Carrefour is a multinational supermarket chain that got its start in France. Brazil is its second largest market, but they can be found all over Europe & Asia as well as in South America. This particular store is a blessing & a curse. They carry some international items that you can't find in other supermarkets and the store is huge. They carry all the normal grocery items as well as housewares, which are usually priced reasonably. The home appliances (refrigerators, washers etc.) and electronic items are usually on the expensive side compared to other stores. Make sure that you pay attention to the prices because sale items can be very cheap, but non-sale items are usually much more expensive compared to competitors.
This location also has a gas station, and this is really a great reason to come here, because they always have the lowest prices in the metropolitan area. read more
