    A break on supermarket prices

    I live in Nordelta. When you exit the community and take a right after the petrol station, there is a villa where the verduleria prices are at least half of what it is in supermarkets. The lady working for us, who lives 3 buses and 2,5 hours away, she bought the diapers for us from where she...

    A break on supermarket prices

    Supermarkets make money out of nickels and dimes. There’s no 30% profit. I know for the fact that; when UK supermarkets offer a nominal discount to employees then they sell the products at a loss. Offering 30% discount for the entire day throughout the stores shows how prices are artificially...

    I am traumatized every time I go to the supermarket

    I live in Spain most of the year and yes the prices for these products are similar. Definitely less. Also there are other products that is unbearable! Also; in Spain minimum wage is usd 1500. Very unlikely you can find anyone working for this amount! Now tell me if Argentina prices are the same...

    I am traumatized every time I go to the supermarket

    How about the income in AR and in France. When you factor that in then it’s at least double in Argentina.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    You’re describing the problem we have here actually. It’s a miracle to have a good place and it’s a treat only when you get the paycheck. For a croissant and a sourdough bread not a shopping spree at Harrod’s!!

    How Does Punta Del Este Compare with St Tropez, Monaco, Marbella, etc these days?

    I think Punta is the best winter sun option if you want to be near BsAs. All the uber cool Argentines and the Latin Americanos are there. Punta center is nice but a bit old. The place to be in Punta is the Manantiales area. You’re still kinda in Argentina. Nice food, nice beach, nice party. Much...

    Argentina is better than Australia

    I’m from London as well mate and this so not true! London is full of restaurants and people have coffee/lunch/dinner with their friends. BsAs is not safer than London at all!

    A few questions about multinational marriage, surnames, banking

    We got the same issue. Mine in the UK but maiden name in Argentina. An AR lawyer friend of hers said; “you can only have name. If it changes you should report it”.

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    How is that so? It was great because of the prices but now who would want to put up with all this stuff with a humongous price tag! Before you could go to best restaurants at very reasonable prices, great sports activities at very reasonable prices. I’m traumatised with the “no quality for...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    Argentina used to be wonderful now it is nonsense in terms of prices. More expensive than the UK or Spain for groceries and services. Rent a bit cheaper, maybe. But affordability became impossible. Not a great place to retire.

    If they don’t let you in, they’ll be doing you a huge favour financially! :)

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    When you got nothing sensible and logical to say, always stick with the good old “why waste time responding blah blah blah”! Dont worry we have peace and you don’t and you guys are crazy jealous hence doing all these weird things.

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    Your buddy Ruta accusing me being an authoritarian racist citing things that I didn’t say. Reads and doesn’t understand but still has an opinion and guts to accuse someone being a racist. Clearly doesn’t understand what he reads. This is a typical mindset similar to your KoolAid. When you guys...
