Prices in Brazil that May Surprise You
Water
Is Brazil expensive? If you consider only the water prices, the answer is certainly no.
Brazilians seldom notice that they are paying peanuts for things like water. It is a shock that many of us have when moving abroad. Eg: I always heard during my childhood that in Europe people don’t take multiple showers per day because it is cold or because they use a lot of perfume to disguise body odor.
The truth, however, is that bathing in Europe is expensive, while countries in South America at least can boast of having cheap water.
Some simple math:
Cost of a cubic meter (1000 liters) of water and sewage in São Paulo: R$4.54 (if you live in social housing, it is even cheaper). That is USD$0.87.
Water used in a 10-minute shower, with a modern showerhead: approx. 90 liters.
The average cost of water for a 10-minute shower in São Paulo: (90/1000)*0.87 = Approx. 8 cents of dollar per shower.
In Poland, the same shower almost 3 zlotys, meaning 77 cents of US dollar.
If I kept my Brazilian habits in Poland, I would spend 47 dollars per month on shower water only. The price of a shower in Warsaw is almost 10 times higher than in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro. In richer European countries like Denmark, it is even worse.
Lower water prices also decrease other components of the living cost in Brazil, like the price of flushing the toilet (something harder than baths to reduce the frequency) or having a swimming pool in your backyard. Even washing your car in Brazil is cheaper than nearly anywhere else because of the inexpensive water.
