At some point, you're going to get tired of living the way you do... so this is my 3rd blog post on my grocery bill. So people can see how I live, how cheap it is to live here, and because these are easy posts while I work on BeAForeigner.com. 😊
This week I'm making honey garlic butter shrimp over pasta. #delicioso! 🤤
A picture of the shrimp I bought. Does it look different than what you find in your city? 🧐

I'm trying to incorporate more seafood into my diet hence the shrimp. 1kg = 2.20462lbs FYI.
That time of the month is coming so junk food.
I accidentally ordered two bottles of soy sauce but you can see the price difference between crappy products made in the US and products made in Mexico. I don't want anything to do with products from the US because they are harmful and they are ALWAYS more expensive. The only exception I make are my pretzels...everything else I buy is made right here in Mexico or another Latin American country.
Total was $1,401.17 pesos. That's about $75 USD with the exchange rate of about 18 pesos (the exchange rate has dropped) = $1 dollar. That includes the service fee, the tip, and any discounts I received.
Also, check out the week before this post also my other blog posts: What can $196 pesos get me in Mexico City? and How Much I Spend on Groceries in Mexico City.
