🏡 Mexico Living Tip

Budgeting Smart in Mexico

Daily life can be extremely affordable if you shop like a local:

Buy produce at mercados instead of supermarkets
Use refill stations for staples like grains, soap, and water
Choose comidas corridas for full meals at low cost

These habits can reduce your monthly expenses by 30–40%.

🚕 Transportation Tip

Ride-sharing apps (Uber, Didi) are great, but for short distances:

Sitio taxis (official taxi stands) are safe, regulated, and often just as affordable
Avoid street-hailed taxis
If no meter is used, confirm the price before getting in
