It's been told to me I should have entered politics but I didn't listen.

pssst.....it's called the Western Union rate.

BS

Who said "Let them eat cake"?

I hope you're wrong!

Here's just one example of food prices in Miami-Ft Lauderdale area from Winn-Dixie supermarkets (BOGO means buy 1 get 1 free). The Publix ad pic I took cane out poorly and is hard to read so I'll take another shot. This pic seems cloudy, too.

500 pesos is 50 cents (in US dollars). While you and I may be fortunate enough not to worry about chump change like that, at a casino that's a lot of money for each roll of a slot machine (even in Las Vegas). Every other post bemoans the affordability of things here. When a bus fare/train trip...

As much as we complain just got back from Hipodrome in Palermo (casino and race track). It was PACKED. And many of those there were betting 125, 250 and 500 pesos each bet.

In summation, nobody is moving anywhere.

First, it's Argentina. Next, have you been shopping recently?

While meat is a lot more expensive here, carnicerias I walk by are crowded (with lines outside on Saturday) and look well stocked. Further, my Argentine friends mostly all use Netflix, have costly cellphone plans and line up at cuevos. Lastly, next time I check prices out in Miami-Ft...

While the grass may look greener on the other side, these days it really isn't.

Massive printing by central banks result in high inflation. I, too, recall prices from 2011 (my first time here) vs today but bear in mind prices here are significantly lower in most categories than say, in the US. Also, most expats are probably making more now than a decade ago. No easy answer...

Is Nikkai Shokudo still a recommended sushi restaurant by readers here?

I recall the "duty free" prices were very expensive but then again, the ships have a "captive" audience.

"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"......J. Wellington Wimpy,

T You can buy stuff in pesos or dollars on board and use their cambio facilities to buy/sell what you don't spend. The exchange rate, as I recall, wasn't good.
