Elenice, what are the best places to shop in São Paulo?

Well, it depends on the type of products you want to buy.
If I want to buy electronics, I go to Santa Efigênia street.
And if I want to buy kitchenware I will go to the 25 de Março Street.
Actually, the 25 de Março street is a famous tourist spot in São Paulo.
Many foreigners go there.

When you go shopping in São Paulo, can you bargain?
Can you negotiate the prices with sellers?

Yes, of course.
We can negotiate.
You get a discount when you pay cash.

What kinds of things are inexpensive to buy in Sao Paulo?

Everything is expensive in São Paulo,
compared to other cities in Brazil.
São Paulo is the economic hub
and the largest commercial center.
One relatively expensive thing to buy would be handmade stuff.
It’s a work of art and it takes time to make it.
