Of course, yes, you're absolutely right. Oil and margarine, in particular, are products that are consumed a lot here in Venezuela, so it's something I definitely need to mention. On the other hand, soda and chips like Pringles obviously don't belong in the basic food basket, but I took photos of those products to compare with those in Peru. I focused especially on my shopping list, which was just a few things for about 15 days, and that day we also bought some ingredients to make hamburgers at home, which is why soda was on the list. Now, for someone on a very tight budget, of course, soda and snacks shouldn't be a priority. They should focus solely on vegetables, mostly meat, and some carbohydrates like rice (that's what I do).
