Chedraui - another choice for consumers

[DonJuane]

I agree. The merge of Mega with Soriana created a new word in our vocabulary, "Soriana-ized" to mean a step down in the quality, sort of a like a Bodega Aurrera selling lower quality items than it's parent Walmart, if that's even possible. When Mega got bought out by Soriana, Mega became "Soriana-ized" (copyright MS).

I can't remember the last time I was in Chedraui but I think it was San Cristobal and they did stock Dr. Pepper from what I can remember where no one else did. Not sure about the gourmet section but I'll keep hope.

It's too bad that none of the markets that offer the small center isle of gourmet items ever confer with people who buy from that section. It seems for the most part that their corporate buyers just "don't get it" as to what can be placed here that gourmet cooks are looking for. On the other hand if anyone wants a real treat along with a reason to pretend you are still salaried and successful, head to City Market in Queretaro, a market that totally understands the higher end food buyer market and their lack of a budget to boot.

Still I seldom go to a supermarket these days since the Baratillo has such good vegetables and refrigerated chickens now. I do go on week-long horseradish searches from time to time and hit the big markets at least once a month for soft drink runs. Hoss and the cowboys at Bonanza SMdA always come through in a pinch.
