Walmart in Mexico~ probably a stupid question

Hoping those of you that have ventured out shopping can answer this for me. I'm planning to rent a car and head to Walmart to pick up some snacks, a cooler and beer. When I go to pay the price they will tell me will be in pesos right? Not dollars. I just don't want to look like an idiot or overpay! TIA :)

So you'll be in Cancun?

In PLaya, the Walmart was hellish. Nothing was where we thought it would be, no one could speak any English (not their fault obviously, but it made asking for things difficult), and they didn't carry lots of items we thought they'd have.

Drinks and snacks should be easy though.

 

Ours in Playa just had $ signs but they were all Pesos. That did trip us up a lot.

 

Good luck!

 

I'd get the collapsible cooler at home and bring it though.

if you get in a situation where prices are only available in pesos (which shouldnt happen, but in case you have trouble communicating that you want to know prices in USD) it's generally safe to divide the number of pesos by 10. that will roughly give you an idea of how much you are spending in USD. right now there are actually about 13 pesos to 1 USD.

The prices in the Walmart of Playa are shown in pesos. The sign says "$" but this is the same sign for pesos or dollars. Remember that this is where the local people shop, so the price is in their currency.

 

As regards renting a car - we got an economy one this week-end. 10$ per day, plus insurances (I take only PAI as CDW and other "W" are already included in my Amex) = total 60$ for 3 days, the same price that one way to the hotel... and we went to Playa and other places so it ended up being a good deal.

 

To get to Walmart in Playa, from the highway when you're coming from Cancun, turn left when you see a big sign "cerveceria Cuahautemoc" on the left side of the road (probably a factory). You should be on 10th or 12th street. The Walmart will be on your right when you get to 30a or 25a avenida (it's on 8th street between 25a and 30a). Good luck ! I speak Spanish so it probably helped wink.gif I found what I wanted (champagne, liquors, etc).

 

If you get lost ask the police they are super cool. wink.gif

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
