You're thinking about meal prices on richer countries.

I am a software developer, so I get paid more than the average Brazilian. And I spend 14~18 BRL (4.3 to 5.5 USD) on a good meal regularly.

39 to 75 BRL is very expensive to our standards. The restaurant I take my wife on our anniversary costs 60~70 BRL per person.

Someone spending close to 75 BRL per day is the equivalent of eating every day in that nice restaurant you go a couple times a year.

Where do you live? I live in Buenos Aires and in my experience Sao Paulo is pricier. The amounts dont seem crazy to me.

Edit: if they actually did it every day then it wouldn't be a statistical outlier :P
