Buen Fin!!! Great Shopping!!

I wasn`t aware Buen Fin was government sponsored, as you say. Are you sure? Which government?

Yes, it is an initiative by business leaders in association with the government that began during the last years of the Calderón administration. It started off slow but has gained momentum through the years. Its obvious purpose being to stimulate the economy before the holiday season. But it has an important secondary and uniquely Mexican function as well: to increase the cash flow in businesses so that they have money to pay the aguinaldos of their employees. Now you know.
