Don't Move To Mexico Without This...| Moving To Mexico| What To Bring| Mexitplans Essential Guide

[@GlobalAdventurer]

Congratulations on taking the steps to sell your house! Yes, you're doing it backwards, but I guess that's the safer way if you have possible doubts. When I decided to sell my house, it coming to Mexico but to start traveling in an RV. In general having a house and leaving it vacant for months wasn't a good idea when grass needed to be cut, or snow removed or grass watered etc, so the best thing for me was to just sell it. I tried to sell my furniture and anything I wasn't taking with me but that didn't really work out, as people wanted just one thing out of an entire set of dining room furniture for example. So, what actually worked was to just to leave ALL the furniture, accessories, wall art etc....like everything and sell the house as is with everything included. The only things I took out were items I would need for my RV. When my real estate agent listed like that with all the photos it sold immediately and I closed and left the property in 30 days. I thought at one point I would miss all of that stuff, and never missed anything and only replaced one thing I left in that house and that was one of those glass tea kettles to warm up water. That was it. Never repurchased anything I left. I still have that RV and everything in it in storage. I'll be going back to the US in July to sell it with everything included that I don't decide to take back here with me. It's been sitting since 2015, so whatever I haven't used, I certainly don't need now. That's the last thing I need to get rid of, and I already have a buyer so, easy peasy. You shouldn't have any issue bring your coffee pot, as long as it looks USED. I use amazon basics large duffel bags to bring back my stuff. That coffee maker will definitely fit in it. Just order some of those duffel bags and load them up with all your stuff. I swear those are the best bags for storing stuff and transporting stuff. For an example, those duffel bags will hold one of those white commercial buckets you see vendors using or the folks that wash cars around mexico. It will hold that and things even larger than that. Just giving you some suggestions. Personally, almost everything in Mexico is sky high. I've been saying that since I first came here. The only thing that is not high is Uber and Bus transportation. Buying homes or renting unfurnished homes and apartments are cheap. But, renting furnished apartments and homes are no cheaper than in the US. So, I have no clue why people think it's cheap to live in Mexico. I have no clue how the average person working in Mexico even can afford to live here. I buy mostly everything off amazon US or MX and have the stuff delivered including vitamins. But, since most stuff people from the US buy is exported down here, those cost increase the selling price unfortunately. But, unfortunately, anything you want to buy from another country no matter which country is higher than buying in the country where it's manufactured. For instance, when I was in london, I fell in love with those bakewell tarts and in the US you can't find them anywhere but on amazon. So, you pay like 5x more for them on Amazon, but I bought them because I wanted them. Same thing for Debbie Snacks. You can buy them on Amazon.MX and pay the import fees etc if you really want them :) Some department stores like Palacio Hierro has a lot of stuff you can buy online that they also deliver. Don't have any issues with Wifi where I'm located. My T-Mobile cell phone and data coverage works excellent too here. I've brought small cooking appliances to mexico in those duffel bags, including my best fans "vornado" and alexa devices, and everything else. No issues at all. A boatload of supplements. Customs only checked me the first time because I had 3 large duffle bags and a carry on and personal item. All the other times I took only two duffel bags or one and they didn't stop me. When they looked through myself they were mainly looking through the clothing labels. For either counterfeit or resell. The best thing is to have stuff all mixed up in your luggage and don't let appear as though the stuff is brand new and definitely remove the labels on everything. But, in a nutshell Mexico is expensive on everything in my opinion, and I feel sorry for people that can't afford it, which is a lot of people living and working here.

[@Mexitplans]

Excellent Information and thank you for the tips. Thank you for being a Mexitplans Subscriber.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

@@Mexitplans Thanks for your channel 👍 Just want to mention also, that Amazon MX has been giving free shipping and free export fees on a lot of products from the US. It will say "Gratis International" on those products. You can also go to Amazon US site and set your address to Mexico and see all the stuff they ship down here. I do it both ways to find the cheapest way. Good luck 👍. Oh, and knock on wood I haven't had any issues with noise where I'm at right now. The first place I stayed there were lots of dogs barking. Only thing here are the musicians that walk up and down the streets fri-sun. I usually give them money.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

