Where to buy U.S. food products for cheap! (Bogotá)

Hello Internations Community!

A new Costco like store (for my non American friends, Costco is a buy in bulk U.S. Store) has just opened in Bogotá! It's called PriceSmart and it's located on la Boyaca con 26. For those of you, who like me, get exited about good deals on food shopping this is the place for you! There's tons of American products (I'll write a list below of some of the products I saw). You have to pay a membership to be able to shop there. The membership cost 64.000 COP but it gives you two membership cards. So you and a friend can split the membership and only play 32.500 COP each.

The store officially opened today and there were lots of people. But the deals are worth it. I found great deal on cereal (honey bunches of oats!), tuna, juice, skinless chicken fillets, etc. I really loved it because I found a lot of U.S. products I missed or that otherwise are really expensive to buy at Exito or Jumbo.

Hope this helps some of you!
