Household items and shopping in Trujillo

9 years ago
Hi there,
I am planning a move with my family to Trujillo. We have not yet finalized exactly where we are going to live - city, suburbs, coast etc.
I would like to know what the situation is with regard to shopping in the city....we recently moved from the UK to Canada and I shipped personal effects (11 boxes in total), clothes, as little as possible, but ended up wishing I had shipped a bit more because the ordeal of replacing everything was almost not worth it (cost, time spent, spread out nature of shopping in Canada, shipping from the US etc).
So I am starting to think about this again, and more inclined to ship more - but how easy is it to pop out and get a toaster, or a bath mat in Trujillo?
I am thinking of also leaving behind most of our (second-hand) furniture, except our (new) beds - is second-hand furniture easy to come by there? Not averse to buying new as well. Just trying to weigh up the use of shipping stuff versus replacing when we arrive!
Any advice appreciated. Thanks
