I haven't seen a supermarket in Ensenada that sells pork chops thick enough to stuff. Maybe you can have them cut to order at carnicería San Nicolas?

Thick pork chops, buy a pork loin cut your own.

Loreto is mentioned as one of the cities in Mexico, as Baja as you can get.

I have tried to get then cut that way at San Nicholas. I finally gave up. I buy my Pork Chops at the Pelican they sell what they call American cut.
Their Steak's are really good.

Sure. And if you want stuffed, thick pork chops, put two thin ones together like a sandwich.

How do you folks break down your monthly budgets (roughly), if you don't mind sharing from your experiences ?
I am wanting to "retire" (stop full time work after 43 years at the trough) and pursue my life.....winters in Baja would suit me very well. I have a
few favourite areas that are away from urban centers and would likely rent a small place for 6-months a year....
Thanks for any info 
Don't believe everything you think....

I figure on $1,500 pesos a week, covers eatting really good, toiletries, laundry soap, a few yoga classes, art supplies, Maybe eatting out a couple of
times. At home, I ride my bike, so what food I can carry in the little box on the back. While in Oaxaca, I do most my shopping a foot, so what I can
carry on my back. I have Netflick on my kindle for entertainment.
While I am in Oaxaca, I pay rent, I found a fantastic cabin on the edge of a village an hour out of the city, so add $7,000 pesos to the budget, this
is the most I have ever paid for rent, it is my big blow it. I will only pay rent 2 months this year. In Los Barriles, I own my own home.
Not owning a car, not paying rent, nor drinking or hanging out at a bar contribute to keeping my budget down.

Can you live on $2000 a month???
I could but don't want to try! That is what I worked my whole life for, not to watch the centavo's.
Naturally you have to do what you have to do and and live within your budget and if $2,000 is your budget and you pay attention to happy hours, no
problem.

It costs me around $1200-1500 a month to stay in Baja.
Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.
