I hope you find this video about the cost of living in Mexico helpful 🤓🇲🇽

[@gardensaregodly960]

Anywhere we go in Mexico the first thing I ask is “Where is the Mercado” I love mercados.

[@alex-wittman]

Yesssss! There was definitely a bit of an adjustment period for me to get used to doing my shopping there, but now, I have all my go-to vendors and I love it! Before it would take me forever bc I was looking in so many different directions and didn't know where to go 😅

[@BlackQueenA1825]

Thanks for the breakdown. I'm actually glad that your numbers came out a little differently so that we could see both sides of it. I see many estimates that show how cheap it can be if you restrict everything but realistically, sometimes, you will want to go out or eat nicer things so thanks for the comparison.

[@alex-wittman]

Thanks for watching, Angel & I'm so glad you found it helpful! It was my goal to show a realistic, unrestrictive budget, so I'm super happy that's how it translated 🤓

[@jordancaley4554]

Great video! I like how you provide a very honest and realistic picture, including the mention of food prices varying by region. You show us that while you could potentially spend a lot less on food, you are really enjoying the wide variety of dining options Querétero has to offer for much less than what you'd be spending in the US, Europe, etc. 😊

[@alex-wittman]

Thanks for watching, Jordan! There are a lot of videos out there about how cheap you can eat in Mexico, but exactly like you said, I wanted to show what eating from a variety of places would look like to help ppl see another side. I'm glad you thought it was honest and realistic 🤓

[@mariamar2114]

It's true!!!

[@pacopeso8474]

Living in Chiapas and then moving to Queretaro the cost of food is more expensive. The quality of life in Queretaro is about the best in the whole country.

[@alex-wittman]

Thanks for watching & sharing your experience living in Chiapas, Paco! It sounds like you think the higher prices is worth the quality of life here 🤓

[@pacopeso8474]

Chiapas is beautiful and has great people, but I tell my family it is the Mississippi of Mexico. Mostly agriculture and poor people.

[@alex-wittman]

@@pacopeso8474 I've heard it's one of the most beautiful states in Mexico! I'm really hoping to go later this year 🇲🇽

[@mariobruyere9169]

@@alex-wittman Paco is right in his assessment. It is beautiful and very diverse. San Cristobal is lovely (make sure you pack a few sweaters, nights are chilly high up in the mountains). Big temperature difference with Tuxtla Guttiérez just 60 km away (not a pretty city but the evenings in Plaza de la Marimba with music and dancing are great fun.) Give yourself a good 10 days or more to explore and relax instead of taking a whirlwind tour. Best way to travel is with the taxis colectivos. Not the most comfortable but the surest way to get past the roadblocks. Not sure if the situation is better now but in 2018 when I went it was a real issue

Consider Guanajuato on your bucket list if you haven't been. It's not far from Querétaro and just as beautiful. Oaxaca City is lovely with plenty to see around.

[@HuatulcoGuy]

Your estimate works out to approx. $380 Canadian dollars per month per person, after I did the conversion. I spend approx $600 per month for food up here in Toronto now so it is much cheaper down where you guys are. Good to know!

[@brianpan6453]

The longer you live in a place, the more spots you will want to explore and eat out at. I bought 3 bags of groceries in Wegmans today and paid $145. It included toiletries for a month and dinners for 4 days. No alcohol or milk. Produce was limited to a lemon, lime and quart of fresh squeezed oj. $7.00 1 lb. coffee $8.99. 6 grilled shrimp $7.80. 6 rolls generic TP $ 5.49. I hate U.S. food prices. Great vid! 😃

[@alex-wittman]

Thanks for watching, Brian! One of the things I love about living in Mexico is all the fresh produce. I've been especially into guavas & figs lately 😁 yes, now that the city is opening up more & more, there are so many places I want to try. Several new restaurants have already popped up in our neighborhood!

