buying more issue. lol lol. i have heard that so often that when i did make it to mexico the last couple times i was disappointed that this was no way correct. (has nothing to do with the op). we went to akumal a couple times recently and i was surprised how the dolar didnt go further. at first thought because of tourist area, but second visit we went outside of tourist area to grocery stores and bummed cause it really made me wonder how the citizens survived on their pay.
but with all these posts (though many not thru direct experience) i do feel more comfortable. i can handle a major city. i dont want an out of control environment.
