A visit to the supermercado in BH

I'm always intrigued to compare cities and cultures by what finds its way on to supermarket shelves, and get a relative idea of the cost of living from the prices there.  So, off to a downtown supermercado in Centro, BH for some research ...

Which aisle are the car tyres in?  Next to thongs of course (Havaianas knock-offs from China).

The bananas have the apples surrounded ...

Red onions for $R3,48 per kilogram - around $AUD2.25

Part of the coffee aisle - how could any good Catholic go past the 'Bom Jesus' (Good Jesus) brand?  Bom Jesus is probably a place name from memory ... anyhow Bom Jesus coffe goes for $R2,50 per 250g, as do some of the mere mortal brands.
