daisy2013 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I want to make beef stew so I went to Super Lake and bought a few cans at 19 pesos each can. I will be making a large batch so I needed more. I then went to Pancho’s the price looked to be 65 pesos, I asked the cashier and she said 79 pesos. So I then went to El Torito and it was 17 pesos Guess it helps to check around 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Pancho is still gouging his customers. I asked the price of their Clam Chowder the other day in the defunct deli section. They wanted 260 pesos for a liter. I can get it anywhere in town that makes it for 130 pesos. I obviously only go there when no one else has what I need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajijicbound Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 They have a facebook page. You can message them if you do not want to ask in person. They have chicken, beef and vegetable stock. It is very full of flavor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalMart also sporadically carries it. I actually spend more and buy the Kirkland brand; I find it much richer and more flavourful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and it is easy enough to mow one's own lawn, clean one's own house, etc, but who wants to? Anything can be made at home, however, we are retired. I have a friend who keeps saying the same to me, oh it is easy enough to make, do, etc 3 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
