Costco

That's right. We have a Costco membership. Never did when living in Canada. Didn't need 5L vats of olive oil I guess. Still don't but Costco is one of the few places you can get good olive oil along with nice cheeses, frozen berries, ok quality dog food, cheap "agua con gas", etc, etc. You can also get hard-to-find items like pine nuts or vegetarian veggie stock (no English books or mags though). Plus it is the ONLY place I've found "fresh" tofu (aka: not in a Tetra pak tofu). I've never utilized these services myself but I've been told the photo print shop & ophthalmologist are pretty good too. The one year membership was approx. MXN$400.00 for 2 cards. Any additional card cost an extra MXN$100.00 I believe. The application process only took about 10 min. and was relatively painless. However, you must have some "officially" looking ID with you when you apply. The drive is about 15 min. from Centro & there is always lots of free parking. To get there head south down Juarez (away from the cathedral). When you get to the roundabout t-intersection thing-y at the end take a right onto Camalinas. Somewhere along the way Camalinas changes its name to Periferico Independencia so don't panic. Costco will be on your left about 5-10 min. later (depending on traffic).
