Parece que esto pasa con todo el mundo, un dólar en tú país equivale a un paquete de gominolas, aquí a 100g de café, el viernes salí por un poco de ajo y ají 🫑 en este caso cachucha que así le decimos al pequeño, de todo lo que gaste solo me quedaron 50 pesos cubanos, mi madre estaba loca por comer un caramelo desgraciadamente no pude comprarle ya que me costaba 70 el 🍬, sí parece que la pandemia le cambió la vida a muchos en mi casa solía haber jarrones llenos de ellos y en ese entonces valía una caja con más de 1000 20 pesos 😲🤫
