DON'T accept the first price a vendor tells you. Bargaining (almost) always gets you a better deal, sometimes half of what the person initially wanted you to pay. This mostly applies to buying things on the street, but some stores are open to giving a discount if you pay in USD.

Take your own toilet paper with you wherever you go. Eventually you'll be glad you did.

If you overstay in Paraguay or don't have an entry stamp when leaving, a fine applies. However, immigration agents will accept less if you pay in USD or BRL or sometimes even EUR. You won't get a receipt in this case, but it's a lot faster and cheaper. No issues when re-entering the country.

If you're in Brazil and want to go to Ciudad del Este for a day or so, DON'T bother asking for an entry stamp. No one checks anyways and you literally have to ask the immigration agent if you want one

Public toilets usually aren't free and tend to be dirty. Depending on where you are, try expensive stores/hotels instead. Much cleaner bathrooms there and sometimes they won't even charge you.
