Seeing as we are pretty boring people there is nothing too exciting going on with us right now, so if you are looking for excitement here, sorry, not going to happen. We live a pretty relaxed, normal (for us) life.
Some new things going on in the city. Sams Club opened a few weeks ago. I didn't buy a membership when they were selling them before the store opened. I have a deep aversion to paying a store to shop there and then paying for the products on top of that. Anyway, I headed over there one day and just walked into the store like I belonged there and no one asked me about my membership card lol. I wandered the whole store and didn't see anything in a size that we would buy or at prices that were worth the initial cost of the membership card. OK, been there, done that.
Walmart opened its doors yesterday so I went to check it out with the landlady and her sister. We found some bargains and as we all know our prices, ( more or less), for our normal purchases we did a lot of price checking. They had some good opening specials; whether these prices will continue or not who knows?
My best priced specials I think were the bags of flour at 2 for 10 pesos and blank CDs at 4 for 10 pesos. See, I warned you, no excitement here lol.
The store was packed with people and the employees were being very helpful. Will probably go back sometime; but not often.
The landlady knew that Ley was also having a lot of specials to try and compete so after coming home for lunch we then headed back out to check out their specials. We got some good deals on veggies such as large tomatoes for 5.45 pesos a kilo, roma tomatoes for 2.90 pesos a kilo and potatoes for 7.90 pesos a kilo, a head of lettuce was 6.50 pesos, onions were also cheap. For the amounts that we use it is not that big a deal; but for the landlady it is as she purchases large amounts for the whole family.
We had fun shopping together and found that we buy many of the same products, the landlady and I are both into reading labels and buying fresh stuff over packaged, so when one of us found a bargain we made sure we told the other.
After our shopping was done we dropped her sister off and then we went over and visited with a good friend of hers that she needed to see. After a nice visit we headed home. I really enjoyed the day out with the girls, something I very seldom do. Good fun and a real workout for my language non skills, a whole day with no English spoken.
Visited with the landlord for a bit in the evening and that was it for the day.
Today not too much on the day planner lol. Tough job this being retired!
Have a good weekend.
