All this for 8 pesos, 6 cents CDN. Part of McDonalds free coffee giveaway. This event must be worldwide as we read about it in a PV forum last week. Seeing the sign, in our walkabout at the Liverpool shopping Plaza, free coffee with a cuenito (croissant) for eight pesos. When the tray was made up there was a flyer for free coffee until feb 3rd. Another great deal for all.
At the same mall we discovered that of the ten movies being played in the CinePlex, three of them were in English, another way to keep American dollars in play, and at five dollars admission (seniors' discount) another great deal.
As the day revolves around the evening meal, we don't buy much food in advance, the immediacy of the supermarket has to be appreciated. Where we are staying is in an apartment/condo complex on the first floor of a large mall complex. The anchor store is a food store called Mexicana Comercial. A very good store to boot.The impressive part is in the prepared food dept, where one has to be at the salsa tray before ten in the morning or else you will miss it, it is so popular, and the way the very responsive staff will cater to your whim. For example find a whole water melon of your choice amid other pieces of melon and they still cut your choice as opposed to telling you to choose from the selection. We did the same with a large piece of salmon. "Can you cut a piece?" (of this nicely packaged larger piece), "Si". A mighty fine piece of fish too.
So back to the supermarket this morning, we have got down to bare shelves in the cupboards.
Nobody could ever accuse you two of being foodies. I wonder what Anthony Bourdain would think of you going to MacDonald's for cheap coffee? Where's the authentic Mexican breakfast you took a pic of a couple of years ago, the one with the spicy eggs and stuff?
