Early Reviews on new Supermarket Chadruai

About the same as Soriana.

BIG WARNING!!!! The floors are incredibly slippery.

Just wondering what are the early comments on the new store vs. Soriano’s, Mega Bodega or Sam’s .
I know the markets have the best value for produce , meats etc but still wondering how this store compares ( price, selection and freshness).
Thanks

Not a Sam's member so can't speak to that.

Since we are here for 6 months of the year, we tend to cook and bake more at home.

Prices at Chedruai are similar to Soriana. Selection is better at Chedruai and the store is better organized. Unlike Soriana, there are plenty of cashiers at Chedruai.

Bodega Aurrera is cheaper, not fancy and my go-to store for stocking up on pantry items. Merza is the cheapest. It's aisles are narrow and crowded but I can usually find basic necessities (shelf stable milk, sugar, flour, etc.).

I buy all meats and produce at, or around, the mercado. Panaderia La Boquita has wonderful fresh postres that are often still warm from the oven.

We found that you cannot get a bag of ice like you can at Soriana. Bummer. Also thought the layout and organization of the store was suboptimal, but maybe that’s just ‘cuz it was unfamiliar to us.

In the back between produce and meat there is a grilled/charred veggie place. Walked by it several times, this time bought a package of eggplant. A whole eggplant, perfectly thickly sliced, charred. LIke what we do when it goes perfectly. FABULOUS and only 19 pesitos!!!!

Give their things a try.
