can you hear the drums Fernando I remember long ago another story night like this in the Fire Light Fernando you were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar I could hear the Distant Drums and sound of bule calls were coming from afar they were closer [Music] Fernando every hour every minute seemed to last eternally I was so afraid Fernando we were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die I am not ashamed to say the Roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry are you singing there was something in the air that night the star STS were bright Fernando they were shining there for you and me for Liberty Fernando though I never thought that we could lose there's no regret if I had to do the same again I would my friend Fernando [Music] hi guys welcome to Bell Barkin oh my gosh okay I'm coming to you from Cabo San Lucas Mexico and I have a 22 pesos store haul from for you all right so just if you happen to be stopping in on this channel you've never been here before me and my husband just moved to Cabo San Lucas I used to do Dollar Tree hauls and crafts and all that but they don't have Dollar Tree here H so anyway but what I did find was a 22 pesos store I'm gonna insert a picture of that and some film of it right here but they have a where are we at marus oh it's it's the Dollar Tree we found Dollar Tree and but it's not it's called 22 pesos but there's a lot of stuff like Star Wars St butterflies like it's completely different but the same in a weird way oh my gosh there's like some of this stuff looks so familiar look at that that's like Dollar Tree so those vases Dollar Tree so these glass things this one's really pretty love these little creamers here so much cool stuff those VES there's some big VES [Music] and bags those look familiar don't they so much like this looks so Dollar Tree look at these cute little jars lot of [Music] okay you get more in English we have [Music] Cinderella and then all this stuff over here coloring books and stuff maybe some art supplies for Amy I love this bag Snoopy look these mugs up here oh yeah Ling this stuff man you're so this is like I mean this is interesting how these sayings with look at these home signs a so definitely some fun craft stuff here I have to see what I can find look at all the Arts supp I know but not anything really that I need have but look at BIR yeah so just so much stuff it's a Dollar Tree but not these mugs and and the containers and everything pretty mugs actually nice they have like this the dog stuff look we have to get Jack's shirt for sure oh my gosh check out all the stuff wow it's a big dog section they got bandanas oh yeah we need some of those for the little Jack Jack has to get something from the Dollar Tree and there's like all these soaps containers and they have wipes this is 24 K gold eye mask oh Mr Clean sponges not Mr Clean but you know so cool so happy so this is really interesting this all this I love New York stuff in more than one spot in the store so it's like a big thing what's that elephants all this Falls that cute sign Welcome to our homeflow here there's some bath mats got more gnomes and marus some maybe those bathroom like all this fall stuff and this here this is so this is the store there's the front and if you go around so it's not super huge okay so it says total look it's called peos and so this is the outside of the store so not very big very Dollar Tree is though okay so you kind of get a good idea it's very similar products the Dollar Tree but not as big so like they don't have food they don't really have um like many um health and hygiene products so it's just more more like um you know some Decor oh Dro my iPad some Decor stuff and kitchen stuff anyway sort like what you saw okay so let's get going cuz I'm going to show you this haul just cuz I want you guys to see so first of all this is my receipt so 22 pesos um is $114 currently so the exchange rate pay changes so a dollar in Mexico the air conditioning is blowing blowing everything around okay so the dollar um the peso is $14 for 114 pesos for a dollar so this store is 22 pesos so on average it's going to be a do 14 $110 $120 just depends somewhere in there so but it never changes from 22 Paces I hope that makes sense okay so I spent um 492 pesos so right so 492 pesos in American dollars is I forgot to got to pick up the iPad okay so we do currency exchange rates all the time because it's super hard to sit keep track of it and until you like really learn it um you know you're double cheing yourself all the time so I've pretty much taken to understanding that um 20 pesos is a dollar of course this thing oh come on ready go so what I say my receipt was sorry guys wasn't super first first one here in in um first haul in Mexico okay so I'm going to do Spanish mexic I okay so it was where' It Go 4926 so I spent just to show you guys 255 all right okay so but when I'm shopping here my rule of thumb is basically 20 pesos is a dollar and I take everything and I go in half so if it's 500 pesos it's like $25 if it's 1,000 PES house that's like $50 right that's just a a quick easy way to to do it it's not exact because of course it's $144 14 114 pesos dollar okay so basically I spent $25 at this store which that's you know I'll go back but I just got to tell you this other thing oops sorry so they don't have you have to pay for bags in Mexico and so this I went in with my Dollar Tree bag so you bring your own shop bags if you live in California you've already experienced that California already has that but mostly the United States does not yet or certainly not Arizona does then I don't know maybe there's other places to do I know California but Mexico does too oh by the way I forgot to