As always we take you on our journey in Mexico and today we showing our process of shopping for and Buying furniture in Merida, Mexico for our new home! We share the in's and outs and of course pricing. These are just a few of the options available but it does take work to narrow down "quality" pieces of furniture. And a buyer tip, if you want quality expect to pay "quality" prices that are well above what you might expect. We shopped at both American and Mexican based stores and we recommend you do some research and some foot work as well and shop in as many stores as you can to get what you want. 0:00 Intro 0:15 Moving into an unfurnished home 1: 02 Sears 1:45 Furniture 3:41 Appliances 4:36 Muebles Dico 5:34 Steren (Electronics) 6:11 Walmart 6:39 Matriomonial = Full/Double 7:39 Refrigerator/Refrigerador 8:42 Washing Machine/Lavadora Subscribe to follow us on our journey and for the latest tips for living abroad. ► OUR LINKS: The Blog- https://www.wanderingsoup.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WanderingSoup Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wandering_soup Travel T's: https://tinyurl.com/y47m72y5 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/wanderingsoup ► SUPPORT Want to Support?- https://www.buymeacoffee.com/WanderingSoup ► WHO WE ARE: Wandering Soup is the home for Kat, Amber and our family.
