Default Puerto Vallarta Provisioning

Hi everybody. Hopefully someone can help with my not so small problem. I will be leaving around November 1st to Puerto Vallarta for seven months. I haven't been there before so I need to know the prices of sodas down there (preferably in USD). I have to provision for 5 people for seven months and 16 people for three of those months. So if they are significantly cheaper in one country or the other it would greatly help on my provisioning costs. Also if anyone knows anything about the beer bottle fee. I have heard that the beer costs more down there because you have to pay a fee for the bottle at purchase time and then approximately $10.50 to dispose of the bottles. Is this true?

Default And one more thing....

Also I forgot to ask if anyone knows a legal/proper way to go about getting USDA stickers for my meat. I am buying in the States before I go (boss will only eat US meat) but I am buying bulk. I will be individually cryo-vacking every piece but if I don't have a sticker on every cryo vac then the federales can and most likely will take my meat. Thanks again for everyones help!
