Answer
Hi Amber,  I am sorry, but I had a lot of trouble trying to figure out what you are trying to say.  Punctuation would sure help.  You didn't say where you were driving FROM or where you will drive TO, or what your route will be, but I think you want to know how expensive it is to buy food and "extra stuff"????  I guess it largely would depend on what kind of food you eat and how MUCH you eat and I don't have any idea of what kind of "stuff" you like to buy.  Generally, I will say that it costs quite a bit less to eat in the country of Mexico than it does to eat the same sort of things in Canada.  Since I don't live in the US, I don't know what the prices are like there.  Of course, the less touristy the place in Mexico, the less expensive everything is.  Like tourist areas in any country, everything is always expensive there.  Hope this helps a bit.  Enjoy your trip.

Expertise

My husband and I have travelled extensively within mainland Mexico for over 15 years. We prefer quiet, locally owned accomodations over resorts. Once we retired, we spent 6 years RVing in Mexico during the winters, travelling along the coastlines and inland. We love the people, the climate and the culture, and we are still working hard at our Spanish. We now live in Zihuatanejo during the winters, and in Canada during the summers.

Experience

Due to our extensive travel and our many wonderful experiences, I have published a book so that others may share what we have experienced. You can learn about my book at www.livingthedreaminmexico.com

Education/Credentials
I was a teacher in Winnipeg for many years. I hold several degrees in music and in education, and was fortunate to have a wonderful career not only as a teacher, but also as a classical musician. I marvel at how very different my life is now.
