Grocery shopping

Ayyaya. I could have 100 posts about food and grocery. I love grocery shopping in any new place so, surprise, I really love shopping the small tiendas and bodegas here. Or street stands. Or Tianguses. or the guy selling avocados by the kilo in front of his house. But there is a new trend in Mexican living, you now have to pay for plastic bags! Im not necessarily complaining, its a good thing to encourage less plastic bags! And Im not sure if it is everywhere, but in this area I pay 2 pesos for a bolsa grande. Suddenly dog poop bags got expensive!!! it took quite a few trips for me to realize they were charging me...ha.

Ettas job is to translate the receipt and figured out how much we spent in US dollar. A good way it seems to learn the language. And to realize i spent a whole 6 pesos on bags. However, you know, some shopping trips you want to save the bag fee and then you look at your purchases and wonder, who am I, an old man?

Yep I needed some eggs and a newspaper, and why not a couple of bottles of beer? If I had a thing of Tums that would have made it complete. Until my next shopping experience!
