I recently moved from Houston, Texas to Saltillo, Coahuila with little more than my wife and my dog.

All the advice l heard was to count on replacing what we needed once we arrived.

I'm appealing to those who have more experience here to guide me聽 to all the great bargains. The Walmarts, Home Depots and Office Depots are are exorbitantly more expensive here than in the USA. A plastic box to store bread in is 4 - 5 times more here. There is not a fly swatter to be found at any price. Even groceries are more costly, which really surprised me.

Even if I have to go without my needs met l am glad to be here, but l would sure appreciate some insight.
