I went to Carrefour a couple of times while in São Paulo, and both times were overwhelming (in a…read moregood way!). There are a variety of goods sold, from clothes and household items to regular grocery offerings. It reminded me of a Target in the US with its many offerings. The store was easy to navigate. As soon as you enter through the main doors, clothing, household goods, and other non-edible products were on the right. The grocery store area is on the left. The main attractions for me at Carrefour were the Brazilian snacks and beverages. I had so much fun going through the aisles looking at the different cookies, chips, and juices. If you find yourself a little overwhelmed like I did, then plan two trips to Carrefour. On my first trip, I bought a handful of different snacks and juices to try. Then on my second trip, I picked up a bunch of snacks and coffees to bring home as souvenirs for my friends and family in Hawaii. My family and friends loved the various lime treats, the Guarana soda, chocolates, and the vacuum-packed ground coffees. Be prepared with your own reusable bags, because they charge a slight fee if you want to use their plastic bags! They also take credit card, which made buying snacks here very easy. Parking is in a large paid lot in front of the store. Also, do note that Carrefour is a chain store! You'll see them all over São Paulo and I'm assuming that they generally carry the same types of products. TL;DR - wide variety of snacks and juices, bring your own reusable bags, and Brazilian version of Target!
