Argentina Turns to Budget Asado Cuts as Cuenta DNI Delivers 35% Savings

Rising meat prices are pushing households toward undervalued options flagged by the IPCVA.

Overview

  • Late-October coverage spotlights asado banderita at about $10,900/kg, dropping to roughly $7,085/kg with Banco Provincia’s Cuenta DNI discount.
  • Crónica highlights paleta de cerdo (pork shoulder with bone and skin) around $3,999/kg, or near $2,600 with the 35% rebate, with strong yield and grill-or-oven versatility.
  • IPCVA-cited alternatives marucha, tapa de nalga and ojo de aguja are promoted as flavorful, versatile substitutes that can cost up to 50% less than popular cuts.
  • Reports emphasize preparation flexibility across grill, oven, plancha or slow cooking to achieve tender, juicy results with these lesser-demanded pieces.
  • The 35% digital wallet promotion applies on a limited monthly basis at participating supermarkets and butcher shops, so availability and final prices vary by store and date.
