Shopping in Los Cabos region
As you may have noticed, I plan on taking my family down to Cabo(the whole region) for a week or so in late June, before slowly heading north,
stopping at Conejo and Abreojos, before coming home. My question is, do I even need to do the big shopping trip in the states any more? Usually, I'm
headed directly to some place remote, like Abreojos, where you can't find a COSTCO, or whatever, but this time, it's straight to Cabo! So, is there a
Costco in Cabo? If not, what are good stores to buy the standard "camping" food?
Thaks ahead of time for any advice!
Steve

Steve,
There is a Costco at KM6 on the the highway from Cabo to San Jose. There are east/west feeder roads on each side of the highway. If you are going
from Cabo, you will need to exit to the feeder road to make a left across highway to feeder road going back west to Cabo. Pay attention as KM6 is
about 8 min from Cabo. You will be making your 2 left turns at the light on the arrow. After you make your second left, Costco is one block on your
right.

In addition both San Jose and San Lucas have many more options than there were a few years ago. Back in the day Aramboro and San Liz werethe
bigoptions in San Lucas but not any more.

Times change so fast down there!
Years back, the big store was "Castro's" up a few blocks off the main drag. So, does my COSTCO membership card work there, or do they just charge a
little extra?

Your Costco card is accepted...no problema.
Some may disagree, but the prices are out of line...Costco prices here in the SF Bay Area are a lot less...go figure.
CCC on the way to Todos Santos has most things you need and reasonable. Some things if you must have, Costco is the place. Sorbina(sp) is another good
place to shop. close to CCC...prononced SAY SAY SAY.

Diana's was the best little market in Cabo for years. Only place to get good meat, cheese. First time I went to shop there in 95-96?, only Mexican's,
very little gringo's. After Soriana's, CCC and Costco, they could not compete and have been closed for a few years now. Soon there will be Walmart.
Thankfully I live 30 miles north of Cabo and only have to visit once or twice a month.

City Club
When in Cabo San Lucas, I normally use the Marina Sol as my base of operations, and just a two block walk away is the City Club (reminds me of
a price club) which is where I usually stock up ..... Enjoy your
visit CaboRon

TRIP TO CONEJO
SteveU,
If you're going to Conejo, stop by Rancho la Aguja - it's on the way. Take Km55 (marked "Conquista Agraria", drive to the ebach, and there we are.
Conejo is about an hour more to the north.
