$1 plus taxes and all compulsory expenses totalling around $100K.

I never bothered before but now I realise that I have to get those credit/debit cards that offer discounts at restaurants and retail. Yesterday had sushi in Las Canitas and nothing crazy. No alcohol and it was 112.000. Had I had a Galicia debit card there’d be a 25% discount. Never cared about...

Thank you. I really can’t wait to leave CABA for Tigre/Nordelta.

Sorry, where did you buy them from?

It was 600x50 at Farmacity on Santa Fe. Nowadays a lot of places taking advantage of me but medicine notoriously expensive in Argentina.

If I wasn’t connected to Argentina with family ties, and just an expat living off of my $, £ or € then I’d go to Spain. Argentina was great because it was extremely affordable. Now it’s not!

Today bought Ibuprofen 60 capsules and they were 31.000. This is $30 or £23. That’s disgustingly outrageous! What is that? There’s no way you can explain this with the inflation or economic conditions. Someone’s taking serious advantage of the situation. It’s not the same place anymore. You...

A friend did something like a cashiers check drawn by a US bank for the large amount through an Argentine lawyer in the US. I’m not quite sure but it was like an agreement that the check would be paid to the other party once the AR property transferred to my friend. Been sometime tho. The lawyer...

I have tried this WU “connect your bank account get your money in 0-4 days service” and the money is in my account the next day. Zero fee and the best rate. Impressed! No need to go and queue up and carry the bale around anymore!

If there’s that much of fertile land of Patagonia then there’s a way!

Argentina got a lot to offer to the US. It’s not the beef only! I assume Trump will lift the visa requirement for Argentines. Free trade agreement to supply the goods and products needed in the US. Replacing other supplier countries with Argentina. Also; Argentina with its opening up economy is...

I think it was the US elections he was waiting for. He’s the first leader Trump met and at his private residence! And Argentina is a great nation with all the assets and natural resources. A push from a strong hand can put Argentina on the right track with all the resources. We just need a big...

Trump is a businessman. He can see that an ally like Argentina is very fruitful for both sides given Argentina’s resources. He seems to have some plans and having Argentina as an ally will help to accomplish those plans. In good hands, Argentina is a great country.

Today, even I got set up! I say even I because I’m not a complete gringo nor a complete porteno. I got so stressed with all these bales of cash and I took the money without having it count in front of me. It was the same location I went for many years and instinctively established a sense of...

Milei doesn’t need to search anything as he’s the best buddies with the Trump and family. Trump even credited him at one of his rallies. I think Argentina will benefit from the Trump presidency to the max.

Back in Argentina after 9 months. It’s crazy expensive compared to last year. Those “waiter, another bottle of champers over here!” days are over. You gotta be careful with money. I’ve seen a kilo of grapes for $11. An espresso is around $2 which was around ¢70 last year. Taxi from Eze to...

Dude; maybe you’re not aware but most Nordelta country clubs getting their food directly delivered from the farmers. My in laws; they got a house in Pilar they go on the weekends; they get their produce directly from the farmers. Cleaner food for less. There’s no middleman and then the...

How about many of us get together and start our gringo farm?! There are a lot of farmers who’d jump on the offer for a steady usd income. It’ll be like a co-op. We will hire the farmer with his land and he/she will supply us the vegetables, eggs, meat, diary. All natural! He will be farming...

And Collegiales. All the new hip places seem to be in those areas. Palermo, Recoleta are all boring. Puerta Madero is the tourist place. San Telmo has the potential but no!
