How expensive are groceries there?
Most stuff is fairly cheap, save western stuff and beff is a bit spendy. They don't slaughter cows in mass like the US. When they die of old age, that's when they become food. So steaks are a bit more tough in texture than American steaks.
Examples
A kilo of chicken breast is 190 peso or $2 and some change
A 12oz bottle of beer is roughly $1 usd
Lunch size bag of potato chips less than $1 usd
A kilo of ground beef 450 peso or $4 and some change USD
McDonald's quarter pounder meal is 250 peso or $5 usd
McDonald's big breakfast is 170 peso or $3 and some change
That‘s crazy! i pay nearly that much to fill up my truck with gas!

That looks quite nice, like someplace I'd love to rent on a vacation. Is it a duplex or would you have both sides?
Just one side. But for $122 rent, I can deal with a duplex.
We are still looking around. May find a single dwelling house by time we move. But so far this is top of the list.
She must be over the moon, at least my sister was when my father bought her a washing machine.
