I'd be afraid to post our utility prices as I'm sure I'd have ten bloggers tell me they pay less, but it's still slightly cheaper than living NJ to live in Playa del Carmen. I think if you're coming from somewhere that's already cheap, say South Carolina, you're gonna pay more here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36412663.post-15043563907184211272008-06-11T22:48:00.000-06:002008-06-11T22:48:00.000-06:00Hi Nancy!Just wanted to tell you that I'm very sur...Hi Nancy!<BR/><BR/>Just wanted to tell you that I'm very surprise in how BIG your plants/garden are/is!!!

Most were as expensive, if not more so, than up north. But all of the fresh items were far less expensive. That appears to be the trick. Eat what is local and in season. It will mean breaking years of habit for me. And I will miss the Oregon cherries in July.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.com
