If the Dollar has gained against your Local Currency How are prices
 

For the past 4 years the dollar has always been pretty steady against the Mexican peso. Usually about 1 to 11.15 For those easily lost with money exchange we would get 11.15 pesos to 1US dollar So that made living pretty nice without being over board on the exchange. Not long ago I think it was april that started to slip and we went as low as 1 US Dollar to 9.5 at it's lowest. Now the cost of living was on average with in the US for the most part.

When the dollar started to rise we expected it to settle at about 11 to 11.50. But it hit 12 and then 13 and right now is hovering about 13.80 which means that things are cheap. VERY cheap. We pulled 3800 pesos from the atm the other day and it cost us 300$. Now, the prices are starting to go up. Milk went from 5.50$ per gallon to 6.10 again, and the price of Shelf milk went from 12.50 a case to 13.50 a case. Milk has hit the federal cap and I dont think it can go much higher without Government approval. But other things are going up as well, and they have no federal caps. Like Beef. up 2$ per kilo.
Cooking oil is up 2$ per 3 Liter pack



How about in your area/






:)

Meh, shit was expensive and still is expensive in the EU :(

It's just that I get more for every dollar with US clients

i dont consume milk, but i was looking at the prices of it the other day in the store while shopping.

$5 a gallon? Is cow mucus really worth that much ? lol

Noticed the same thing in Brazil. We were 3 to 1 when I was first coming here 5 years ago. and 2.13 to 1 when I moved here. We hit a low of 1.55 to 1 and it was brutal. The US was a lot cheaper then Brazil. Now today at 2.4 to 1. Things are back to cheap. 40% off baby!!!

The dollar is set to break through the 50 php to $1 barrier. Ironically, most of the inflation that hit the Philippines happened when the dollar depreciated against the peso. Inflation for basic goods shot through the roof due to the high price of oil. Inflation peaked at 11-12%. It's set to settle downwards for the next few months.

prices went up 2007/08 mostly....in july 2008 1 usd @ epass = around 2 polish PLNs
now it's almost 3 :-)

it's good

What the dollar does has no effect at all here, perhaps only in the price of gasoline

If you are in the US, or hell for that matter any country on this planet, then yes it does.

If the dollar is strong then the companies can buy from other countries for a better exchange, that can help hold prices steady or it can actually lower them.

Your clients don't pay you in dollars?

1 Dollar = 2,41 Reais (highest price since 2005)

The us dollar is crashing against our Aussie dollar.

From 90 cents 6 weeks ago to about 61 cents yesterday.

Our monthly grocery bill is up $400/mo over last month and the month ain't over. At least gas is dirt cheap.

I would think that with lower oil prices, food prices would go down. The rising cost of transportation and petroleum-based fertilizers were the most frequently used justifications for the food price inflation here. Food (namely rice) prices haven't gone down commensurate with oil.

Global food shortage is to blame for rising food costs. Some Visa merchant banks in Canada won't give Visa to restaurants anymore because and I quote "Global food shortage will make your business unsustainable".

I was referring to the "normal" everyday things, like housing, food, etc.

Doesn't that mean your Aussie Dollar is crashing? Its costing less US to buy your Aussie therefore the Aussie is crashing down. Same the with British Pound, it costs less Dollars to buy 1 pound now and I'm making more money on my dollars into GBP.