say so this is Walmart so this is a Walmart shopping center I will do a video of that shopping center at some point because I'm going to show you guys everything that we're experiencing here in Mexico um but that's for another video and so this store is like right across from the entrance to the Walmart plot a thing and um it's like an outdoor mall and there's the Walmart entrance I should explain that I will that's my radio it's my walkie talkie with Marcus hold on so this is just across the Breezeway and this is the store the 22 peso store which you just saw the pictures of okay let's move along so the walkie-talkie just so you guys know so Marcus lives lives Marcus this is me here we'll also do a video of our place but he's a block away and we brought walkie-talkies and so all day long we can walkie-talkie each other I'll turn it off right now because other stuff comes through I just don't remember to turn it back on all right let's dive in it's not a very big haul but I'm going to explain everything that we got so I here when we got here there's dishes in silverware but there was only like one coffee mug and um and we have people coming in November and of course blah blah blah anyway we brought with us our mugs that we got on our Alaska cruise and sale um and so these are the monks that we're using every day but I needed a few more and I'm at the Dollar Tree and they had these and I was like oh perfect I noticed one is damaged cuz you know how this goes it's got a little damage on it doesn't matter the reason I got these they're like galvanized tin is that right I don't know anyway um and this is I'll take them to the camp to Camping right when if we or I'll leave him here it doesn't matter I think I have to turn this one back in it's really damaged down there dang it or I'll put a plant in it anyway so I'll need to get another one so these are just um so the tags are all in Spanish just to give you guys an idea all right then we needed a cheese grater so I got this one so hogar hogar oh I got to remember this so working on my Spanish and H is silent in Spanish so this is actually Ogar if it is in fact a Spanish um word so it's uh then this is utens utensilios De coina so this is a kitchen utensil and we needed a cheese grater cuz we didn't have one so bought a cheese grater also I had some dish towels um but I need a few more this one is um not very big but behind me is the sink like this is when you see this is our cooking area back here and the sink is right there so so I just dry my dishes on a towel there was a dish drying thing when I got here but it was like yeah it takes up too much space anyway so this was a nice absorbent um towel so I was like and I just like the colors look okay so it's not very big um this is just like anything that we get at the Dollar Tree right but it's perfect for laying on the counter to dry dishes on and so this one is it says to to to if you said it in Spanish but anyway I don't know I'm working so hard on my Spanish you guys okay so I got a kitchen towel one kitchen towel then the other thing that we didn't have was a strainer so I know this isn't technically a strainer but it'll work fine I'm only making meals for Marcus and I which I will talk about some of our cooking in some of our upcoming ones for instance behind me right now is a whole pot full of pinto beans cuz I'm going to make our own reff fried beans fresh and I'm doing cooking everything fresh no processed foods so I really wouldn't buy any foods at the dollar store if they had them anyway because we're really not doing processed um Marx and I are on a journey we're both losing weight right now which is great and working out and stuff okay so we needed a strainer so I got this little one as opposed to getting a full strainer cuz I can just strain it right out of the pot or whatever if I were to ever cook any pasta which is very unlikely but steaming vegetables or boiling vegetables yes okay then there was absolutely no tupp Weare in here and as I'm cooking these Fresh Foods like the the refried beans and whatnot I have to have things to store them in so grab this which this totally reminds me of like the rubber in at the Dollar Tree um and this says it's made in Mexico in Via Lopez pora anyway so there's three of these little containers with lids for a114 so similar to the price that we're paying at Dollar Tree right and then this one is two so this is a thicker plastic whereas this is more like a disposable plastic right same thing just like we get at the Dollar Tree so this is Alis Alisa Alis Al Alisa so the alphabet and or the aows in um I'm going to give you a quick Spanish lesson the vowels in Spanish are a it's AE I O U just like us but they don't say that they say a a e o o a a e e o o so the big thing if you're American in speaking Spanish we we say the word Taco we go taco and we CL we round our lips so here they would say Taco there's no o at the end they Taco I probably just did it anyway so my biggest compliments that I've got here and is I went to get my nails done the other day which is another video I will talk I will do um and the girl there spoke English um and I was like speaking to Spanish practicing my Spanish she told me she said you enunciate so well most Americans mess it all up so like is taco and your V's aren't like V it's like you you close your lips but you don't V you do the inside so it's V like it's like a it's almost like a b okay enough Spanish for the day when I get really good I'll come on here and be like hola amigos really you know get it all down okay also there's not a whole lot of like mixing bowls or anything here there was two there wasn't one this size and if I'm going to make salsa and stuff this is certainly the size