Ensenada Costco
Looking for info on the Costco in Ensenada. What brands of beer do they carry? Vodka and whiskey brands? What about sandwich meats - I know the
Costco here has some in Kirkland products, but more premium meats in another section. Also, what about quality of chicken (not the rotisserie one)
and what about steaks...bottled water - the big packs? thx for your input.

Costco has good selection, good quality. If you can't find it at Costco, there are several other large groceries nearby. You ask too many questions
to answer individually!

Costco's prices on alcoholic beverages traditionally cost about 25% less than the equal item in the USA.
Jus as an example for a reference point:
Tequila Don Julio 1942 sells for about $72.00 USD, depending on exchange.
The same thing at Total Wine and More is $96.00 USD.

They have almost everything. If you can't find it there then the Commercial Mexicana - just changed to Soriana Hiper - right next door will have it.
Costco does not tend to have Mexican vodka - Oso Nego - but the Soriana will have it.

fondness for kirkland tequila reposada....i can't afford not to like it!

Which some people (in the know...) say is Grey Goose. Maybe the stuff they spilled on the floor and sucked up with the shop vac. But hey, alcohol
can cleanse anything, no?
I like it. Yummy!

This is ALMOST COMPLETELY INCORRECT.
And why are you comparing Costco prices to Total Wine? Apples and agaves.
Virtually everything is MORE than the equivalent alcoholic item in the States.
BTW, I have only seen the excellent Kirkland Sonoma County Chardonnay at our Costco in Hermosillo ONCE. That was about two years ago. Do you guys get
it in the Ensenada Costco?

I think udo is talking about USA South Dakota prices, eh? 
FYI, here in California, I think USA (socal) prices are lower than Mexico. If you are alcoholic on a budget, I suggest you shop for your fix in the
USA.

Yeah, he is confusing the Kirkland Vodka (the non-American one) with the Kirkland Tequila. I think that one IS Grey Goose............which is actually
a pretty bitter vodka. I prefer the American one.

I prefer my quota of importable alcohol to be in the form of fine wine, so I buy the "hard" stuff (limited to rum and tequila) at the Costco. From
memory I don't think it is more at Costco/Ensenada but I will be there Monday so I will check! I can get a 750 ml bottle of Bacardi in Nor Cal for
about $11, a decent bottle of anejo/reposado for about $45 (both sale prices of course).
