i'd say like 1.6x from the signs i've seen, but i never go to places with high prices. i ate my 2nd-best-ever Lomito last weekend with a buddy from the pool/gym, and we paid 32,000 Pesos for a MASSIVE amount of food, probably 3 people eating to max, and a 2.25L soda, plus tip, on a Sunday, in a suburb called Godoy Cruz at a nice family parilla. so about $12 USD per person maybe at that MEP rate then? still "expensive" but man was it fantastic and i ate so much i wasn't hungry for the next meal 😛
i've thought about trying to have my lady bring back a flexible panel to try it out. i know the most ideal setup would be in sunny Mendoza to have 2 panels or whatever it takes per Split a/c unit, then you could heat and cool as needed since it's completely sunny like 300 days out of the year here. for sure when subsidies are fully gone, in the interim between local small-scale nuclear, Solar could be a thing! what Argies need really is just dual-pane glass, insulation, and caulking hahahahahah
when i get a second place, i would love to host your fam on a trip here. or if you end up here for business, the lower level is yours, no worries...my father-in-law cancelled on coming here this year, so it's not luxurious but we have a nice place and of course the best dog to have coffee with in the morning : )
always are deals, if you don't buy impulsively and have a mind for savings. and yes going to expensive restaurants is expensive, but cooking is overwhelmingly cheap in 95% of cases. flour, beans, stew beef, eggs, sugar, etc. are fantastically cheap in Dollars (which every Argie has saved)
eh, supply and demand follows the law of scarcity; there obviously are enough people, otherwise the restaurant wouldn't be open. we can't have it both ways; no tourists anywhere and BsAs is a poor wasteland, but also luxury restaurants and cafes are charging high prices. the contradiction is due to one of those premises being wrong 😛
sure thing, checking meow...maybe you can do the rough numbers (see attached), hopefully i'm not doxxing myself, since radical leftists have a penchant for trying to destroy people's lives over political opinions 🤐
we don't have a Rates problem here, we have a TAX problem...part of that 259k Pesos is 79k Pesos in taxes!!! what is that, like 30%????
