¡Hola! Fue un placer conocerlos hoy 🙂

These costs remind me of Costa Rica

I worked and lived in Uruguay for 7 years, I’m from Perth Western Australia. I lived in Rivera and later moved to Tacuarembo. Houses to rent to the same standard as Perth were similar to more expensive at the time. Grocery’s similar to Perth standard was much more expensive. Fuel, cars much more expensive. At the time I lived there the AUD was 1.10 to the USD, now it is .67c so would be far more expensive for Australians now. Electricity etc similar prices to Aus at the time. If you eat and live like the locals it is cheap but if we live and consume as we do in Aus it is considerably more expensive. Alcohol, restaurants are cheaper, cigarettes if you smoke but not much else, from memory.

Very interesting comparison. Thanks for sharing the pricing details!

Hi Emilie. I am thinking of emigrating to Montevideo with my mom as an option.

Thanks for this ! I’m thinking of going August for only 6 or 5 days im just wondering how much money I should take . For those few days

Any idea whats the price of beef per pound from the butcher?

it depends on the cut, but most of them will go for around 500 uruguayan pesos per kilo, which is roughly 12 USD. We dont use pounds here

Was that URU$40.00 restaurant bill for two, or $40.00 per person? Tks!

How interesting! We just assumed it wouldn’t be that expensive in Uruguay.🤷🏻‍♀️ Good to know.

Those prices are insane. And you have to question why, a place would give you a discount when paying by credit card, when it COSTS them money to accept that instead of cash. This is a country best avoided from what I can see.

I googled because they gave back 22%tVTA to tourist as long as paid in electronic cash or alike

Es un incentivo que da el estado a los turistas, a los comercios se le descuenta la comisión y otras retenciones como cualquier transacción con tarjeta, el descuento del 22% lo asume el estado, o sea todos los uruguayos; y no entendí porque eso sería motivo suficiente para no venir, bueno no nos perdemos nada, suerte

It's worth visiting, but yeah the prices are outrageous. Just as much as in the states, though properties are cheaper comparatively speaking. The politicians should do something about it (ha! what goverment does this, but one can only wish right?!) because they will lose a lot of people to Argentina or other countries with lower cost of living.

@@leplane_ yes but urugayans have a much better quality of life, purchasing power than argentinians and stable economy. Why should they lower their prices for gringos who are only staying a few days there when they already have a diversified economy and don't need your tourist money. You think the world revolves around americans ? 😆 You are seriously asking their politicians to do the same as argentinia when the country is becoming a shithole and everybody is fleeing ? how dumb.