@Galleta de Soda In Mexico City. It's no cheaper than living in most regular cities in the US. Don't believe everything you see in videos. If you're in a small city in Mexico, yes it's cheaper. But, I have no desire to live in a small city in Mexico. I love Mexico City, and the prices are higher for everything, except transportation and drugs, than in many small to medium size cities I've lived all my life. Also, even traveling throughout the US for 10 years I had good knowledge on basic prices for average food, cleaning and healthcare products. For instance, a "single room" furnished guesthouse in a decent area runs from $900-$2000, after monthly discounts. Furnished studio with a separate bedroom $2000-$3500. All grocery store products are the exact same prices as in the US, or a lot more no matter what grocery store. I've been to them all. I buy a lot of stuff off amazon US website and have it shipped here for free or a few dollars than buy it off Amazon MX site. Or buy it off Amazon MX that gives free shipping from the US. Walking around Mexico City and any city in Mexico you can always find cheap street food, or comida corrida, but inside a regular restaurant, the prices are the same as in the US.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

@Galleta de Soda I'm aware of all that, I'm was just stating the facts that Mexico City is indeed expensive for everyday living. I can more than afford it, but I just don't like paying an arm and a leg for something as simple as listerine or any mouthwash that I used to buy the largest bottle they make for $3.00 in the US. The same manufacturers are here and the stuff is still expensive. Even their off brands are expensive. But, I like living here a whole lot better than anywhere in the states, so it's just a very minor issue.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

@Galleta de Soda When I talk about high accommodation prices in Mexico City, I'm talking about furnished accommodations as long term rentals. Not for purchase. I'm not buying any property anywhere. I sold my last house in 2005 and was glad to do so. I'm a full time traveler and just need a nice comfortable place with housekeeping and security and I'm fine. I love the place I live and hope to live there indefinitely. Especially since the owners (two families) own all the buildings on the entire block and take really good care of all of them. I trust them also, and they don't allow kids there or dogs. It's on the oldest most scenic street in Mexico City, in Santa Catarina. Got an excellent deal to stay here compared with all the other homes I looked at. Above all it's a total stand alone house, with no houses on all four sides. Complete privacy. Couldn't ask for more😊. So, I'm a happy camper 👍

[@jene5420]

Love all of your videos. BTW, it will also be good to bring Dehumidifiers with you to Mexico. I live in San Felipe, Baja Mexico and my Pohl Schmitt room dehumidifiers work amazingly well. Not expensive.

[@Mexitplans]

GREAT SUGGESTION

[@takayasweeney]

They have polenta there, which is actually healthier for you than the degerminated white grits most of us eat here. We’ve already been transitioning ourselves over to prepare for what’s not in Merida. It’s fine to take stuff w/you, but if you’re planning on staying forever, as we are soon, you’ll eventually run out of those things then will be thrown into having to find alternatives. 🤷🏾‍♀️💙 Just immerse yourself in the area and don’t look back. Most of the time we hold onto a bunch of stuff because it’s comfortable.

[@Mexitplans]

We have enough people visiting to keep us stocked up on the thing we like. Yep Polenta is a good substitute for the white washed grits of home.

[@takayasweeney]

@@Mexitplans Good deal💙💜

[@betv3599]

Hi! We have found just about all our needs met at Costco. Bringing blankets etc. was too heavy, we brought our blender, but we found Mr. tofu great for vitamins. You can also order on Iherb. Walmart is pretty decent as well. I’m unsure about your area, but it’s beyond silent here. It’s louder in Florida. We just went to Biciruta and that event was quieter than most things I’ve attended in Florida. For curly girls or boys, like my daughter and sons. Walmart has Maui Moisture and other curly hair friendly products. Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Thanks Monte for excellent information including my favorite foods, household/office items, BR, LR, Kitchen, bathroom, mosquito and moisture protection items, surge protectors, smoke detectors, carbon dioxide detectors, computers/laptops, and WI-Fi and so much more. Lord you're a blessing because I never would have thought of many of these items and would have to pay t purchase them after moving. Thanking you for paving the way and making it easier for us new expats moving. Be blessed.