that I need for chopping that stuff in and at a buck 14 I started to say buck and a quarter at a buck 14 I really can't go wrong right so you can add some things in here these are not things we will probably take with us when we leave I don't know how long we're going to be here at least a year they would just stay here at the place they're running it's just for the convenience I dropped it of us while we live here and then this was another little container and I don't remember why I said I wanted this one but it was for something maybe it was for making um sauces and whatnot yeah I don't remember or maybe it was for his lunches but this is just a nice tall container with lid on it little Snap-on lid so and the final um like tupp Weare type thing is for what but of course for tortillas all right so as of yet I've have not made my own homemade tortillas holy buckets you guys tortillas now we know how expensive they are in the United States right for a 10pack of handmade Fresh Tortillas here it's like 97 pesos Which is less than a dollar no I mean not 97 it's 97 cents in pesos it was like 181 19 pesos or something like that so inexpensive but of course we're trying not to eat a bunch of tortillas because we're really trying to eat eat fresh fruits and vegetables and blah blah blah blah but occasionally like We'll add one in if we have a salad or something maybe a tortilla on the side as opposed to no bread we're just not doing bread tortillas are bread but anyway still we are having people coming so of course we'll have tacos when there's people visiting and so we'll need our little tortilla holder so grabbed one of those and I can use it for storing other stuff as well not just for tortillas I mean seriously okay the last thing I got in the kitchen area which I was like what so and this is so Dollar Tree looking and I would have bought this at a Dollar Tree in America for sure I think it's super cute first of all I'm absolutely in love with the color of this lid it's just like this beautiful sort of bronzy color and it's in English I think you saw in the video where there's a lot of stuff that was in English right so this I purchased because we keep getting centavos change right and so this is our going to be our Mexican change jar here in the kitchen and um I will talk about this in videos to come but you do a lot of tipping in Mexico and so the change is kind of important you want to have it um and so anyway so I got that little jar I thought it was super cute just very very Dollar Tree then they have a dog section so I did get a couple of doggy things so this is it came on this hanger I don't know like was there a match grownup shirt with it maybe at some point but this is a going take that off this is a little shirt for Jack and I'm going to put it on him he'll hate it he G hate it but that's okay we're going to put it on him anyway and it says I love rock and roll again not in Spanish right this is definitely in English now the one thing I will say about this particular store is we're in tourist SE Cabo San Lucas so this is a Walmart that gets visited by Gringo right so I think that there's some of that I don't think if I was in um a very well there probably wouldn't be Walmart in a heavy in an area that wasn't touristy to be honest even when we we did not stop the one that was in laa but that's also a very touristy area okay but anyway so said I love rock and roll then I got him this little Moscato so this is m m mcot mcot Mascota so this is a little you know bandana thing for him Jack and I take at least one walk a day we walk Daddy down his lunch every day um he's met a couple of other dogs along the way but um anyway I just thought this would be cute I didn't need it it's like it's like shopping at the Dollar Tree I didn't need it but I got it anyway okay and then this was less than than a dollar it was like so it wasn't 22 pesos it was like 17 pesos or it was 15 pesos which is where's my thing anyway 15 Paces would be like 75 cents is Right remember I was going half okay but it doesn't matter I was like just getting a toy for Jacks he's plays a lot with his toys but he has this one string one it used to be a kite then the string part came off and he loves it so I thought this would be a fun one to throw for him to go get because he loves to bite on the Rope so I got him that and it says fris FR frisbee con conera I don't know that me I didn't look all these up sorry and then the last thing I got him was a a retractable Lee because every day I have tried to put his um his harness on so I'm not pulling on his neck he hates it he just does not like it I don't think he likes the way it feels on him so I have to put a collar on him but I don't like I hate that just like I feel like I'm the worst dog owner in the whole wide world but I can't get into we the harness like he Lally lay down don't put that harness on me so it just doesn't feel good on his fur so um I thought okay so this would be a way I'm not pulling on him until he reaches you know I'm not so hopefully this will help a little bit um it says so another Spanish lesson when there's one R you do a flap core just one flap cord but when there's Double R is a So Korea this one is Korea can you see it there Korea retractable retract Korea retracto see how different the Arts are I'm here pretty good at it all right so got that for next now two things in household items that were just I mean I had so I Marcus was with me I need to go without Marcus because I'd probably be in there for two hours because it was as you saw it was so overloaded there was so much stuff and I was like I couldn't look through everything it was just like a Dollar Tree a really overstocked Dollar Tree so this is like a belt hanger um