    CEPO is lifted

    Yes, bank or street. You can only buy $100 per month in cash - to get more, you have to do it via home banking, which of course is all trackable. So Cuevas still exist.

    CEPO is lifted

    Well, the USDT rate is at 1222 after reaching 1400 on Friday. It was at 1222 in December on NYE. Argentina has just got even more disgustingly expensive.

    CEPO is lifted

    In theory yes, as now there all individuals can buy USD freely, so these rates will be the same. So if in theory yes banks it’s 1250, as opened this morning, then dólar crypto would follow suit. It will be volatile this week for sure

    Poverty fell in the first year of Milei

    It’s one of the big conclusions I have come to from this year—it’s not just the politics, it’s society. And sadly, I just don’t think Argentine society will change. Or it will take a long time. Or dollarise.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    It was definately because I was in Uruguay 😅 I'll explain how it was. We'd be out all day, being tourists, walking around Ciudad Vieja etc, and it was 9.30pm, we were tired from doing stuff all day - similar to my life Monday to Friday here - we wanted to chill out back at the airbnb, not go...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    I think it’s possibly a generational difference too. I have lots of Argentine friends who are like me. Millennial, mid30s. They live alone, parents in other parts of town or the country. They work full time, in the office at 9am, finish at 6pm, then in the evenings go to the facultad, pilates...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Lol, I've been here 10 years, am married, have a business, a dog, an ageing mother-in-law, a rental contract. Moving to Uruguay because I discovered I randomly like the cheese a month ago? I wish life was that simple haha I don't doubt your point at all though about the possible political...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    I'm sure you can get great blue cheese here, and I have had great morcilla here. My gripe is more with the horrific/inconsistent quality of the food in Coto and other everyday places compared to the ease of getting quality food in Uruguay. For me, I work, do sports, study, I don't have a spare...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    That's true to some extent. In Uruguay, I couldnt stop scoffing down the blue cheese, olives and morcilla - not exactly the healthiest. Whereas, when I bought the same here, I was tempted because it had no taste.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Just want to wake this thread up to whinge about the poor quality of the food here A few weeks ago, my other half and I went to Uruguay. We went to Tienda Inglesa, the Coto/Walmart etc of Uruguay. Prices similar to here, it’s not cheap, but amazing variety, imported goods and great quality. I...

    Has anyone tried MercadoLibre International?

    As far as I understand, MercadoLibre Internacional works well, presumably due to relations between Marcos Galperin and Milei. I personally would use it and trust it. The problems I have heard of since the relaxing of the rules this year have been with people buying direct from Amazon and then...

    Has anyone tried MercadoLibre International?

    I used it in Colombian and it was all good. MercadoLibre handles everything for you and pre-charges the custom fees, so there should be no hold ups in customs.

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    I think it’s 3 things… 1. Overvalued exchange rate. I saw that when I went to Uruguay, products imported from Argentina are cheaper there than they are here. 2. Protectionism means there are monopolies in the local market and very high costs on imported goods, meaning local businesses can...
