Since then we have had three friends come to visit and each one has brought a bumper crop of bags with them.
OK – I think we have this desire covered. Thanks everyone. It will be 6 – 10 years before we can use up all the zip-lock bags we now have.
We do enjoy taking food to a party in one of these bags. Then when we return in weeks or months thereafter we see that same bag being recycled within the household. Sharing the love.
I think we should put a call out for a different household item. Hmmmmm… We already have vacuum bags for the next couple of years. We could really use a new Dust Buster vac. But you know – and this will come as a bit of a shock to US readers, while being totally understandable to Brazilian readers – just plain plastic wrap in a box with a serrated blade would be a joy. Here the plastic wrap is infinitely thinner and more sticky and comes without a dispenser box. It’s like trying to find the end of the cello tape on the roll every time you want to wrap up some leftovers.
Not complaining – don’t get me wrong. I’m just putting it out there. Next time you visit, bring a few rolls of Saran Wrap. Make a guy happy.

This post made me laugh. The saran wrap here is something else, and tupperware/general food storage is very very expensive. It's amazing, I was stockpiling hair & soap products for my move which have turned out to be the cheapest thing yet.
Tricia - I still can't believe my eyes when I see that a crappy version of an ironing board costs R$99,00 -- what's that about!?
I just keep repeating: "don't compare... live local..."
I like the plastic wrap here more than the states, hate the alminum foil, and after 7 years sill bring back ziploc bags in multiple sizes.... I recycle them in house for months.... before throwing one out. I have to bring hair products with me also.... my hair is fine and straight and all here has conditionor in it....I need a good ironing board for rio - a cheap one there is well cheaply made and about 169R in cost....
