Prices rising? Absolutely - anywhere from 35-50% a year since I’ve been here. Sometimes more. Just in sort of a general way, I’d say that when we started Casa S a year and a half ago, buying all the vegetables for a typical weekend ran me about 50 pesos, now they easily run over 100. A few weeks ago we made partridges - the first time I’d made them, about a year or so earlier, they ran me 8 pesos apiece, this time, 18 each. About the only things that aren’t going up fast are beef and milk, which have government price controls on them.

Give it a few more years and who knows, maybe BA will go back to being on of the most expensive cities in the world to live in…

btw
A piece aired today on NPR dealing with Argentina’s inflation, with a focus on food items. Have you been noticing said rise in prices?

thanks
