Zac,

Case of Pacificos is going for 120 pesos. (that is with your deposit). Not sure what Ballenas are going for, but there was a special on a week ago.

120 pesos divided by 20 bottles equals 6 pesos per bottle. That's sure not the bargain I remember from years gone by. It funny, but this is just about the same price as I have found to be common throughout our hemisphere.

The bargains in Latin America seem to either be rum, (excluding Mexico) or locally distilled stuff. In Baja, aguardiente is cheap, but I would be hard pressed to ever consider it a good value.

I have heard said that throughout the years, in the U.S., a six-pack of Budweiser-quality beer has always sold for roughly the same amount of money as an hour's worth of minimum wage, but it seems to be a little cheaper than that now. You have to have some good news.
