    My local Chinese just restocked Nampe 2023 Malbec at $2000. Bought some yesterday and will buy more this morning!

    New 10,000 Peso bill release - security features described

    Am not an expert on US currency but disagree that's it is one of "the lowest quality banknotes" on the planet", unless your post was sarcasm.

    Who has left or is planning to leave?

    My Nampe inflation index is still under $2 US. The local Chinese is 2000 pesos when it's in stock.

    As I said on an earlier post on this thread, the grass may look greener on the other lawn but it isn't.

    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    To bring this up again while looking for a sensible alternative: coffee has returned to markets but it's predominantly all the crappy blends with sugar. One of two super premium offers, like Starbucks, are the equivalent of over US $18 for 250 grams (around 8 ounces). I'd never even pay that is...

    And go where else? My friends/family are in Argentina and, though haven't been back to Miami for 4 years and I'd only go back to close out business there. From what I read, the US is a mess right now and I blocked off Europe decades ago. The grass ISN'T greener anywhere else. I enjoy being here.

    Mosquito repellent

    On Friday as I was walking to my local train station a neighbor passed by, stopped and suggested I go to Pigmento as they had Off. I went in, saw a long, long line and 2 can limit for 3,900 each. Playing into the fever, I waited, bought 2 cans and left. A sad state of affairs when there are...

    Western Union money transfer

    I transferred money through WU this morning and picked it up at 1630 hours without any issue. All in the thousand peso bills.

    Any ideas why the blue and MEP rates have dropped so much this month?

    My Nampe wine inflation gauge remains practically unchanged as each 750ml bottle is still, when on sale, less than $2 US. Carrefour has a new stock of Nampe Malbec 2023 at 2500 pesos BUT buy 3 and only pay for 2. So each bottle about 1700 pesos. All is well.
