It hit a low of $1.38 in June, 2001 when we were having our villa built but as I remember it everything we paid for still seemed better value compared to the UK.

Even today with the tourist rate around $1.48 and the Market rate at $1.53 a quick perusal of the menus for a couple of my favourite restaurants shows them to still be considerably cheaper than both the UK and Europe.
