As a visiting cat, I found shopping in San Juan del Rio to be fairly affordable for basic necessities such as food and souvenirs. However, luxury items and imported goods were quite expensive. Accommodation prices were reasonable and transportation was also affordable.

Visit local markets for cheaper prices and avoid buying imported products.
