I'm just back from the Stihl store and the guy was telling me he has to change prices 3 times every day due to the fluctuating dollar rate.
Let's face it, the 'peso' no matter which country uses it always attracts laughs when mentioned.

The peso has no weight. Little bilingual (dumb) pun!
Guess who paid her building expenses this morning and would have spent 10 EUR less had she done the transfer in the afternoon... 
Sorry - I’m merely a thick Colonial, Gov -
Our car broke down. With the dollar rising it almost make up for the loss of money of yesterday when we paid expenses in the morning and the exchange rate increased in the afternoon.
Provided the car fixer doesn’t rise his fee by the time we have to pay the bill.
Yesterday I walked past a school supply shop where a sign read “Cost estimates are valid for 24 hours”.

The dollar rose again over the last day. Had a message from Galeno today saying the price of my health plan is going up 800 pesos. They don't waste no time.

Very clever. I wonder what this group is working on now?
This thread started life with the dollar at AR$45 in April 2019. Now the blue is at AR$178.
Who would have thunk it?
GBP is at 206/207 in Western Union today.....
If you go the bank , they will give you 99.9
Bloody crazy!
All planned to keep you on your toes....
It's nothing new though...my packet of fags do cost many times more today in pesos than they did years ago but in £'s they don't really cost that much more.....similar story to beer and I suspect many more poducts.
The answer? There doesn't seem to be one due the massive reliance this country has on the US$.
Exchange days are interesting for me at the moment. I wake up feeling great about the new rate I will be getting, but go to bed asking why I didn’t just wait another day. It’s tumbling fast.
