What are the supermarkets like? Might be fun reading if you described a typical trip down the ailes. How about the delis? What do you like to prepare at home? And how are the prices?

What exactly do you mean what are the supermarkets like? Pretty standard but with obviously far less crappy junk food like in the States. Try to get more specific and I'll answer better.

Delis are all over the city and generally will sell you large selection freshly sliced meat and cheese at a certain price per 100 grams. Many of them will also sell you freshly made sandwiches. You can get a nice big submarine sandwich for AR$3-4 at most delis. Smaller ones are AR$2-2.50. Most meats are somewhere around AR$2-5 per 100 grams from what I've seen depending on what it is and where you are getting it. I can't really remember about cheese, but I think it was AR$3 for 100g... I could be wrong here.

I eat out far more than one should. I don't even bother making sandwiches at home anymore. No point when I get one for a buck and not have to worry about keeping fresh veggies.

I also don't really bother cooking my own dinner since I get dinner at most parrillas around here for under $5. [censored] I'm lazy. My Spanish teacher even told me that today. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I also probably go out to eat at somewhat nice restaurants 3-4 times a week.

When I'm at home I eat fruit/veggies, sometimes cereal, yerba mate, and some other random snack things I buy at the grocery store. It's very rare I cook anymore which is something I should try to correct.