initially I got it for Marx's belt and then we ended up putting something up in the closet actually so now I'll probably use it for like tank tops cuz I also thought it would be really great for that if it works well I'll pick up another one or two because this would hold two four 6 8 10 11 tank tops right so nice and convenient for putting in the closet so I'm going to try that and then I got this little thing I just thought it was so cute it's so Dollar Tree look it's a little collapsible but we're going to open it up I don't even know what I'm going to use it for um possibly in the kitchen here cuz I have such limited space on the counter but okay so here's what it looks like we got two shelves this is like things that people make on Dollar Tree stuff all the time right all right so the shelves go in on this is oh is this right why are you not fitting oh cuz I think I have to go oh it's not going to fit on that one cuz it slides over okay so it has to go on the second one down because it slides into lock and you guys probably don't care about that cuz you can't even get this anyway and then this one same thing we're going to put it on the bottom and it slides into Lo slide in okay so yeah but it's supposed to sorry guys I'm looking at this thing going it's supposed to go on this yeah okay this one's wrong I'm going to show you here come out so there's little ridges here and it so it goes on the one where the little ridges are goes in and then it slides over and locks in so now it's it's more more it's not super stable but it's more stable um maybe like this could be like a good little oh this might be a good little makeup thing that's exactly what I'm going to use it for oh see I knew I'd come up with something um anyway sorry getting it to lock down now did we lock I think so yeah okay and then put this one on here hold hold hold hold hold hold go on you stinking thing it won't fit I understand this it doesn't really fit on this shelf very easily I mean I'm going to make it fit but definitely doesn't fit well so there we go come on lock in I'm just getting it together so I can show you okay so it's just like it's like putting something together from the Dollar Tree as well right it's like okay go in and on and and boom there we go there we go okay now it's pretty sturdy you guys once it's all together wow kind of impressed so I'm thinking I'll use it for like oh I put one shelf in backwards I'll fix it see there's a lip on the back of them when I put the lip on the front of this one so I'll fix it um but yeah I think I'll use it for some makeup supplies okay well I'm happy with that for a buck 14 I said a buck 25 didn't I a buck 14 okay now the last couple things that I have this is way longer than it should have been but there's a lot of talking cuz I'm in a new place the last thing that I have is just some home decor pieces and then two craft things all right so the first one is this this was so Dollar Tree looking as well it is a it's a cement little planter and I got this for my friend Karen is coming to visit she smokes so I'm going to put sand in this to make it an ashtray while she's here and then there's no hole in the bottom just you know know and then when she's gone I'll make a cute little planter or something out of it I don't know or little topiary I'm not sure okay and then I thought this was so stinking cute again so Dollar Tree isn't that like you're screaming I know it's so Dollar Tree and it's just so cute and little so I just got it for a little Decor piece here um and then this which I was like what check out this little number this little box I'm absolutely loving it I'm like like why didn't I get more I could have taken things apart put these together I would have had a doubt doesn't matter cuz I'm not I don't have space here to store craft supplies and um I didn't bring any craft supplies with me I literally just went to the store Marx took me to the art store that we found on Monday and I got canvases and acrylic paints and markers and a few canvas and um some mod podge and pencils and paint paint pencils markers canvases anyway um because I'm gonna start crafting and doing artart but this is so cool because this is literally all wood except for the bottom is like that that press board stuff super cool I mean I can make a cute little fall thing out of this I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet but the final thing that I bought I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do with so one of the big things here in Mexico in Cabo San Lucas where we are is trash there's like a lot of trash so their trash pickup is very limited and so you find trash everywhere and wherever there's construction because there's a lot of construction going on you find a lot of trash so I am going to start something new and I'm going to make crafts and art from trash so I started picking it up when we're on our walks and one of the things that I'm envisioning in my head is there are I'm going to show you actually there are so many pieces of random wire me find one I have a box down here that I'm throwing them in this is sort of my craft box down here okay well this is by the way at the end of this video I should insert this but I just put this contact paper um there was no backsplash and everything's built with concrete and so it just get it was it's nasty and greasy and so I wanted to um put something back there just to to not be greasy and gross so I bought some contact paper and put um it on back there I'll insert that right at the end okay so I can't really get the wire out but just this is like a heavy piece of wire there's so much of this and um like this piece like right here is all twisted and cool looking like I see half a spider there