Going on a trip to the countries of North America, tourists often wonder what can be brought from Mexico and what souvenirs are bought most often.
What is the price policy for Mexican souvenirs?
Prices in Mexico for souvenirs are almost everywhere low. Souvenir products at inflated prices are sold only on site. Buying souvenirs is best in Cancun than in hotel zones, as prices near hotels are much higher. So, in the suburbs of Mexico City you can buy a refrigerator magnet for less than one dollar, and a T-shirt for eight dollars. Be sure to bargain with local sellers of a souvenir shop, because sometimes the price can be reduced by half from its original mark.
