$30 a Day

Okay, so if Rachael Ray can have her own show on how to eat for $30 a Day in The States, I should have a show for how to eat on $30 pesos a day. Coffee with two medialunas at this random cafe down on Mario Bravo cost me $7. That seems to be about the going rate. Then lunch was two empanadas de cebolla y queso for $4. (I paid for that in coins, so it's almost like it didn't count.) Then dinner was promocion #2 at the other cafe downstairs. Yep, our apartment is flanked by two. A cheeseburger with French fries and una botella de agua sin gas set me back $19 pesos argentinos. Thank you very much, Rachael, that's $30 pesos a day.

Of course this doesn't count the two skinny scarves I bought at Isadora in Palermo Soho or the teal jeans I bought from A.Y. Not Dead.

*Special shout-out to a certain William Scott Reynolds, who I'm pretty sure is the only reader of this blog besides my parents. Scotty is now engaged to the lucky Mary Carmichael, whom although I've never met, must be real because I doubt he'd go through all the trouble to create a fake engagement. Congratulations, Scotty! Viva Fiesta!
