Black Friday in Cancun...Sorta

Now that hubby and I are on the lookout for all things baby, we are also looking at prices. Things in Cancun are much more expensive than they are north of the border. Hate to say it, but the quality isn't always there either.

Most of our friends usually take a few trips a year to Florida and do their shopping there. They buy in bulk, and take full advantage of the better prices. Hubby and I were thinking about going for Black Friday, but I've been told not to fly that much right now. A few pregnancy complications that I can get into another time.

Anyways, we were at Paseo Cancun last week and look what we found? Sales, real sales!!! Paseo Cancun is considered an outlet mall here in Cancun. Don't get too excited, it's not a real outlet mall if you ask me. However, better than nada!!





Now these prices may look a little expensive, and they are however it was take an additional 50% off the last price!!! Now that is a deal.... At least here in Cancun it is. We didn't end up buying anything...We are just 20 weeks pregnant now, and don't want to jinx ourselves. We will wait until some time in the new year. However, we still like to look. Baby things are just toooo cute. 

Did you find any Black Friday deals?!

Oh my gosh those are EXPENSIVE at regular price!! How do new parents afford the stroller, the car seat, the crib??? :S

Also I agree, Paseo Cancun isn't a real outlet mall but it does have some ok deals. I love the Nike store.

Kay - I like the way you think my friend!! LOL!!

Laura - I know, right?? SOOOO expensive, and the quality isn't great. It's not like these are higher name brands. Just your regular stuff that would cost a couple hundred back home!!

The Nike store is pretty good. Gill just bought some tennis shoes for $500 pesos. About 50% off!!

Ay no, do not pay those prices! I would rather get you a car seat and ship it to you from this side of the border - you will still save TONS even with shipping costs. When are you due? (Yeah, math and my mommy brain - dont mix) we make a trip back in March.

I agree, baby stuff is RIDICULOUS here. Now I dont judge as much when I see babes out of car seats (not that I condone it either) . I saw a regular Graco carseat the other day (the bucket baby kind) that was 20,000 pesos! The same thing costs like 75 bucks in the states!

Mami - I know, right. Crazy prices!!! I'm due mid-March, and I'm thinking of starting to buy things after Christmas. Hoping for some big sales...LOL!!! I'll let you know if I may need something shipped!! That would be awesome, gracias amiga!!!

See....Graco isn't even a "posh" baby brand and for $20,000 pesos. Just crazy!!