[@priscillamichelle1889]

Thank you SO much for this comprehensive list. I have been searching for advice about what I should try to bring rather than replace. It has been frustrating to see only one extreme or the other. People say sell it all or advise how to truck the entire house down to Mexico. I needed a list of what is not easily replaced or considerably more expensive to replace. You nailed it! Much appreciated.

[@Mexitplans]

I moved my essential stuff from an apartment in LA to Oaxaca on several trips. I used three large suitcases. My things were inspected on each trip.

Curly natural girls can find excellent products at Walmart. I just bought Maui moisture for my daughter. Maybe a dollar more than in America.

[@Mexitplans]

Excellent. That you for the feedback.

[@lupitacajero7185]

In Mexico, you are still in America; Mexico is in North America; this is the American Continent; the USA is not the only country in America.

[@Attorney1913]

Thank you for your videos. I do have a question: Are there stray dogs in your area? Can you recommend an area of Merida where stray dogs are not an issue?

[@Mexitplans]

That area does not exist in All of Mexico maybe Latin America. The stray dogs see you and walk on by minding their business. I’ve never seen an aggressive stray dog. Once during the pandemic I saw like 40 dogs in a casino parking lot. I somehow think they were placed there for security of that space. They were aggressive to other pets walking by but that was it.

Bring it with you is my recommendation. It will be cheaper.

No need for supplements the food there is so much more nutritious,richer soil. more micro nutrients.you might not need vitamin d supplements with all that sunshine and fresh fish

The food here is amazing comparatively to the states.

Wonder why they are no longer granting permanent residence to anyone not of retirement age?

[@Mexitplans]

There was a change back in January 2021.

[@asta9386]

As always very useful information. Here I thought you just order products from Amazon as usual 😂 but really not funny. Keyboard I would never know and that some things would be expensive.

[@Mexitplans]

Thank you for continuing to watch.

[@mjb9899]

Congratulations on the final move. I was wondering. Did you apply for a temporary or permanent resident visa. If so, how difficult was it?

[@Mexitplans]

Thank you. I am a permanent resident. It wasn’t difficult. The main requirement was financial. As of 1/1/2021 they are not issuing PR for those not at retirement age.

@@Mexitplans 😬 what is considered "retirement age" in 🇲🇽

[@Mexitplans]

@@pearlperlitavenegas2023 62 1/2 I believe. It’s the retirement age of the USA that I was referring to. If you are receiving Social Security or distributions from your IRA or 401K.

Thank you for the great advice. 👍I've got a question about the supplements. You mentioned they won't go through customs. But then how do I restock? I can't take countless packets otherwise they think I'm selling it. How do you solve this issue🤔. I don't plan on flying back to the US. I'm thankful for every productive suggestion. 🙏

[@Mexitplans]

Good question that I don’t have an answer for. I know people asks others to bring them when they come.

[@lupitacajero7185]

Can I use my showerhead in Mexican showers? Are they a standard same size as in the USA?

[@Mexitplans]

Yes

[@GlobalAdventurer]

One more thing, I forgot to mention about "Swiffers", you know the sweeper that you attach a disposable cloth? Well, Amazon MX use to not carry them, but they carry them now, and prices fluctuate often. Anyway, regardless that they sell them, it's not a thing most Mexicans are interested in buying. They still like to use a squeegee and a rag to clean the floor, or a mop. Just like the street cleaners rather use those homemade humongous brooms made out of real bush twigs. They actually do the job way better than a push broom. Ok. I'm done. lol

[@Mexitplans]

Thanks. I brought back swiftest for a friend before. I forgot to add this for the house.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

@@Mexitplans Many countries I've been to the folks don't have any interest in a "swiffer", even after I tell them how easy it is to use and show them a video. Many people are very traditional in the way they live and have no use for anything more convenient. That's what I found out in many countries I've been too. I guess the same thing applies to people who were born and raised in the US. US likes coffee and donuts mainly and in the UK they like tea and biscuits/cookies/tarts. So, we are all so different.

[@heavydutie1]

Thank you for all the great insight you're offering. If you're driving I would like to see a video on your route and where you stop on the way because it would seem to me that from the border you would have to spend the night at least twice before reaching Merida. We're a good place to stop?

[@Mexitplans]

Definitely not driving. We moved in suitcases and by plane. I don’t recommend you drive.

[@heavydutie1]
