There's a discount store in Mexico called Tiendas 3B that often has some great deals, and we learned recently that they have a boxed red wine that is quite good.
So when we were in the store yesterday, we picked up a box. It's a wine from Argentina. It's in a one liter tetra pack style box and it costs 60 pesos ($4.70 CAD, $3.45 USD). And remember, that's for a full liter when most wine bottles are only 750 ml.
Anyhow, we carried on to the Soriana which is a larger grocery store chain. They often have some good deals on wine and liquor, and yesterday they had a special... buy 3 for the price of 2. They now also have a new boxed wine, also from Argentina. This one we haven't tried before, and it's priced at 69 pesos per liter. But of course you get 3 for 2, so if you buy three, they become 46 pesos ($3.60 CAD, $2.65 USD) per liter!
Well, we couldn't turn that down!
A box of cardboardeaux!
We joke and call it "cardboardeaux". We haven't tried the one on the left yet, but we expect that it's perfectly drinkable wine.
Then later in the day, we were doing an online order with Amazon and they had pages of grocery items that if you bought a minimum of 10 items you would get another 10% off. We were browsing through some of the stuff, and it turns out that Amazon Mexico does wine as well.
We have been buying this wine in Mexico for many years.
But it's been steadily going up in price. It's now around 79 pesos and they've dropped the size from 1 liter to 946 ml. But Amazon was having a sale, at 51 pesos. We haven't seen it that cheap for a long time! And their white was also on sale... so we bought four of each! And, they were another 10% off, so only 46 pesos each!
So we are well stocked up on wine. They last forever so for that price it was worth it to stock up.

Nice price drop on the latest version of the Echo Dot Smart Speaker.
And in Canada...
Excellent ! While you were in Cuenca what did you think of the wine there ?
ReplyDeleteWe actually only bought one or two bottles of wine when we were in Cuenca and I don't think they were Eucadorian wines and I think the prices were ok, definitely cheaper than back home in Canada but not by a lot if I remember correctly.