[@RobertBadgett]

Brian...Just think about how much stronger you are now. Years ago, you weren't able to hold $145 worth of groceries. Now it's easy! You might have trouble holding it in Mexico.

[@marycoyne1889]

Great video, thank you! I"ve been in Queretaro for a week and feel like even with getting at least one drink out almost every day I am spending so little. it's really amazing. I ordered wine and beer from Rappi, which was fast, easy, and super affordable.

[@sophiemarcaurele]

Wow how gorgeous are you in royal blue! 😍 Thank you very much for all the details! I’m surprised a bit to hear that it sound a tad more expensive than what I found in Mérida. Still much more affordable than Canada or Europe! 🤔🤗 I very much enjoy seeing the different scenes when you’re out and about. Querétaro is on my short list to explore when my country finally lifts the flight bans... can’t wait!! 🤗🌮🌮🌮🌮 🇲🇽

[@alex-wittman]

Thanks for watching, Sophie! You could certainly spend less living in Mexico. Taylor & I might even try to cut back on our Uber Eats 😅 One of my friends from Merida said the supermarket and mercado prices are comparable in the two cities. I'm glad you found this video about cost of living in Mexico helpful! 🤓

[@alex-wittman]

Safe travels to both of you!

[@1supamonsta]

Mercado La Curz is the most expensive in Queretaro. Supermarkets have specific days during the week when they lower their prices on produce. Walmart on Tuesdays and La Comer on Wednesdays. Their prices are cheaper than any market in the city.

[@alex-wittman]

I don't know if this is real or just perceived, but I feel like the quality of the produce at Mercado La Cruz is higher.

[@DDIII3]

Alex, tank you for including all the costs. I can see where a couple of adjustments would result in substantial savings, even though I also agree that what you're spending now, is already a sizeable reduction compared to costs in the US. You always make everything so easy to follow. I mean that in a good way (in case any trolls are reading this). :)

[@alex-wittman]

The cost of living in Mexico is a phrase as ambiguous as The Cost of Living in the US. It's obviously not the same to live in Alabama or Beverly Hills. Even within Querérato, you can live on Social Security or you can have the lifestyle of any dirty judge of New England. There's everything for everyone.

[@dejadeusarmicuenta6159]

I lived in Queretaro for a few years and All I can say it's that if you have the option to live there like you are... it's probably one if not the best places to be in Mexico. since it's really beautiful. there are many cultures but Mexican does not get diminished. unfortunately for me (being Mexican), I couldn't find a job that helped me afford life there. but great video.

It's definitely one of the more expensive cities in Mexico. I feel very fortunate to live here.

[@dejadeusarmicuenta6159]

​@@alex-wittman thanks for replying. btw when you have a chance try going to the Mercado de abastos if you can. you can get the best prices for market essentials. and if you like it maybe even make a video about it.

$3,773 pesos is what a regular Mexican family spends in groceries for 2 months, for around 6 people. Saying this because if you cook your own meals and buy groceries instead of pre-made food you can save a TON of money.

You are right, Querétaro certainly not the cheapest. In terms of groceries, I found SMA the most expensive (the one supermarket, La Comer I think, got me saying "What?") so I mostly shopped at the mercados and the Tianguis de los Martes. Cheapest were in Chiapas and Oaxaca (the latter's markets are just incredible!) Guanajuato a bit less expensive than Querétaro. Guadalajara on the more expensive side. What is your ranking based on the places you've been?

Hi Rebecca...helpful.info in food. Are the rents lower outside of the city center? Do all rentals require that insurance policy in lieu of security deposits?

[@alex-wittman]

I'm not sure if this question was for me or another user! Rent varies from neighborhood to neighborhood & isn't necessarily tied to proximity to the city center. Some landlords are now accepting a background check in place of a guarantor, but you will likely still need to put down a security deposit.

"Expensive" items are avocado, walnuts, almonds, honey and meat. My usual shopping is less than 200 pesos for bags of produce.
