Mexican families are looking to spend as little as possible when buying their weekly or biweekly groceries, which is why the head of the Federal Consumer Agency (PROFECO), Ricardo Sheffield Padilla reveals every week which supermarkets have the highest and lowest prices in the country.

On his update on Monday, April 3, supermarket Soriana Híper located inside the facilities of Plaza Río Tijuana was rated as one of the most expensive supermarkets in the country’s Northern Zone (Baja California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, and Sonora).

This supermarket appeared on this list as it offers its basic basket at a price of $976.30 pesos. On the other hand, supermarket Calimax located at Blvd. Cuauhtémoc 1290, Colonia Zona Río, appeared as one of the most affordable supermarkets, as it offers the same basic basket at a price of $892.80 pesos.
