We see, yes DAC has a good variety of those items, also there is a new store called: Chedraui Selecto with a wider option you might want to check it is located at the 10av across to the local soccer stadium 🏟️ Mario Villanueva
Hola Oshrie 🤗🤗 Wow that's amazing, are you guys enjoying PDC so far? 🤩 Thank you very much for comment we really appreciate your support watching our videos, and we hope the videos have been helpful for you to plan your this trip. Enjoy PDC 🏝🇲🇽

How have you liked living here so far? Yeah there are some items quite hard to get it here and if you get it can be pricey. If you have any questions or suggestions of your experience living here do not hesitate to share with us, so we might create a video and sharing to help others 🤗🇲🇽
First, I absolutely love all your videos! Your wedding video made me cry 😭 tears of joy! That being said… My husband & I pay $1700 dollars here in Colorado for a two bed two bath apartment. It is so expensive here! Electric $100 typically, Internet $106.00, gas $30.00, car insurance $290.00 for two cars, car payments $514.00, and my husband pay a different amount for his. Not getting into groceries with inflation in the U.S being so high and corporations constantly doing every shady thing in the world to make more profits. We think about moving one day perhaps, just scared of the unknown

You guys are awesome I’m glad i found your channel. My husband and I are planning to move to playa next year. Currently our mortgage alone here in Seattle Wa is $3600 a month. Look forward to learning more from you two!
Hey Carmen 🤗🤗 amazing, I’m sure you guys are looking forward to it 🌴🇲🇽 it’s pretty nice to live a bit of a slower paced life in a tropical climate 🤩 oh my goodness, $3600 is heavy, I’m pretty sure you’d pay a lot less than that, even if you wanted to live in the exclusive neighborhood of Playacar 🙌🏼 thank you so much Carmen, we’ve got lots more to come ☺️ Enjoy the rest of your Sunday 🤗
Very interesting and thorough video! I definitely found PDC quite expensive when I lived there. I am currently based in Bangkok, Thailand. I pay the equivalent of 7,500 Mexican Peso for a small, clean apartment in the heart of the city with a pool, gym, laundry, security, reception etc. I spend about another 8,000 on food, drinks, transport, utility bills, phone/internet etc. Travel to other parts the country and flights to other countries in the region are pretty cheap too. Very safe place also. Locals are really friendly and helpful too - as they were in Mexico. Food is great and the weather is usually good. All in all, a good place to be a digital nomad.
Thank you, we're so happy to know you enjoyed it 🙌😊 When were you living here? Geovanny's family moved here in 2006 and he always said how prices just shot up as Playa became more and more of a tourist hotspot 👀 We so look forward to one day relocating to a quieter, more authentic town/city in Mexico 🙌🇲🇽 $7500 is not bad at all for all you get - especially the laundry, pool and gym 🤩 That's not bad for all your additional expenses either. Do you find that you go out often, or are you more of a homebody like Geovanny and I?😊 Thailand has always been on our radar to visit, and we have a friend who lived there for quite some time and said that the look and feel of Playa reminded her a lot of Bangkok 🤩🙌 I think that one of the major benefits you have living in Thailand over Mexico is that Playa has seen a major spike in crime in recent years 🫣 We feel totally safe, but I think you rest easier at night when you know that crime rates are low 🙌 Thank you so much for watching!
@@ForTheRoadTravels I was living in PDC a couple of years ago. I will hopefully be back there early next year. Not a fan of Tulum either btw! Might try one of the regions you suggested in the video. I don't go out drinking that much either. That would definitely raise my expenditure a lot. 😅 I am sure you will definitely enjoy Thailand. It certainly has lots of things in common with parts of Mexico. The people are generally really friendly in both - especially if you speak a bit of the local language. That certainly helps break down any barriers.
@@pathkris2984 Like $600🇺🇸 per month. Rent, internet, utilities= $280 a month and I live centrally in Bangkok. Good location. I am obviously not spending a lot on beer, fast food and gym etc - but I live close to a large park and can exercise for free. I cook at home, lots of cheap market places to buy meat, veg, rice etc. You can spend more and have a few more luxuries but I can live happily on a budget and save money in the process.
We actually don’t have health insurance 🫣 we know that we absolutely should and we’ve been doing our research on what plan would be best for us. So far, I (Simone) have just gone to a regular GP once and it only cost 50 pesos for my consultation, which is WAY more affordable than my experience of medical expenses in South Africa 🙌🏼👀 we’d be interested to know what kind of medical plans people are on here - we’re going to have to do some investigation 🥲🤔🙌🏼 thank you for watching, sending you a hug from PDC 🤗🇲🇽
This was a great video, we got a real insight as to how much it actually cost to live in Playa. $900 a month is not bad at all, it's a pretty good price actually. We love how your location changes as the video progresses while talking about one category. We're in Skopje, North Macedonia right now and we paid $541 for 3 weeks for this AirBnb. I think for the month it would've been like $620.
Hi friends 🤗🤗 Ah, you're in Skopje?? Two of my favorite friends I've ever made are both from there! Haha, I don't know if it was just them or a Macedonian thing, but they love to call people they don't like 'donkeys' which always made me laugh 🫣😅😂 Are you guys liking it there? So that works out to less that US$30 per night, which is not bad at all! I think around the time you guys were here, Airbnbs were around that but we've noticed in the last 6 months the cheapest airbnbs in places like Tulum, Playa and Isla Mujeres have shot up to around US$50 per night 🫣 Thank you so much for your sweet comment, we're really glad to know you enjoyed the video 🤩🙌 Ya, keeping our living expenses under US$1000 per month has really helped us live off our savings while building up some new streams of income 🙏 The fact that we pay so little for our house has really saved us 🙏🙏 We hope you guys are keeping healthy and happy and we're sending you both a big hug 🤗🤗
Hola Luis 🙌 Gracias por ver nuestro video y por tu comentario 🙏 Si, sabemos que Cozumel es incluso más caro que PDC, por el hecho que un gran porcentaje de lo que se consume viene de importado (nacional) de otros estados y es allí donde los precios se disparan, sin duda Cozumel es muy hermoso, pero si es caro vivir allá.

