How to Put Up an Inexpensive Christmas Tree in São Paulo
To stay within our tight budget, we chose a 90-centimeter-tall pine tree priced at R$ 21.90 as our base. We also picked up two boxes of traditional Christmas ornaments (R$ 11.90 total) and a set of bows (R$ 13.50) for decoration.
In addition to the ornaments, we bought a green garland for R$ 17 to add some fullness to our Christmas tree. And of course, we couldn’t forget the string lights: a string of LED lights cost just R$ 8.99, along with an LED star for R$ 15.90.
In the end, we spent R$ 99.99 to put up our Christmas tree on 25 de Março—and that amount even covered the cost of round-trip subway tickets.
