I Got My Wife a Present at a Fake Costco in Mexico!
We went shopping at a Fake Costco in La Paz, Mexico called City Club. This store is an exact duplicate of a Costco, even down to the font on the signage inside. While we were there I found the holy grail of birthday presents for Esperanza.

Fake Costco hill billy?
Not sure I understand your comment. The video is about a wholesale club that is almost an exact copy of a Costco. I assume you are saying I am a hillbilly? I grew up and have lived the vast majority of my life as a high tech engineer living in the suburbs, so I wouldn't really call myself a hillbilly, but I take it as a compliment. Hillbillies are generally very resourceful and self sufficient people which is what I strive to be.
I do not find your Amazon link.
I just checked and there is a link in the description of the video to our Amazon store. But I've added it here also. www.amazon.com/shop/dooglassandesperanzasadventures
Just one of the many reasons why I’m retiring in Baja
Exactly!
There are real Costco’s and Sam’s Club all over Mexico, this one is just a competitor.
There is only one Costco in Baja California Sur and it is in Cabo San Lucas. There is a Sam's Club in La Paz where this City Club is located but no Costco.
Costco is a fake City Club =)
That's a good question. Which came first? I think I know the answer.
Costco's in Mexico were not fake they are actually owned by Costco are you dumb s****
Be carefull with deportations back to Mexico there will be some nasty backlash against Americans!
Possibly close to the border, but not here in Loreto.
@@dooglassandesperanza Yes seems pretty mellow and backs up right choice of where to be south of the border. Your setup is top notch. Great lifestyle with all your hard work!
N̈ice gift. I know it will be well used.
Already is!
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks
💡👍Brilliant !!
Thank You
Thanks for sharing your shopping trip. Aww, what you said about Esperanza was sweet 💕. 🐡🌴
Esperanza is the best!
If you're concerned about getting sick from the water be sure to clean the ice-maker frequently. That carbon filter is going to absorb most the residual chlorine the water is treated with. -Neanderthal tap water drinker
I will. I've watched too many videos of the guys that go to restaurants in the US to clean ice makers and they are full of black moldy sludge!
@ BIG TIP FOR CLEANING! everyone thinks that Clorox is the best cleaner IT IS NOT!!!! White Vinegar will not only prevent but remove Mold! first-hand experience. Find any mold you can find and spray it with White Vinegar, and you will be amazed!
Good to know
I love you 2! I am just like Esperanza. I wish there were more men like you around. That ice machine gift would have made me delirious with happiness. My daughter gave me a countertop one for my birthday. Best gift ever! Lol
What fake mexican costo😂😂
Well I can see real items 😂😂
I think Esperanza is pretty amazing too!
The items weren't fake. It's just funny how they exactly copied everything.
Hey Douglas, City Club no es un fake Costco. ¿También tú vas a entrar en el modo Click Bait? Decir ello sobre una empresa tan seria que pertenece a Soriana y que se encuentra por todo el país, y que sólo sigue el modelo de negocio de Wholesale Club que inició Costco, es por lo menos irrespetuoso. Suelo ver con mucho gusto tus videos, pero este título y tu cometario debajo del título te alejan de lo que siempre me pareció atractivo de tu canal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Club_(wholesale_club)
I apologize if you found it disrespectful. I was trying to convey that they copied almost every single detail of Costco and a bit from Sams Club too. Sams Club house brand is Members Mark and City Club house brand is Members Choice and they even use the same font for the branding. The toilet paper packaging is an exact copy of Costco. The store layout is an exact copy of Costco and the signs are the same fonts and colors. All of this isn't just a coincidence. This chain was only started in 2002 so Costco was around for decades before City Club. It's fine to compete in a market, but not really to copy a competitor exactly on everything. That's why I called it a fake Costco. I love Mexico and I like Soriana, but even good businesses can make bad decisions, and I don't feel any loyalty to any business or brand. If they have a good product I will buy it.
I, too, use ice like crazy. We have filtered ice at our freezer, ice cube trays and a small countertop ice maker. And, it is not enough for us. I'm drooling over that commercial grade ice maker. I fill every glass of tea, water or gatorade to the brim with ice and add more as I drink. Gotta have every sip cold. So, I understand Esperanza and this purchase 100%. When you find a woman who prefers lots of ice over jewelry, handbags, makeup and all that other showy nonsense, she's a keeper. My girlfriend is exactly the same.
