Sorry Chau We're renting a furnished place so not really any household items for sale. Thanks for the inquiry.

Victory is mine!! I got the crocrantes de arroz at the Coto mentioned, thank you, and found these tiny bags of marshmallows in Barrio Chino- don't remember the individual price per bag but ended up around 40pesos for enough to make two batches of treats. They came out pretty good, all my...

Hi All! Sadly our time in BA is almost up but before we're gone we've got some stuff to sell. All the pictures are here: http://imgur.com/a/qKWor#0 and here http://imgur.com/a/73Bvz#4 We did our best to price things fairly on both ends, if something seems out of line to you, feel...

Hey all, just thought I'd share that Malba is celebrating 10 years of being open by being free for 10 days! If you haven't been yet, or haven't been to see the Carlos Diez Paz exhibit - definitely worth it! http://www.malba.org.ar/web/home.php

Thank you all so much for your replies. I was able to find the Coco Krispies at a nearby Carrefour, thanks for the heads-up on that. In terms of marshmallows, I found some of those flavored ones at a nearby Kiosko for a total rip-off. Looks like Dona Clara has the best pricing at about $20...

So I just ran a search for Rice Krispies and came up empty handed. I'd like to make some good 'ol US snacks to share with my classmates and as I'm without an oven, Rice Krispie Treats seemed ideal. Except I can't find any. Are they anywhere to be found? Uruguay maybe? (Also accepting...

If you're looking for meat at a great price you cannot beat the Carne Para Todos. http://baexpats.org/expat-life/16337-carne-para-todos.html There are two in Constitucion, one in the station and one about half a block up Brasil (I think?) street. Just make sure that what you are buying is...

Far from a Sigg, but I found a reusable glass bottle in the form of an interesting drink at one of the supermercados in Barrio Chino. It was in the drink section with some floaty limeade bits in it. It's fairly small and you'll have to soak the labels off, but for 8 pesos it does the trick.

Ok expats, we need your help. The HP Touchpad is supposed to be going on sale for $100 US soon. If it's shipped directly from Amazon.com with original receipt, will they believe the price and charge the customs fees accordingly, or make up their own number? Will Amazon's "Priority Courier...

Not sure how heavy you're looking for but we saw 2-3KG tonight at the Hiper Coto next to Abasto.

What time of day would they be?

Thanks for the great tips on cambios, cash advances, and dolarhoy - we will probably be using those resources in the future. Because we needed to pay several months up front, we ended up using Xoom, which we found in a previous thread here. They charged $50.00 for $2,500 USD to pick up at any...

How do you guys go about getting US Dollars to pay rent?

Preferably with apartment included! :D My boyfriend and I have been down here for about a week and we have another week to try to find a place to stay for the next three months. Here's the thing, I'd really like a dog while we're down here. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the tip on Craigslist HeyBA! We found a weeklong rental on AirBnB in Caballito. Not close to a subte but one block from a bus. I have orientation the first few days, then we intend to devote ourselves to apartment hunting.

Hi All! I'll be studying in BsAs at USAL for four months starting July 19th. I've really enjoyed reading around the forum so far and I'm looking forward to an expat meet up soon. I'm going to be living on a student budget, but I've been doing that for a while now, so I think it will be...

Sharon, I don't know of where you can buy it, but I'm sure you can find the supplies to make your own. Personally, I use plain cornstarch and have found it works better than the Tresemme spray stuff. I've also heard of just using cocoa powder for brunettes. Here are a few recipes...

Sorry for the confusion, yes lwfh was right, I'm talking about the Jesuit University on Callao. I guess I thought it was more well known than it is! Thank you so much lwfh for the heads up on close transportaton. That tip really broadend my search and helped me find the perfect place!

Hi All, We're a couple looking to rent an apartment/room near USAL (within 30 minute walk?) for at least the week of July 19 through July 26. We are on a limited budget. Hotel/Hostel suggestions also welcome. Thank you! Patti
