    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    My local Chinese just restocked Nampe 2023 Malbec at $2000. Bought some yesterday and will buy more this morning!

    New 10,000 Peso bill release - security features described

    Am not an expert on US currency but disagree that's it is one of "the lowest quality banknotes" on the planet", unless your post was sarcasm.

    Who has left or is planning to leave?

    My Nampe inflation index is still under $2 US. The local Chinese is 2000 pesos when it's in stock.

    As I said on an earlier post on this thread, the grass may look greener on the other lawn but it isn't.

    In Carrefour here, they have anti-theft devices on cans of tuna fish!

    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    To bring this up again while looking for a sensible alternative: coffee has returned to markets but it's predominantly all the crappy blends with sugar. One of two super premium offers, like Starbucks, are the equivalent of over US $18 for 250 grams (around 8 ounces). I'd never even pay that is...

    And go where else? My friends/family are in Argentina and, though haven't been back to Miami for 4 years and I'd only go back to close out business there. From what I read, the US is a mess right now and I blocked off Europe decades ago. The grass ISN'T greener anywhere else. I enjoy being here.

    Try Fuji unless you enjoy paying more for Raid, which of course is fine with me.
