In 2024, the site published a complaint about the prices of OFF! insect repellent offered online in Argentina. The author described difficulty finding stock in supermarkets during concern about dengue and contrasted a usual supermarket price with several online listings.
This is a historical price archive, not a current shopping recommendation, medical guide or live offer. The screenshots have not been altered, and the listings, availability and sellers' present prices have not been rechecked.
The prices recorded in the original article
The author said an orange-packaged OFF! product normally cost approximately ARS 3,000 at supermarkets such as Coto or Día, but was out of stock when they looked. They then recorded these online examples:
- Green-packaged OFF!: ARS 29,999.
- Orange-packaged OFF!: ARS 19,499.
- Orange-packaged OFF!: ARS 29,511.20.
- Orange-packaged OFF!: ARS 43,000.
The original's rough US-dollar comparisons were approximately USD 3 for the supermarket example, then USD 30, USD 20, USD 30 and USD 43 respectively. No exchange-rate source or precise observation date was supplied. These are the author's historical approximations, not verified conversions or today's values.

Questions raised by the author
The article asked whether readers considered these prices fair and whether the manufacturer should intervene. It also described angry comments and jokes under the listings. Those reactions are not a legal finding about pricing, nor do the screenshots alone establish that different pack sizes or formulations were directly comparable.
The source describes OFF! favourably and says repellent should be used all day. This translation does not rank brands or recommend continuous application. For personal-use repellents, follow the product label and ANMAT's use and safety guidance, rather than treating a price complaint as health advice.
If you share a price in the comments, include when and where you saw it, the size or presentation, and the currency. The original questions remain useful for comparison: where did you buy it, which product did you choose, how much did you pay and what was the highest price you encountered?
