About
Stationery Del Ahorro is a Mexican budget stationery and office supply chain with this location on Avenida Jose Lopez Portillo in Cancun. The store carries school supplies, stationery, art materials, office products, and a selection of toys and gifts at discount prices.
For families, this is a purely practical stop — but one that stationery-loving kids find surprisingly exciting. Mexican stationery brands are different from US ones, so notebooks, pens, pencils, and art supplies have different designs, colors, and packaging that feel novel and collectible to kids who care about their school supplies.
The store is a budget chain, meaning prices are low and the emphasis is on value rather than premium presentation. For families needing to replace a broken crayon set, buy coloring books for a long travel day, or stock up on cheap art supplies for hotel-room crafting, this is the place.
It's not a tourist destination — it's a Mexican CVS/Dollar Tree for stationery. But if you're in the area and your kids love pens and notebooks (and many kids do), a 15-30 minute browse costs nothing and might yield some fun finds.
The Avenida Lopez Portillo location is on a major commercial street with plenty of other shops and services. Accessible by taxi from the Hotel Zone, though you wouldn't make a special trip just for this store.