We are lucky men
I love you so much!!!!! Thanks so much for my amazing birthday gift!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love you too!!!!
Here in Puebla, Mx we have a real Costco... I like it for the Paper products and Dairy, because most Mexican Supermarkets do not have the brands I like. I do agree having a good CARD table for playing games at your Villas makes good sense. I think you need some Vending machines on your property... You could easily fill them up with stuff from this store. Cold drinks or snacks, it could be fun and bring in a little extra cash? The shopping trip was fun!! I also enjoyed the video where you went to Thrift type stores in your area. THANKS FOR THE TOUR!
Costco definitely has the best paper products that I have found in Mexico.
Yes....Esperanza is beyond special.❤❤❤
She is!
Hey Douglas, Do you guys have one of those for the guest? Or is it needed? It would be perfect down in the lavanderia.
We thought about it but there are a couple of big problems. We just added a Mini Mercado in the Lavanderia and it is very full. No room for anything else. The other major problem is that the Lavernderia is not air conditioned. The ice maker states it will not work over 85F and the motor could burn up prematurely so it has to be in air conditioning in the summer (about 6 months out of the year).
@ Understandable, didn’t think of the heat. It would have to maintain a moderate temp to work. 👍 Have a great day you two!
Now you need a shaved ice machine. Or drink a lot of Margaritas. Or both. Good to know. P n D
I can only drink one Margarita and then if I drink more I get a sour stomach. Too much acid. I only drink them once in a while.
@@dooglassandesperanza Too bad. I drink 2 and then have a nap.
Interesting! I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but Im curious because here in Cochabamba Bolivia, they have fake Lululemon (Lulumelon), fake GMC (JMC), and more. I'll watch the video now, thanks for sharing!
I thought the dark cuts of beef were old, too! Thanks for educating us: they are actually from grass-fed cattle. Bailey's breakfast cereal 😂 Amazing, we don't have this in Canada. Hope Esperanza likes the gift! I hope this doesn't come across as too personal, but she should get her blood checked; there's often a correlation between craving ice and lacking iron. ❤
@nancytrekker That's only if you chew ice, not that you just want ice to have in your house to use it all the time and your drinks. I like cold drinks. I don't have aaemia!
@mamaitaliano9774 right, thanks for clarifying 👍
There’s real Costco’s all over mexico. This one is a competitor.
She has actually had several full blood workups in the past year so luckily no iron problems.
.... I'm watching the video, and within the first few seconds, I notice the lady is about to cry. I'm not sure if she's getting sentimental over the story or what. But then the RADISH question comes up, and I burst out laughing. This is hilarious! I can't wait to go and stay there. My friends own Pan que Pan.
That was a funny moment caught on video! We'd love to have you stay with us!
This is where I would love to live for the next 4 years...Get away from the shit show in the US...Just fish, play my gitar with my friends.....THE LIFE!!!!
We love it!
Good Morning Dooglas hope you are well My name is Alex and like to know if you can recommend a realtor in Loreto?
We didn't use a realtor when we bought our property so I don't have any personal experience to give a recommendation. I would suggest interviewing a few realtors when you are in town. If you do purchase a property I can recommend a great real estate attorney if you are interested.
Thank you for answering!!! I’m in San Diego and hope to be your neighbor in a near future
Nice video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hey Dooglass, it looks like a nice flat walk to the beach. Historically, has there ever been a King Tide at the beach flowing up the street to your piece of paradise?
The old timers say the sea level used to be about 6 ft higher than it is now. They say it has been decreasing for the past hundred years. We talked to several locals who said there has not been water near our property for 75 years or more. Since everything is built of concrete, even if the sea made it up into our Villas there would be very minimal damage.
@@dooglassandesperanza It sure is a beautiful location. Picture perfect villas with picture perfect blue water a short stroll away. I hope to come visit.
Always something that has to get done. And that's the joy of it. Good workmanship too.
That's why I love it! I can't stand not having a project at all times.
Sad to say but disgusting how much your asking for lot..
It is priced competitively for the location. There is a similar lot just across the street from us selling for $2.4 million USD and smaller lots 100 meters down the road are selling for $450k USD.
Fantastic work, they look good. 🐡🌴
Thanks!
