Saturday is sample day at Costco (and Mega Balcones). Costco also has Maple syrup! You can get almost everything American (and more!)that Costco carries but in reasonable sizes at the Mega Balcones, which is my favorite grocery store(it’s located at Circuito & 60th). They’ve even started carrying fresh Mexican milk (and real cream -not crema) there sometimes. They also have every kind of imported cheese there is -I bought Gruyere there last week- and also the butcher department has the BEST bacon ever (it looks gross though -all grey) (Oooh -have you seen the bright green chorizo yet by the way?) Walmart also sells half gallons of fresh milk, if you don’t mind shopping there politically. email me any time if you wanna know where to find something.

Oh, I forgot to thank you! I also now have over a kilo of breakfast sausage in my freezer! Yeah! My husband and son say thank you too!

Matt: Still no Skippy Super Chunk, but we DID score about a gallon of Skippy Creamy. SO not the same, but a step up from the Mexican brands, which I am pretty sure is a mixture of ground peanuts and granulated sugar. And as for Bagel Bites…the memory of having 96 racks of them in our freezer has put me off for a while.

Nancy & Billie: We are thinking about starting a small business here…anyone with bagel making skills is welcome to apply.

Theresa: It’s definitely there, and we now have more than we could ever possibly eat. Perhaps we should host a Sunday brunch. In the meantime, here’s the map. When you are standing in the fresh produce section (in the corner, by the natural foods but BEFORE you get into soda and paper products), face the freezer aisles. The sausage you seek is in the second row to the right, on the right hand side, nearest your end of the aisle. Godspeed.

breakfast sausage? you found breakfast sausage? where do they keep it?I keep looking and I haven’t seen it, do you think maybe I just don’t remember what breakfast sausage looks like?. If you want to meet extranjeros in Merida hang out at Costco and Home Depot.

The Costco in Queretaro has bagels but you have to buy about 18 in a package. I think you must have hit a bad day or time because the one in QTR does have samples. We just have to make a run to Costco periodically for toilet paper and wine. LOL

Pretzels.

Don’t knock the bagel bite samples.
