For the past 4 years the dollar has always been pretty steady against the Mexican peso. Usually about 1 to 11.15 For those easily lost with money exchange we would get 11.15 pesos to 1US dollar So that made living pretty nice without being over board on the exchange. Not long ago I think it was april that started to slip and we went as low as 1 US Dollar to 9.5 at it's lowest. Now the cost of living was on average with in the US for the most part.
When the dollar started to rise we expected it to settle at about 11 to 11.50. But it hit 12 and then 13 and right now is hovering about 13.80 which means that things are cheap. VERY cheap. We pulled 3800 pesos from the atm the other day and it cost us 300$. Now, the prices are starting to go up. Milk went from 5.50$ per gallon to 6.10 again, and the price of Shelf milk went from 12.50 a case to 13.50 a case. Milk has hit the federal cap and I dont think it can go much higher without Government approval. But other things are going up as well, and they have no federal caps. Like Beef. up 2$ per kilo.
Cooking oil is up 2$ per 3 Liter pack
