We at We Deliver Cancun want to welcome you to our new page and new concept. We saw a need here in Cancun and decided to fill it. I’ve been here 16 years after giving up everything in Canada and moving to this little corner of paradise. It’s been fun and challenging.
I do most of my grocery shopping at Wal Mart but have several other stores I visit to get everything I need. I’ve had to make many changes in my selections as the products are not the same as in Canada. More and more stores are carrying brand name items from Canada and the US but they come and go. I’ve learned to adapt and what products are the most similar. When I first went back home I had a list 3 pages long of items to bring back. Now I return list free.
I see tourists in Wal Mart every time I’m there. They know the store name and so feel comfortable coming there to shop. But I also see confused faces and hear exasperated sighs. I’ve been approached many times for advice. I see people who have been dragged off the beach or golf course looking like they are getting dental surgery without anesthetic. Mostly the men I must admit. They would rather be just about anywhere but there. So why not let them be?
How easy it would be to have someone do the shopping for you. No need to speak Spanish (or more likely Spanglish), convert currencies, search unfamiliar shelves for unfamiliar products, and lose valuable vacation time in a grocery store. Doesn’t make for the most exciting vacation photos either. Look mom, canned soup!
So we put together a list of what we thought would be the most needed food, personal items and fun stuff (alcohol) and are offering that to travelers who will be making their own meals while here. The condos and timeshares have all the appliances, cookware, dishes and flatware needed. Just the food is missing and that takes time to get.
How much easier to sit at home on your computer and shop. Then when you arrive the groceries are delivered to you. Just unpack, sign for them and off to sip margaritas on the beach! Sounds good to me – maybe I’ll join you.
