Ajijic Mexico — What to Expect

We spent 5 weeks in Ajijic Mexico and in the nearby town of San Antonio Tlayacapan along the shore of Lake Chapala in Mexico. The Lake Chapala area and Ajijic in particular are popular destinations for US and Canadian retirees, especially during the winter months. There are many services and businesses that cater to the expat community, and English is readily spoken. It’s also pretty pricey relative to the other areas we’ve visited so far in Mexico, but still very affordable compared to the USA, and especially so if you put a little effort into managing your budget.

Grocery Costs in Mexico – How Expensive is Mexico

How expensive is Mexico? Here is a look at some of our grocery costs in Guadalajara, Mexico where we are living for one month. We don’t generally drive or take taxis, so we mostly shop at the nearest grocery stores where we can conveniently walk. We did most of our shopping at Soriana, a chain grocery store in central Mexico. At local street markets and smaller groceries you can also shop and find items at lower costs.