Yeah, even more and this area of Mexico is one of the most expensive among the country, prices can be even 20-30 cheaper in non touristy areas 😯😱. Thank you for watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hey Damon 😊😊 We lived in The Cayman islands - and we didn't even mention that we shared with two other roommates too 🫣👀 that island was crazy expensive. Thank you so much for watching, we're really glad you enjoyed the video!🤩
I thought for sure it was gonna add up to more than $900. 😂 Its a comfortable life for sure! Our home base is Salt Lake City, Utah. 1bd 1 bath rentals are usually about $750-$1000. Great videos and insights!

We agree, for less than US$1000, we really are very fortunate for the lifestyle we have 🙌🙏 Awesome, are you guys into winter sports?

Sayulita on the other hand.. Or P.V...!! 👍🏼 👍🏼
@@HoffaJedi We've never been on those places, but we'd heard about and are in our bucket list to visit, perhaps moving there one day 🤭🤩. Thank you Derrick for your comment. Saludos from PDC 🏝🇲🇽
What country did you live before where you paid $1200? Love the video especially the quick exercise clip.
Hey Damon 😊😊 We lived in The Cayman islands - and we didn't even mention that we shared with two other roommates too 🫣👀 that island was crazy expensive. Thank you so much for watching, we're really glad you enjoyed the video!🤩
I thought for sure it was gonna add up to more than $900. 😂 Its a comfortable life for sure! Our home base is Salt Lake City, Utah. 1bd 1 bath rentals are usually about $750-$1000. Great videos and insights!
Hey Zach 😊😊😊 Haha, when we were doing the averaging out of this years expenses I had the same thought! We agree, for less than US$1000, we really are very fortunate for the lifestyle we have 🙌🙏 Awesome, are you guys into winter sports? Ok $750-1000 seems pretty reasonable for the US 🙌 Thank you so much, we're so glad you enjoyed this one 🤩 Sending you a hug 😊
