Wal*Mart finagled its way into our agenda. It was strange to see the variance in Mexican prices compared to home. Anything plastic or petroleum based was more expensive and makeup costs about a 30-50% more in Mexico than the US.



Instant toast is ridiculously popular here, and every loaf of bimbo bread has a prize inside (think eighties cereal boxes). Another craze: unrefrigerated, boxed and non-perishable milk. Mmmmm, tasty.



Nothing spells delicious and nutritious quite like a warm sheet of fried pig lard, a treat the whole family can enjoy! I hear it's really conducive to promoting cardiovascular health and lowering cholesterol.


Here they advertise meat not as fresh, but recently killed. The Wal*Mart butchers had a saw (seriously, like shop class only instead of wood chips blood was flying) they use to dissect the animals. These are chicken feet, used for, well, I don't know what.



There's loads of squid and other nefarious sea creatures lining the freezers. Kim's holding an octopus in its entirety, but you can buy the ink separately for seasoning sauce. Really, who needs ketchup?



This is probably the most absurd find of the day. It's a gel brassiere like contraption that you freeze then stick to your, um....uh, womanly parts (?) for maximum health and her pleasure....I think I speak for all womankind when I give this product a resounding thumbs down.
