Troubled by Tijuana

I read the Tijuana article and, ever the cheapskate, headed to Mexico to buy some of the “Rogaine (or Minoxidil) selling for $6.” Please tell your staff writers that when you divide the exchange rate of 3050 pesos per dollar into 183,000 pesos the result is $60, not $6.

Editor’s note: The writers did, in fact, see a price of $6 U.S. for a 2-ounce bottle of Rogaine in a department store on Avenida Revolution. But that store’s price may have been either a misprint or an aberration, since recent travelers calling the Times report that the going price for the drug in TJ is about $50.
