Shopping in San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico

The cost of living in San Felipe 2009

Grocery and vegetables - 26 September 2009

Here are some examples of prices this weekend at a local market. Prices are converted to dollars at the typical 13.1 peso/$ rate. I do not claim that these are either the cheapest or most expensive in San Felipe. They are representative of locations where many Americans shop in town.
