I know that Walmart is new there. I am wondering if anyone knows is they sell gift cards there. If so...I am wondering if GIFT CARDS ARE interchangeable between the Walmart here in CA and the WALMART there......I would like to buy a few gifts cards here and bring them to some people there....Does that make sense? Can anyone tell me if they know if the new walmart sells gift cards there?

Do they have vanilla Ice Cream in gallons or 1/2 gallons?

The WalMart does have gift cards. I am buying a bunch for my staff. They are good at Sams, VIPs, and a couple of other WalMart holdings. I do not know if they are tranferable to the US.

FWIW, it's a great time to shop at Chedraui. The aisles were uncrowded, the selection was good (found several things I used to have to go to Cancun's Walmart for!) and I zipped through in no time. Before I had even stopped to decide what checkout to use, I was personally escorted to an open one. In fact, MOST of them were empty! I also went to Sam's yesterday and thought their normal crowd was reduced... didn't have to wait on a cash register there either. I'll check out Walmart at 7 am or midnight some day, when the crowds are gone.

Yes. Haagen Daaz has pints. Borden and Nestle have half gallons.

Yes this a good point. When Sam's came to town Chedraui improved. I'm expecting another step up in service level now that we have Wal-Mart. I'll still be trying to simply stop and Chedraui when I'm staying in Playacar.

I did price compare only one item (just purchased at Chedraui and so I knew the price) and Chedraui was about 10% cheaper for that one item.

Susie, I have all the answers for you, it seems.

The answer to this question is: YES. They have a small paint section, and I believe I saw a paint color station.

Thanks a Bunch

Ok, I saw J&J baby shampoo, but not the other stuff and not Pampers. Even if they did have this stuff, I'd recommend you bringing your own anyway, since they might not have it in stock when you got here. If your son has to use these products for his sensitive skin, you don't want to play the in-stock gamble game.

Shopped at Wal-Mart for the first time last night, did fairly well and didn't overspend too ridiculously. I was a little dismayed (but not surprised) to find that already the store is starting to look a little worse for the wear: makeup packages opened and tested and not replaced in correct spots, depleted stock, discarded items left in improper places. Why does that stuff make me so mad?

The lines were manageable because they had so many cashiers open, but they really have to do something about the clusterf**k that forms when you exit the produce section and head toward the check out. You have to go back into the store and around to be able to access any open lines.

I felt really sorry for all the workers. Every single person I saw had red-rimmed eyes and looked just exhausted. After only an hour in there, I felt pretty beat myself.
