  1. As promised, following up. Auto-reply from Costco said 24 hours. Still nada at 40.... reminder sent. 800 number NEVER not busy. Did what was left to me. 1. Tried to talk on phone to Televisa (Guad AND Mexico city). Newsrooms were always too busy to answer. 2. Have now sent emails to Televisa and heraldobinario, and left voice message at Milenio news room line (ref: the links) ... asking in all cases they follow up their stories with ALL big companies, but these 2 in particular, because they're taking advantage and are in non-compliance with Federal law that was in no way a surprise. Emphasized this hurts Mexicans trying to feed themselves, never mind their pets, these days. Results IF they happen. Meanwhile always remember.... it is NEVER good to piss off old people with too much time on their hands! 😾😾😾
  2. Electric coffee/spice grinder works really well. And since pre-ground flax seed deteriorates quite quickly, you can do on as-needed basis. I add raw sunflower seeds---- I Tbsp each---- and do it daily.
  3. Doubt that since they specifically told me today they knew nothing of it. AND this did not happen in a snap.... it was proposed, debated, and put into law long before the end of the year.... to go into effect Jan 1. Will let you know if and when I get a response to the email I sent them today beside "auto-reply". NO..... that's another place completely. As for Riberas: Already told you: as of yesterday, according to a friend, they did not
  4. The way I read it on the sites mentioned, they can't do that. There appears to be a way fro them to regain what they paid. Not familiar enough with the IVA process going up the chain to comment. But since WM WAS applying the zero IVA to feminine stuff yesterday, your theory doesn't totally hold water.
  5. Fred...... sorry for your problem with them Read what I posted today on the IVA situation. Time they got a few chains jerked---- HARD
  6. By the way.... would someone who uses FB PLEASE post? Also...... dry goods manager in Walmart yesterday (Sergio) said they did know about the feminine products but had heard nada re: pet foods. He said "we will ask head office". Suggest they are also bombarded with printouts.... or someone else can take a turn and contact Walmart Mexico.
  7. According to a friend who uses them, they are unable to get the discount at Costco yet.
  8. https://www.bbva.mx/educacion-financiera/seguros/iva-alimento-para-mascotas.html https://www.milenio.com/negocios/productos-que-estaran-exentos-de-iva-en-2022-en-mexico https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/economia/2021/12/08/toallas-sanitarias-y-alimentos-para-lomitos-estos-productos-no-tendran-iva-en-2022/ https://www.heraldobinario.com.mx/tendencias/2021/12/13/sat-que-productos-servicios-estaran-libres-de-iva-en-2022-en-mexico-19297.html https://noticieros.televisa.com/historia/productos-para-gestion-de-menstruacion-y-otros-que-dejaran-de-pagar-iva-en-2022/ All are in Spanish but should do the trick.
  9. as of yesterday, according to a friend, they did not
  10. Federal law re: what IVA (16%) applies to changed as of January 1. Not to be applied any more to three sectors: Feminine hygiene products, farm animal feeds (for those destined to human food chain), and pet foods. I called the Vallarta store today and was told "we've never heard of it". Apparently ditto at Animal shelter and LSS. Yes.... you might think this should be in Furry Friends. But I think it will attract more noise and reaction if placed here. I sent email to Costco Mexico head office a few moments ago, with 4 on-line news stories re: same, and asked WHY they are not in compliance. (Auto-reply said they'll be back to me in 24 hours). Suggest a whole bunch more people start taking them to task..... or else doubt anything will happen until and unless PROFECO gets involved. So---- get your squeaky wheels in action and make NOISE! atencionalsocio@costco.com.mx (800-801-1111 another option but rang busy too long)
  11. Please be sure CAT rescue people you know get to see and share this. It's priceless.
  12. Oh good..... another newbie going to come here and tell us how to run things.
  13. Have you considered this means they don't WANT you there? πŸ˜πŸ€”
  14. Woke up today and had a scary thought. Googled (thought 7) and found there were supposedly 10 plagues visited on Egypt when Pharaoh would not permit Israelites to leave. Biblical, scientific, and other sources all have opinions about causes/ veracity, etc. No opinion from me. BUT.......... for whatever reason, if this happened regardless of cause/form.......... what does that mean today? We've had Original Sars CoV2, followed major variants ( never mind countless sub- and sub- sub- variants): Delta, Alpha, Gamma, Beta, and now Omicron. So even if we let the original version count as one, does that mean we won't be out of these woods until four more new ones appear? πŸ€” This is NOT meant as a serious topic for starting a s**t storm, but a tongue in cheek way to say......... Happy New Year to all, but the fat lady is nowhere close to singing yet so y'all stay safe! 😻😻😻
  15. Way to late in giving you a big thumbs up amigo. Yes the change in attitude once any Mexican --- friend or stranger--- sees my IFE is like the whole room is ablaze with light! Eyes sparkle, big smile appears, and in cases of "officialdom" difficulties melt away...... or are no longer impossible. And many of my neighbours, introducing me to a new friend/family in the 'hood, proudly tells them I am "one of them". πŸ₯° There used to be (now?) only one requirement that, if a person isn't a criminal type, meant nothing. We had to revoke our rights to yell "help" from Canadian Consulate in case of being caught doing anything illegal while on Mexican soil. Only seems fair to me.
  16. Upper right corner when you're signed in. Image of an envelope. Should see a "1" .. meaning you have one message. Click on envelope. Take it from there.
  17. Not unless there's a really weird situation to deal with.
  18. Only learned yesterday of my dear friend's passing Nov 11 in hospital on libramiento. Apparently this was on FB, but for those like me, posting this sad news. Descansa in Paz, amiga.
  19. Same from me. So VERY sorry to learn of Chris' passing.
  20. Canadian news on line has this video up. WORTH WATCHING!!! We lived it back in 1996..... up to our above crotches, trying to shovel boatload of snow off FLAT roof over 75 feet long x ??? wide that was NOT built to withstand the load.... using a dustpan and a garden spade. Took many hours...... and if I remember correctly broke 100-year old record. Truly was an example of "when the going gets tough... the tough get going". https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/it-was-colder-in-victoria-this-weekend-than-during-the-blizzard-of-96-1.5721318
  21. My sister says Edmonton is even worse πŸ₯Ά
