Sorry, I find that hard to believe (about food). I was in Floripa a couple of years ago and ate a huge platter of seafood for like 100 reais. The equivalent 20 CAD doesn't even buy a hamburger in Vancouver.

Yeah, I know inflation has been wild back home, but it is still a long, long way from being as unaffordable as here. My semi monthly supermarket run here goes around 400 CAD, and back home would be more like 1000 BRL.

To each their own. I'm glad you have been having a great time and wish you the best.

You can buy a burger for 15 bucks, even at earls.

100 reais is an appetizer of shrimps now a days, with like 15 shrimps. I think you’re out of touch of just how expensive it has gotten. Wish you the best too.
