One of the things we have to adapt to everytime we change countries are the prices.
This time when we returned here to Patagonia we have noticed several big differences.
Gasoline was down from when we left. It's now only $3.90 (US) a gallon. Much better then the $5.00 when we left.
Motor oil is another story though, at the gas station it's around $10 a quart. Ouch.
I'm so glad we got several cases to put in our container when they were on sale!
Lean hamburger is around $6 a kilo ($3 a pound) and milk a dollar a quart. We can only get UHT milk in 1 qt boxes. UHT means Ultra High Temperature where they take regular milk zap it with 4oo degrees for a few seconds then box it up. It does change the taste some but we get used to it. The good news is we can keep a box unrefrigerated for a couple months. Once opened it's like regular milk and you put it in the fridge.
