Price Comparisons

The prices of things here are so different from in Houston. I bought oranges last night that were 90 cents for 2 1/2 pounds! I bought a salmon fillet that was almost 2 feet long and an inch and a half thick for $9!!! Fresh produce and seafood are sooooo inexpensive here. We can eat so healthy for so cheap. A meal at a nice restaurant runs less than $10. We had a nice buffet for $8 the other day and Emmy's kid buffet was less than $2. That is exciting.
On the other hand...furniture is crazy expensive in Cancun. Wood is not cheap so any furniture reflects the price of the wood. Baby accessories like walkers, high chairs and bed rails are really outrageous. We bought a portable high chair for Davin in Houston at Walmart for less than $20. Here it was almost $100. A $30 bed rail was almost $60 here. The areas where we are saving money are being made up for in the areas where things are so expensive. : )

One suggestion: Don't eat the furniture!
