Till now I always came through with several computers, monitors, phones, other electronics, without any problems. But 6 big bags full on one person? Have no idea, but then I don't understand at all why they even bother scanning stuff when departing ezeiza..

Interesting, even more because price of tomato isn't really low comparing to other countries. Not fresh not processed. I understand that strong peso is part of the problem here, but no way that it is more expensive to grow tomato in Argentina than in Chile or China...

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions here. It is well known fact that the best tactics for police against protests is escalation. Standard procedure to implant few guys inside to turn things to ugly. Then you can go full force against everyone, and most people there are not invested enough to...

Sweet summer child :). 10 years ago it was the most common thing. I was lucky to live next to the hospital, so we never experienced more than hour long shortages, but I had colleagues at work who were living months without electricity, in tenth floor also. Only thing working was gas, showering...

Numbers don't add up...

Yes, that was my experience when living full time here between 2013-2016 as well. Now our life is in Europe and we spend up to 5 months in Argentina per year. That's doable, but we limit ourselves here quite a lot. Not a big deal of course, since whatever is expensive here I just buy there. Here...

Shit, that's really expensive. To think there are countries that basically pay you to have children, living in Argentina (or similar countries) by your wish is just crazy...

I'm no fan of nordelta, but must agree. For someone like OP only safest is ok, the rest is asking for trouble. I lived in Palermo without kids happily, now I don't even visit with kids...

There is really no point in comparing different places this way. While you get cheaper diappers in London, I guess you lose multiple times on child care. But there is no denying Argentina went from dirt cheap to very expensive in very short period. At that point is all about if you can weather...

I agree, I only wanted to point out prices in general and how much out of reality they are. I mean, it doesn't come as surprise, we knew from the start how it will go. Honestly, I thought he would destroy public sector more, and do more damage all over the place, but there is still time...

It was "too" cheap for people with foreign currency, for Argentines, at least most of them, have never been too cheap. If we take Europe as an example, let's say Spain, because it's somewhat in the middle, has similar taxation, labour laws etc. At the end of 2023 before devaluation, prices...

In one moment bill will need to be paid. Milei promised suffering of the masses, but after December 2023 nothing much happened, suffering was mild at best. Probably they need elections, winning one of course, to proceed with the plan. My opinion is, it will be ugly, whatever course they will...

Sounds massive, but it wasn't really that much in great scale. 330.000 people put in average 60k usd in the accounts. Not a bad move from the government, but this doesn't change the fact, that if Argentina would open as any other normal country, there would be huge capital exodus.

Doesn't matter what he believes, he knows it will ruin all the effort. As happened to Macri. People voted him to escape with dollars, hell, I did the same in 2016, because me, and most of people don't like to bet significant amounts. Also Argentines not, they invest just enough to suck everyone...

Sadly it is too true. I feel I'm the only one frequenting different venues for cheaper prices. Had a guy in front of me paying for repelente 11k, while exactly the same one cost in the shop next door 6k. And I see this every day. Era of Internet, but people buy expensive kitchen appliances in...

Even 14k is daylight robbery, who pays that?? I get 1kg of cuadril or bife de chorizo for less..

El Gobierno Nacional disolvió el COPREC para optimizar la resolución de los reclamos de consumo What a shame, but I guess people voted for this... If anything, there isn't enough protection for the consumers, but sparing 600.000 usd is more important.

Even I could pay for 200m fence, but I can't understand how this will prevent drug trafficking. If only those few metres are all needed to stop it, they could put a police officer there, no?

Comparing to other prices I find beef still quite cheap here.

While it might be true for a lot of stuff they sell, they have plenty of solid quality all over the departments. Their model is pretty simple, to offer entry and medium level quality for beginners and amateur sport enthusiasts. Whoever wants professional grade will go elsewhere of course...
