Our fridge was nearly empty, so we ended up filling a whole cart. Well, Ty filled it...I dinked around and kinda lagged behind and tried not to whine too much. (I hate shopping and crowds and get bored really easy...and Mr. Chef loooooves to browse, much to my dismay.)
While we were checking out, I happened to look up at the screen and saw that the four large mangos I picked out came to 15.79 MX, which is less than one dollar...which is crazy awesome because my favorite fruit was super expensive back home and I rarely bought them. That's when I had the thought, "I should post our entire receipt from today."
So, as soon as we got home I translated our receipt into English, which ended up being a pretty entertaining way to learn a few more Spanish words. (Did you know the Spanish word for peanut is cacahuate? Now you do.)
Click RIGHT HERE to be taken to a Google doc of today's purchases. I listed the prices in pesos and US dollars. Amazingly, we spent less than 60 bucks today on what would have probably cost about double back home.
Fun fact: We have to soak all of our fruits and vegetables in iodine water when we get home to get rid of any bacteria so we don't get sick. And then Ty and I play a fun game where I sit on the floor in front of the open fridge and he stands at the sink and tosses citrus fruits at my head. Today I practiced my one-handed catch with the oranges and pretended I was Doug Baldwin. Man, we need to find some hobbies.
Okay... I'm off to see what delicious thing Ty plans on feeding me tonight for dinner. Adios!
