people hav to realize that even though prices of the raw materials like chicken, flour, rice, corn etc drop, that doesn't necessarily mean the private sector businesses who sell their food products can drop prices.

With inflation still at 15% they have to pay higher wages and highcosts for almost everything else while still maintaining profits.

Nevertheless, prices may drop in the future if this world recession continues as it is or gets worse, just don't expect people to drop prices (significantly) when inflation is 15%....its not going to happen.

George's double is still 4$ which I think is a bit high. But in the scale of other things in Trinidad is is not. A lot of suppliers will still have their flour stock bought at higher prices so it will take a while to see the effect. Some double vendors may use this as an opportunity to make extra money but due to the laws of economics the prices should come down.

My sentiments exactly. I haven't bought doubles since the prices "increases". I didn't say I haven't eaten eh, I just haven't purchased.

this thread is asking from the point of view of a consumer thinking that the supply price supposed to dictate the final price

if people were to start boycotting doubles, would the price drop ?

which of the 2 above scenarios is more likely to cause a drop in price ?

A man on TV was asked if his break prices are going to drop. He said "No... we still have old stocks at the older, higher price" (to paraphrase)

So why did this same ass raise his price IMMEDIATELY last time, even though he has the a lower priced stock that wasn't finished?

Its a complicated question. Depends on so many factors. I think if the supply price dropped and his competitors dropped their prices as well then he could be forced to drop his price unless he is selling some super doubles.

As well, $4.00 a pop for a doubles could start to compete with other foods, a bagel perhaps or a sandwich. At this point the vendor may want to consider lowering his price to regain his market share.

But ultimately I think the consumer will dictate the price of the doubles, simple demand/supply. They will know the value and what it is worth, doubles will always have a place in our market mostly because of its taste and value. Once the price reaches that tipping point you will see a reduction or plateau.
