Pequeño Mundo
Pequeño Mundo is one of my favorite places to shop here in Costa Rica. Our first house in Playa Samara came furnished—right down to the sheets and dishes—but when we moved to Atenas we had to furnish all that ourselves. Pequeño Mundo was the perfect place to do this. It’s a cross between a Pic’n’Save (now called Big Lots, I think) and Ikea. More like Pic’n’Save in that it has rows and rows of cheap Chinese made stuff. But like Ikea in that the stuff is actually pretty decent.
In that trip, we bought pots and pans, towels and sheets, bathmats, glasses, trashcans, zip lock bags, frosted cereal, you name it, for less than two hundred bucks. In this most recent trip, I bought mirrors for the bathrooms. They look great, the price was right, and I had fun sifting through the store.
No pictures just yet, but once we get them up I’ll be sure to post them.
