Hmmm, not sure why, Ill look into that. Thanks for the heads up.

Fruit and veggie prices do vary by season, so when looking at the numbers, keep that in mind. I include them because it is interesting, but its not necessarily a good indicator of inflation. Prices of things like beer, soap, tuna, etc are a much better indicator, and even chicken, meats and...

For those that were asking, and anyone else who is interested, we've done another update of our cost of living page. What may interest people already living in Argentina is we keep track of prices at Jumbo, mostly food and some household items, in order to keep track of inflation. Matt...

I personally would not recommend this place. Although the center has beautiful architecture, it is dirty and polluted and much more dangerous than other parts of Lima. I'd stay somewhere in Miraflores or Barranco, there is more going on, and imo much prettier, plus your by the ocean.

The Chacabuco address is better than the San Juan. The San Juan location can be a bit dodgy, but isn't that bad. However, I'd stay in Palermo if you are worried about safety. Matt

I have not seen brita filters or anything similar in BA, would also like to know if anyone has found something similar. You can buy filters that attach to the tap, but they are really expensive. Matt ExposeBA

I also agree, wait till UK. In BA, you can find cheap prices, but it will be bad quality. Anything that is decent quality is quite expensive.

That happens for lots of destinations, depending on the date. Same with Argentina (sometimes), happens to me all the time when I go to Peru. Matt ExposeBA

Hey BAMama, On our website (Expose Buenos Aires), we have some recipes for tradiational Argentina foods. My favorites are Locro and Carbonada, which are two types of stews. You also may be intererested in searching for Faina (chick pea bread served with Pizza), Milanesa, Argentine...
