Looks like the Argentine Consumer Protection Agency tried to buy items from Carrefour's $6.99/day menu for a family and could not find around half of the 42 items which were advertised.

Somewhat surprised this came out of the government and not a newspaper investigation.

Noooo. This can't be! My wife and I already gave away all our income save 209.7 pesos for the next month! What are we going to do...

What a waste of money sending inspectors. You can't even buy a kilo of potatoes for under 6 pesos anymore.

the fine on Carrefour is $5 million. Now they will never think about 6 peso meals any more

I wonder when the city government will fine INDEC and the federal government for saying $6 pesos is enough to survive.
