Back from Cabo - this is what I found at Costco!!!

[JessicaM]

Thank you Jill for checking on all of that at Costco...the La Europea store sounds cool...have to check that out. Thanks again for doing all of that!!

This is an awesome thread! Thank you so much. Sounds like the prices are pretty comparable to here. Do you happen to know if the Dos Equis was the amber or the lager (red or green label)? The reason I ask is because my FI loves the lager and wants to get a few cases when we get down there (he can't stand Corona). Now I just need to find out if we can bring in beer/liquor to an all-inclusive. I don't see why not, just means we aren't drinking their stuff! We'll sneak it in if we have to

I don't remember! I want to say it was the green label, since that's the one I'm used to seeing, and would have remembered if it was different. I'll ask my FI if he remembers and get back to you!

Ok, thanks! It probably was the green, I think that's more common.

Thank you so much! I am SHOCKED by how expensive the champagne is...those prices are almost double what it is here. Guess we will just be doing a champagne toast!

I hope I got everything you all needed, plus I threw in a few fun things as well! Without further ado, here are Costco options and pricing!   All prices are in pesos!   Liquor: Bacardi 1.75L $159 Absolute 1L $175 Grey Goose 750ml $349 Cuervo Margarita Mix 1L $43.51 Malibu 75ml $139 Jack Daniels 1L $295   Tequila: Cuervo Espec. 990ml $105 Corralejo 1L $175 Cazadores 1L $215 Don Julio Blanco 750ml $219 Don Julio Reposado 1L $359   Champagne & Wine (for Alisarosenbaum): Moet $495 Moet Nectar $535 Veuve $535 Taittinger Rose $655 Kirkland’s (this is Costco brand) $285 Cook’s $98 Yellowtail Shiraz $99 They also had a great selection of wine, including Coppola, Blackstone, Ravenswood, etc.   Beer: Corona (cans) Case $185 Corona (bottles) Case $175 Dos Equis $155 They didn’t have any Pacifico, which is my favorite Mexican beer! They better get some in stock by November!   Bottled Water/Cokes: Kirkland 16oz bottles, 35 bottles $70 Kirkland baby bottles (maybe 8oz?), 70 bottles $12 (that doesn’t look right to me, might have jotted that one down wrong?) Diet Coke 24 cans $130 (the rest of the Cokes were in the same price range)   Flowers (for Clussy75): 24 Roses $169 They had at the store 33 dozen roses, in red, pink, yellow, white, orange & peach Mixed bouquets $129   Fun Food & OOT stuffers: Jelly Belly jelly beans $109 (can be put into small clear plastic bags with a sticker of your logo and tied with raffia, which would be so cute!) Chocolates filled with tequila, Malibu, Khalua, bag of approx. 50 pieces for $79 Mini Tostitos (packaged in individual servings) 24 pack for $115 Gigantic marshmallows (pink & white), maybe the size of two golf balls, perfect for S’mores! Didn’t get the price   coreyphil, I did not find any mirrors or candles at Costco. I know, weird. I made FI walk up & down every aisle and neither of us saw any?   Ok ladies, I think that’s it! Let me know if I have forgotten anything! Hope this helps!

You have to take into consideration that the exchange rate is over 10 Mexican pesos per US dollar so considering the exchange, the prices actually aren't too bad. Check out the exchange here: Exchange Rate of the Mexican Peso vs. All Currencies - CorporateInformation.com

Agreed, I didn't think the prices were bad either, I mean Veuve here is like $45-$50 anywhere you go. They can up it a bit, but it's not terrible. Now the resorts...that's another story!

[KRISTEN]

Thank you so much for all the pricing information! That is great and I was wondering about the liquor and champagne.
