A Cuban woman living in South America has gained viral attention after sharing a TikTok video that highlights the stark price differences for electronics between Paraguay and Brazil. Her findings reveal that many electronic items are significantly more affordable in Paraguay.
"This video is for those who insist that things aren't cheaper in Paraguay compared to Brazil. I'm here to prove them wrong at a local shopping center," the Cuban woman proclaimed as she navigated through a store, showcasing various products.
In the video, posted on the account @yaicontigo, viewers are shown several items along with their prices. For instance, an air fryer is priced at $30 or 168 reals; a large rice cooker costs $17 or 95 reals; and electric coffee makers are available for $15 or 86 reals.
She also highlights mobile phones, such as the Magic 6 Lite for $270 or 1,500 reals, and a popular set of Hollyland Lark M2 microphones for $129 or 722 reals. One of the most striking comparisons she made was of an iPhone 15, which she claimed to have recently purchased in Paraguay for $675 or 3,800 reals, whereas the official price in Brazil would be considerably higher.
"Subscribe to my channel if you're interested in learning more about the deals available in Paraguay," she concluded in her content creator's message.
