This afternoon I made four stops (all within 5 minute drive) because I was out of groceries and drinking water.
Just walked across the street for a couple of things (El Centenario $2.06):
(2) two half-liter Coca-Cola's in returnable bottles @ .53 cents each
(1) one liter low-fat milk @ 1.00 each
Down to the restaurant on the main highway (La Chata $10.53):
(2) two beef burritos @ $1.71 each
(2) two ham tortas (sandwiches) @ 1.58 each
(3) three pork tamales @ .95 cents each
and add tip @ 1.10
On the way home stop for fresh baked tortillas (La Guadalajara $.95):
(1) one kilo (2.2 pounds) corn tortillas @ .95 cents
On the way back home stop for purified/filtered water refills (Juan $1.36):
(2) two 5 gallon bottles drinking water @ .68 cents each
I will supplement that by cooking up some white rice at home and opening up a can of beans daily (actually packaged in micro-wave-able envelopes now), should last me three or four days. Instant coffee with oatmeal or cold cereal in the morning (with occasional hot cakes needing the mix, 1 egg, milk, butter, and honey). Beer is on reserve now in the fridge, too cold outside (high temp only about 75 degrees).
The phone bill is due, too @ $20.50 which is a package that includes internet at 20 mbps, unlimited long distance phone calls within Mexico and to USA and Canada, unlimited calls to cell phones, unlimited local calls.
