I am going to make gazpacho and garlic soup in the next couple of days, as well as a pasta salad. Most of these ingredients are for those dishes. All prices are in pesos. For a rough dollar equivalent, divide by 10. A kilogram is 2.2 lbs.

BEVERAGES

I get migranes if I have Nutrasweet, so the Naturel diet soda is a lifesaver! I love it. I have two white wines I like that are in my price range for everyday – the Gallo (don’t gasp) above, and a Mexican white by Monte Xanic. Sometimes they have it, sometimes not.

• Naturel diet soda with Splenda – 15.80
• Naturel diet soda with Splenda – 15.80
• Gallo Chardonnay – 78.80

In summary, all the food shown above amounted to $62.15 US. If we hadn’t needed toiletries this time, it would have been a lot cheaper.
