Chedraui Grocery Store – Lottery Ticket Scam


My husband and I recently went grocery shopping at Chedraui Grocery Store, in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico (they have several locations, but I am only speaking of the location in Puerto Aventuras).  We have shopped there for several years, and for as long as we can remember, the cashiers have always attempted to sell us lottery tickets.

HEADSETS - by Jelly Comb

Our experience living in Mexico in an apartment/condo environment is that sound travels between units quite easily.  We sometimes hear our neighbor’s television, so we assume they may hear ours.  Our solution is to use headsets, so our neighbors are not disturbed.  It can also help if your neighbors play loud music, speak loudly, etc. since headsets helps block out the sound.

Grocery Shopping Tips in Mexico

A friend of mine went grocery shopping recently at Chedraui in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico. While shopping, she sent me a frantic text message saying she could not find cornstarch.  In addition, she said she didn’t feel comfortable asking anyone at the store for assistance because she didn’t speak Spanish.

Chez Waffle Restaurant – Puerto Aventuras, Mexico


“ALL HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON A LEISURELY BREAKFAST.”  John Gunther

If you are interested in a leisurely yet delicious breakfast, I would recommend giving Chez Waffle a try.  It’s a wonderful little gem and although it’s not located near the other restaurants at the marina, it is well worth your effort to get-up-and-go!  They are open Tuesday to Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and are located on Punta Matzoma Street #33.  Go pass the school and turn left, and go straight to the corner, then turn right.  Chez Waffle is on the right-hand side, almost near the end of the street.
