Hi Joe, Price varies wildly. I am on a medium city 20 minutes from Rio, I live on the prime part of it, so I pay more than people who live 1 hour away from me, a lot more.
A milk bottle with 1 liter will cost you about about USD 1,50 A pack of sliced bread will cost about USD 2,00 We pay heavy taxes, about 60%.for imported eletronics. The Brazilian IRS takes about 30% of my income. we have free schools and free healthcare. But people from Class B and up will have private healthcare plans and will go to private high schools because they are better. Public university is better than private one. The whole country takes exams once a year to qualify for entrance, it is very difficult.
