Most expats stick within their comfort zone. That means shopping at Carulla or Exito. It means staying in estrato 5 or 6 neighborhoods. It means air conditioning and clothes dryers. Because of these things, they pay more. Many also look at it as an opportunity to upgrade. They can get a 3 bedroom place for cheaper than the 2 bedroom they had. It's still cheaper, but they don't get to the best level.
All those stores don't have 2 sets of prices. But you can often go down the street to another store and buy groceries for 20-50% less.

Posts: 691Numbeo Cost of Living Index
I have attached a link to a site called "Numbeo". If you want to evaluate the cost of living for Colombia (or any where else for that matter) this site will be a big help.
I used it initially to screen various countries and cities abroad that might be a good place to retire and practice a hobby that we all seem to share. It isn't a commercial.
Site, doesn't cost anything, doesn't require a sign up or anything.

Posts: 39Retailer reference
When I translate (Google Translate) it seems the women want a "retailer". When they read my profile or I say something nice to them they tell me I am a "Retailer". A man with a job? Smooth talker? Merchant?
Looking for IRL interpretation.

If you're using a no fee card, ATMs are your best option. If you're using a card that charges fees, Casas de Cambios might be a better option.
One other note is that the Davivienda ATM had a maximum withdrawal of 2 million.

It appears that the rate is determined by the bank that issues the card because I have never had that much of a difference using the Schwab card.
