More good info I didn't know. Thanks, Mike. I've heard of PROFECO but didn't know too much about it. I remember about 2 years ago reading how somebody advertised big screen TVs for a certain price and by mistake left off a zero or two. They were forced to sell them at the low low price until they could turn it around. There was a photo of shoppers in line going oh yeah....

I can see using PROFECO to find the cheapest deal in town on a planned purchase. What a great service! Or even just figure out who HAS something specific I want to buy, like beach chairs, etc. In the US I’ll often have to go to multiple stores to price shop, and I have found prices to vary by as much as 50%! Wish we had this!

but ... but ... I want Batman to come help me! Again, thank you for this new-to-me information. I almost want the next restaurant I visit across the Rio Grande to over charge me... No, not really. What do you have to say about the custom of haggling over prices at open markets, tianguis and other places? I am not hard-wired to do it and I wonder of I offend vendors.
