We stopped at the little store on the way out of Playa El Agua on 31 (we have had to Americanize the street names so 31 is really Avenue 31 De Julio).  We were following the normal list - snacks, meats, veggies, the whole thing. We had not spent a lot of time in the meat markets/departments...

I came to the section with cuts of meat that I actually recognized and saw these beautiful filet mignons. I saw the price and needed verification-yes, they were filet mignons.

The butcher (I need to devote a whole section  butchers) weighed it and wrapped it up for me.

I also got two packages of premium ground beef and a flank steak. The bacon  I had already purchased from another section.

Here is the run down of the pricing… you be the judge and tell me if I am missing something.

Based on a 2400 B’s per dollar exchange rate (which you can get almost everywhere and higher in other places).
