I was shocked when I saw food prices on Vancouver Island BC several years ago. But Canadian processed foods are generally light-years better quality
than US stuff. When I compared canadian canned soup at two bucks a can in B.C. and eighty cents a can in Waldo's in San Jose del Cabo (well within the
expiration date) that sorta gives me a clue.
But there is one hell of a difference in Mexico shopping at Bodega Aurrera, versus Wal-Mart. Both are sisters of WallyWorld. Baja California is
missing the mercado central of the real Mexico, and missing tianguis. Like Von's versus Grocery Outlet.
BAJA CALIFORNIA IS N-O-T "MEXICO"
It is Baja California Mexico. A unique different and separate world.
Like trying to compare food prices between Point Barrow Alaska, with L.A. (Well, after all it's "America").

How does 15 pesos = .75 usd and 10 pesos = .75 usd?
