What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

Ordered this medium pizza a few days ago and it cost $20 😢
Crazy food prices in BA. Has it slowed down @Jakoval? I was paying $20 USD a pizza before I moved out but the pizzas were bigger than that. Hard to believe restaurants can charge that in BA. They have to hit a limit on how high they will pay before going out of business.

Nuts how much Coke goes for in Buenos Aires. You can see how cheap it is in London. 3 for 4 quid.

That's about 2x the price here in Rio, these days. Not all is greener on this side of the border, but I've gotta say, I have not missed Argentine grocery or restaurant prices one bit.
Good to hear from you. It would be interesting to read a comparison from you. I know Rio well. I enjoy the beach vibe but I have found the safety and crime situation is much worse in Rio vs. BA. But much better supermarket and fruits and vegetables there. How is life there @Darksider415?

Crime is rampant in Rio. You have to watch yourself, especially if you're a gringo and stick out. BA is much safer.
