We thought moving to Mexico meant half-price groceries and margaritas on tap… until our first Costco trip totaled 8,000 pesos. 😳
In this episode of This Might Be a Bad Idea, Erica & Jeff break down the real cost of living in Mérida, Mexico. From grocery store sticker shock and $400 Costco runs to discovering local gems like Rancher’s Table and fresh seafood deliveries, we’re talking all things food, budgeting, and what’s actually cheaper when you move abroad.
💬 In this episode:
•
Is life in Mexico really cheaper than the U.S.?
•
Grocery shopping mistakes every expat makes
•
Costco vs. local markets: what’s worth it
