When we buy our groceries we frequent three different sources. Tony's is an outdoor grocery stand that has excellent breads, vegetables, freshly squeezed juices, fruits, homemade salsa and tamales and Americanized dairy products and meat. Although Tony's is a little more expensive than the big supermarket in Guaymas, we prefer to shop there for the quality. He is supposed to bring his trucks in Monday to Saturday from 11:30 to 4:30, but in true Mexican fashion Tony just doesn't show up some days! Other days his wife does not feel like getting up early so the salsa and tamales are a no show.
We use a small Mexican store called Santa Rosa for our canned goods and beer supply. This store has brought in many of the same items you can buy in the States. They don't sell Fred's Honey Bunches of Oats, but we did find that 10 miles down the road in Guaymas.
Abel brings in coolers of fresh shrimp and flounder four days a week. His product is always excellent and we buy from him often. Abel is one of the nicest gentlemen we have met in a long time.
When we need water we take our gallon containers to a dispensing machine and buy purified water for 4 pesos [37 cents]. We often have to make two or three bike trips in one day if we happen to run out of beer and water on the same day. Sometimes on the last trip of the day our bikes automatically turn in at Froggies. There is nothing we can do but follow!
