What's the average $$ you spend on you TJ trips ?

[My Puppet Hands]

lets see driving from OC $30, parking $6, taxis $10, usually I am a regular at the HK in fact going this tuesday night I will spend usually about $30 on drinks, depending on the chica with hotel about $70.00, tacos $5.00. so just to average out about $160.00 if I follow that routine, just depends on who I drink with and what else I do when I go, I usually pull $200.00 which is what I'll pull tommorrow and if I need more I visit the ATM but I try to stay within that.

Quick lesson on how to save some dinero while screwing your favorite chica in more ways than one. Currently the peso is about 13 to the dollar. If you convert your dollars into pesos, you can usually get a BG to go arriba for 600 pesos. At around 13 pesos to the dollar, that's around $46/$47. I have found the best deals are in San Ysidro before you cross the border.


There are two hotels that the chicas will usually go with you to that are located either in the ZN or pretty close. The first is La Leyva is which right next to the Chicago Club. The second is the Hacienda de Santiago is which one block down from Adelita's across from La Tropa at the corner of Revolucion and Coahuila (the street that Adelita's is on). Of the two, I prefer Hacienda de Santiago. A much better hotel is La Espaٌa which is on the west side of Revolucion between 3rd and 4th (or is it 4th and 5th?). I've been able to convince a couple of chicas to meet me there before their shifts but others have reported that they were unsuccessful in this endeavor.

For me, it varies wildly depending upon which type of bombing run I am making. I live in San Diego so the cost of transportation is minimal. Often I will drive to the border but I am also close to the trolley. I prefer escorts. The cost varies depending upon which agency and how long you want to monger. The costs for some of the nicer hotels (Premier, La Mansion, La Espaٌa, Haciendo del Santiago) have actually gone down. The actual costs can range from less than $100 to over $300 or more.

For me, the cost of BGs is usually less than the average monger because I loathe spending time in bars. The music is ear-splitting and the smoke is bothersome. I'm trying not to sound elitist but I find the behavior of some of our fellow gringo mongers downright embarrassing. I usually make a few trips scouting about until I find a suitable chica, then quickly make my move. One ficha and we go arriba. Usually less than $100, sometimes much less, sometimes more.

I haven't done a SG in a long time but that cost can be almost negligible. The peso has fallen so 200 pesos is currently around $16 and the cost of those hotels which shall remain nameless is often less than $5. Try to find a deal like that in the States!

Sorry that these numbers are not too specific, but as I said, it varies wildly.

Yours in mongering,
