PEQUENO MUNDO • Pequeño Mundo - one of the CHEAPEST places to find things for the home in Costa Rica

PEQUENO MUNDO 

I think Pequeño Mundo has some of THE LOWEST prices I've found in Costa Rica for household goods.  It's kind of like the American Big Lots or the old time Pic N Save (are they still around??) where it's always different (ok, so that's how Costa Rica is overall) and most of it's the cheap quality "Made in China" stuff, but you can find LOTS of things here - to me - making it perfect for someone that JUST moved here as in many ways it's a one-stop-shopping place!!

They have everything from:
•  Housewares•many things you need to set up a new Home•Kitchen•Hogar (though cheap quality) from dishes sets for under $20, glassware
•  Decorative items
•  Hardware•Ferretería (a GREAT place to find everything from the old fashioned [healther for you] light bulbs, hammers, screwdrivers and all that type of stuff)
•  Food•Groceries•Abarrotes
•   Furniture (in the larger ones mainly)
•  Clothes for Kids•Niños • Babies•Bebes
•  Women•Damas • Men•Caballeros • Shoes•Calzado.

In "Summer" season - tents/beach things.  They're even good to find things for someone starting a restaurant as you can get SOOOO MANY things there!!!!!

NOTE that, as with MANY stores in Costa Rica, what you see today - chances are GOOD you will NOT see them tomorrow!!!!

I have some pictures of some things I've seen there over the years at Pequeño Mundo:

DIRECTIONS (It's off of the Autopista Próspero Fernández•Pista del Sol•Ruta #27 - 500 meter West of MultiPlaza though NOT easy to get to from MultiPlaza (at least I haven't figured it out yet [if you do PLEASE email me what you go to LivingLifeInCostaRica@gmail.com]):  Coming from Santa Ana:  JUST after the Guachipelin exit there's a NEW small exit that leads to Pequeño Mundo and the new Casino (I think it still says "Guachipelin").  Make an IMMEDIATE RIGHT and a Right into their parking lot. (I need to figure
Coming from San Jose:  Get off at the Guachipelin exit and go Left•South.  I think the easiest way to do it is to go under the overpass and get back on the Pista and get off at the first exit (a small one).  See the directions from Santa Ana above for the rest.
