Hello, we are coming to Zihua in a week for another month in paradise. What is the best place to shop for grocery between Soriana and Chedraoui? I mean quality, choice,etc. Thanks in advance

Hello
Quite similar offer, prices will differ specifically on certain items, for example Greec yogourt is a lot cheaper at Chedraui. Chedraui also had 25% discounts on wine and liquors 2-3 days before Soriana did.
We get most if not all of fruits and vegetables and fish around the market so I can't really comment on this.
They are next to each other, I'd suggest you visit them both one day with your own grocery list and favorites for you to be able to compare.
The best thing I've noted it that Soriana has been adding cashiers since Chedraui opened. Last year they only had 2-3 opened to push customers to use selfcashier. But it's not easy when you've got a full cart with 40-50 items.

Great feedback….which store has the best variety, selection of meats and produce… does Chedraoui have more selection of U.S./ Canadian brands. Understand Markets still have great meat and produce items but when you First arrive do not want to spend days shopping . We also don’t mind Bodega as prices are better… let’s ,face it Sam’s and Soriano are priced and mostly for tourists.

Soriana has self check and horribly long lines. Chedraui does not have self check. Chedraui has extremely slippery floors. Have gone four times and twice walked out empty handed because the lines were so long.
Stock seems to be about the same.

Other than fresh stuff, we shop at Bodega Aurerra.

Chedraui wins for me. Very wide isles, helpful staff, clean, bright, fresh veggies, short checkout lines with 8 cashiers, and beautiful mountain view when leaving the store.

I have not put one foot into that other place for nearly two years and will never again... I live here full time.

I get the comfort of being able to shop in a big North American type store all at once.

In reality, get your fish from the Paseo Pescador, Veg & meat in the municipal market. And all the other stuff in Bodega A.

But, I live on a local budget.

Still, anyone who buys fish in the supermarket should be sent back to where they came from.

EDIT: And try to buy local stuff, even Mexican brands. After all, it's a nice part of being away from home!

I second that there is more American brands available. Like any other store, it may not be everyone's one stop shopping.

However, that Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce is a BIG PLUS!!! B-)

I bought a Weber grill last year at Sorriana, but they only have Heinz Barbecue sauce occasionally. With Sweet Baby Ray's, I'm a convert. Do they have Sargento sliced cheese also? I'll probably shop at both on occasion.
