They are full on the weekends when I go. I also go to Carrefour in Palermo Chico and there are usually lines. They don't like to have many workers at stores which is annoying so typically always a line. I think half the bitching is people that just want prices to come back to how they were...

I would agree with you. Many things are in cash and I don't think there is any way the government would know. I pay my rent to a local and I just send to her American bank with Zelle. I doubt Argentina knows about all of the money floating out there. Most of my friends actually pay cash...

No one does memes better than Argentines.

Mine is the dog poop all over as some talked about and the terrible supermarkets with limited selection and high prices.

I HATE this. So annoying. I wish they would price like normal supermarkets around the world. I haven't seen anything like this. Even in Paraguay they have wonderful supermarkets with reasonable prices.

Milei seems to love rubbing it in with the other side. I just wonder if it will come back to haunt him. War in the Middle East shouldn't be good for Argentina. It could really disrupt things.

That is something I didn't even think about. That is a good point but you can't go through life worrying about that. Argentina is a long way from the conflict. I honestly don't think Buenos Aires is much cheaper than living in the USA. I know many that say it is just as expensive when you...

Not only is there no light at the end of the tunnel but stagnation. Take a look at the government's own numbers. The only sectors that grew were agriculture, mining, fishing and some financial (carry trade related). Look at all that fell. The rest stagnated. The ones that fell are the main...

I love that actor. I'm going to buy a ticket. Thanks!

I get that they don't want people to block the streets but why remove peaceful protesters?

Anything can happen. 2 years seems like an eternity in Argentina.

The prices here are outrageous. How can anyone even try to argue with a straight face that this will work out? Prices and costs in dollars keep going up. It is just totally unsustainable.

You can go to Galeria del Optico. They have a big selection. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KpcbBFioi7GassLw6

I do NOT like the supermarkets here compared to the States or anywhere else in Latin America. They are terrible here. Must be decades of socialism. I wonder when they will improve...
