Imports

The first grocery store we found, Disco, was pretty good for the first couple weeks. I mean, they only have razors with three blades instead of the five we enjoy in the U.S., and I never experienced even one thunderclap preceding a misty downpour in the produce section, but when I saw they had an import section with Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup cans and even a small posse of Heinz ketchup squeeze bottles, I was hooked!



We've since moved on to Carrefour, which is closer and has, like, seven different toilet paper choices and Coca-Cola coolers at the head of each checkout line. Just like home.

Seriously, though, the best part is that if we spend 200 pesos ($50 US) or more, they deliver for free! Honestly, the delivery man (so far they've all been young guys) even comes up the elevator and brings the bags into our kitchen. Unfortunately tonight I could only manage 148 pesos, so I had to carry my fabric bolsas (yeah, we really brought our own from home - we're nuts!) AND two 6 liter bottles of water home ALL the way home by myself. Rough.