do you see it missing a leg but anyway so I've been picking this stuff up and what I want to do I'm not sure I'm going to do exactly but what I what I first thought was I wanted to make a Day of the Dead um what is it love I can't remember in Spanish I will um I wanted to make it D Day of the Dead um wire doll and so I grabbed this is the final thing that I bought at that store at the 22 peso store I grabbed these hair clips I meant to only get one each somehow I got two of the blue but it's okay because I just just thought these looked so like the right colors for doing hair on my Day of the Dead wired doll statue something anyway so I think that would be super cool I hope you guys can sort of Envision what I'm saying because there's just all this wire and so I'll make like a typical skirt and then a wire head a wire hands and then I'll actually give it a little Sombrero with some of this hair underneath probably braided with the big Ties on it anyway just little splashes of color on it so that's the vision wish me luck so where I'm really going as I'm down here is making art and um crafts out of recycling stuff this is a box that I just saved because we'll go into this too you have to have your water delivered well anyway it's a long story but I was like this a pretty well-made little box I could definitely do a little craft with this so I've just started saving my trash I feel like this would make a really good mummy see where I'm going I'm getting creative but and it'll be fun and there's no reason for me to create any more trash I might as well just use the trash so that's what I'm going to do all right and um another thing that I'm going to do is up above me if we go up there's like that little that crevice area up there it goes across there's nothing there but it's back lit and I was like how fun would it be to save by bottles and Mod Podge them with food coloring and put them all up there and have all these different colored bottles so that's going to be a project that I'll be doing anyway I have lots of ideas so um that's it for this one hold on while I insert what I did with the backsplash there so this is the backs Splash area and it's pretty dirty and catches grease from the stove and whatnot so I just bought some contact paper and we're going to cover this and so I'm going to remove the outlet covers where I can I don't know if that one just pops off there's no screws and try and put this up so here's your before then I'll show you the after I got both those off and now I'm going to clean the wall with my Dollar Tree arm and handmer essential disinfecting wipes so just to clean the surface before I put the first piece down so it measures it fits in here with just a little Gap at the top so I don't have to cut it except when I get to that corner I'll cut and I decided not to cut there because that's going to be more visual than this corner so if it's not perfect it'll be okay anyway so there we go going to clean next and then start applying my first piece so I got the contact paper up like a backsplash this is so perfect love love love it and so these walls are concrete cuz everything's like concrete so it went out pretty easily I popped off the things and put it around the outlets but here's my dilemma right here I'm hitting a corner and so if I rub on that it's going to lift up the paper just like right there right so I need to seal it and luckily I found some what some mod poch look at that M poch anyway it's mod po um matte and so I'm going to run some down this corner just to seal that in and I think that will work anyway I love this I'm not seeing greasy splatter on the paint now and I'll be able to clean it voila do you see how much better that looks I know and now I can clean it so it's really it's really nice very happy with that um and then um wait here's a little picture of Jack's jet he what is that on your back Jack you just won't move will you no he doesn't like his T-shirt says I love rock and roll I guess I won't take you to Cabo Wabo with that on huh Jack you can move you know hey we can you can walk you can move he's a statue he thinks he can't move with the shirt on and I think your chest is a little big for it Jack cracks huh okay well maybe we'll make you a oh oh you're walking he's like no I'm going to go get in my bed all right jack we'll take it off he hates it all right so that was my haul this is kind of a long video sorry you guys but as I get more used to doing this kind of stuff here and really um I I'll probably not talk as much but it's so fun to share with you all the things that are going on down here with us and on all the different things I can't wait to do um a video that of we're going to do a weekly video of experience of the week basically these are Mary Adventures marmy is Marcus and Amy put together marmy adventures in our experience of the week and we'll be doing videos like that and hopefully putting one out a week if not one every other week but my goal for this channel right now is to do a video a week all right and I got to change my logo cuz I'm not doing Dollar Tree anymore maybe she just be the 22 pesos or I don't know all right guys that's it everybody have a great day a great week a great life and as always from your singing crafty crafter um I don't remember what song I sang oh I just sang Fernando because it's a Spanish song a name I I'm making a list of of songs about Mexico but anyway um I can't even think of anything to sing about it now because I can't do Dollar Tree songs at the end all right everybody thank you so much for watching I love you all I miss you besties I miss all of my challenges in the crafting and the Dollar Tree stuff but we're on to a new adventure so we'll see you next time here