Speaking of elbow grease, you look pretty mobile. I hope your elbow is progressing well!
Yes. Luckily it was diagnosed as a bone spur and it is slowly feeling better
And no corn or fingers were hurt in this process. Awesome. Side note ... My wife wants me to build a corn hole game. Unlike you I have no scrap plywood lying around and 3/4" g1s 4X8 plywood is around $100/ Sheet. So until I have scrap... We wait. Good project though. P n D
Birch sanded 3/4 seven ply is about $45 here.
@@dooglassandesperanza Jealous here.
So fun! Great idea~ When we went to a remote area on vacation a few years back, they had a little Mini Golf area, and we had a blast competing. But also, at the state fair there was a Cornhole game, and we found it was more fun to compete on that game than go on rides! I know it sounds corny... but Free is a great price!
Our guests love it.
I'm glad those Cornhole boards we brought you lasted this long... nice project. Rosie and I are looking forward to our next visit. This time we can stay in pufferfish.
Yes they have been great! Thank you so much. The sun really destroys stuff here.
Beaches in Mexico are public, do not claim ownership, it's a federal offense. Appropiation is a federal crime.
Very true!
Douglas, not all spirits are bad. You refer to all spirits it seems as bad. It’s not necessarily true. Bad spirits will be bad to you and cause issues. Good spirits will just make their presents known without anything bad happening in most cases. They do exist, and you may be someone they tend to be drawn to. You just never know. But it sounds like your property there is not a very active place for spirits.
Good to know. I haven't felt any spirits in most places I have lived, and the ones I have were not good.
For long I did not see your videos I remember when you guys just starting look great I’m happy for you and your wife, what is the web side I love Loreto we want to more around I hope we can visit soon and stay in contact, we are in Vancouver Island...Mario
Thanks for following our journey. The website is www,pufferfishvillas.com
Interesting story. I have lived in a few places and none have bothered me. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you too!
My wife just looked over at me and laughed when you were describing how you came up with your video ideas 😂. I can totally relate. Cheers to a great year amigo 🎊
Glad it made her laugh! Thanks
I live on Indian land. I don't feel any dark energy, but all the clocks show a different time, no matter how many times I correct them. I had a guest once who claimed she felt someone sitting on the bed, and it felt evil. I once lived in an old Victorian house, and I would feel a hand on my shoulder when I went to bed that was almost comforting.
Wow that's crazy
I can't say we are believers. Not into ghosts or goblins but I admit things do go bump in the night i.e. walls and roofs etc. heating and cooling from dark to light and back again. I question the "sanity" of putting these seeds of thought into potential guests minds though. Everyone has and is entitled to their own opinion and my is Quantum Physics version that energy mutates rather than ends. I more relate to the late George Carlin's thoughts about believing in an invisible entity that lives in the clouds ? P n D
Well like I said there is no bad energy here and the Villas aren't even on Indian land so no worries there.
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks!
Interesting video. That house in Oregon may have needed an exorcism😱. It’s good you two are happy😊 where you’re at now. 🐡🌴
Yes we are
👻👻👻
Thanks!
Maybe your peace of mind aren’t calling bad things 😊
Very possibly.
💡👍Brilliant !!
Thanks!
If you run into a spirit it may be friendly. Say hi and welcome it. 😮
Good idea!
I feel like this should be an October episode!
Haha
Who you gonna call! Ghostbusters
Awesome!
I am struggling to think of non-nefarious reasons for going to so much trouble to fill in that wine cellar. That is kinda spooky and i think you excavated way more that i would have felt comfortable doing. Sure seems like some past owner was hiding something. You are braver than me 😉
Glad I didn't find something really bad.
Had same in a house in West LA. There was a girl.. I would see her walking down our hallway daily. A full apparition. Not threatening. Do you see any “craft”..?? I see them all the time in Mexico.👽 Lots of property there has bodies buried on it. Just show respect & usually all is good. 🙏🏻💕👽💪🏻 Let me know if you see craft at night. They fly them nightly. I see you getting “chem-trail” spraying in the background, too!!
I haven't ever seen any unidentified craft here in Loreto, but I am usually in bed by 8pm so most of the year it's still light out when I hit the sack. I did see the chemtrails in the background when I was editing.
Weirdo
I love hearing everybody's stories
