I’m leaving Argentina, and still have some Melitta coffee from Brazil. They are 500 gram boxes containing vacuum-sealed bags. If interested send me a PM.

How about getting TO the airport from the city? I'm out near on Cabildo so taking a taxi to downtown to get the Manuel Tienda Leon seems kind of dumb. Any of the airport transit buses make stops out here en route to the airport? When I came from the airport last November I was able to get...

I need an apartment for 1 month, maybe longer, starting next week. 1 bedroom or studio is ok. Must be quiet (no street traffic or noisy neighbors, please), have heating for the cold weather, a kitchen with an oven (horno convencional), a full-sized bed, and internet. These things are important...

This spice has a nice fragrance. Anyone out there have recipes that put it to use? Haven't had any luck finding it referenced on the net. (NOTE: I am referring to the herb/spice, not the cheese)

Just wondering if this business in Europe about the E. coli and vegetables may affect the jars of pickles sold in Jumbo market, imported from Germany.

I'm out on the coast and will be coming to BsAs for a few days to do some shopping. I have to buy some warm clothes (heavy shirts, jeans, etc), not interested in fashion just good bargains. I'll only have a day or so, and trying to plan where to shop. Is Plaza Once still a good area for this...

I'm staying in Uruguay these days and need to visit BsAs in the beginning of June. I need a place to stay for 2 nights: will arrive evening of the first day, be out all of the second day, and will be gone before 9am the following morning. If you have a spare bedroom let me know and we'll work...

A friend in the US who is experiencing drastic changes in his health insurance has asked me to look into getting what he needs (imitrex aka sumatriptan) down here and shipping it to the US. I am wondering what will be involved in shipping them from Argentina or Uruguay (I'm pretty much figuring...

To my surprise there is not an existing thread on this subject. I've been away from BsAs for a few years. There was a pharmacy on Las Heras (north side of the street), near Austria. The place had the best prices for generic meds, bar none. Well, I went looking today and it is no more. So...

I see in shops like Farmacity a whole display of ibuprofen, all are 400mg tablets/capsules. Some are double the price of others, same dosage. Any notable differences? I haven't seen naproxen here, I'm guessing you have to get it from the pharmacist.

Anybody check this out? If so, please tell. Maybe a Wednesday visit would be better than a Sunday? http://ferialasalada.com.ar/ http://akworld.net/BAweekly/?p=311

I’m considering getting a small wi-fi router for places that have an internet connection that requires connecting via a cable. A web search can let me see what exists in the rest of the world, but I don’t know what is available in BsAs. I’m looking for something small and cheap, doesn’t need...

Know of a good helados artesanal place? Well, do tell! Your post will be considered a recommendation, so "I saw a place on..." just won't cut it. There are places with the word "artesanal" on their sign and the quality is below that of the mass-produced stuff in the supermarket. Places to...

I am a retired gringo expat, solo male, been living this way for nearly ten years. I live in countries that I can afford and be comfortable in (which, unfortunately, eliminates much of the world). Just spent 5 years in SE Asia, flew from Kuala Lumpur to BA via Cape Town (where I spent over a...

Hello all. I have stayed in BA twice before in sub-let furnished apartments for periods of several months. Both times I have run into difficulties when it came to getting my deposits refunded. No dire losses, but the last time I strongly suspect I nearly lost the entire deposit (1 month's...
