Nuts aren't much different though, at the local health food shop which were the best prices we could find locally, Almonds and Cashews were $30/Kg (NZ$21) and Brazil nuts R$36/Kg (NZ$25).

Shopping and eating out in Curitiba seem to be a lot cheaper than in New Zealand. A main meal at a nice restaurant would usually be around R$15 or NZ$12 which is about half the cost of New Zealand.
$7.60 of vegetables
The amount of groceries we got at the local fruit & vege shop was unbelievable :-)
At the super market the prices aren't quite as good, but check out this picture of R$10.80 - that's NZ $7.60!
$3.80 of beer
Beer is much cheaper too! at a cafe or bar a normal bottle of 350ml bottle of beer like Heineken would usually be R$4 (NZ$2.80), and the 600ml bottles of local brands are even more cost-effective at R$5. Here's R$5 (NZ$3.80) of beer from the super market:
$14 of nuts - similar to NZ
Nuts aren't much different though, at the local health food shop which were the best prices we could find locally, Almonds and Cashews were $30/Kg (NZ$21) and Brazil nuts R$36/Kg (NZ$25). So this bunch of nuts cost just over R$20 (NZ$14) which I'd expect to pay a similar amount for in New Zealand - well maybe a bit more, but close.
