Back to Doubles in serious!

[Ben_spanna]

Wayz....... its time for me to really forget about the alternative brekfass and go back to meh roots of d doubles.
Just bought a few pies this morning and couldn't believe the prices:

PAstry Cheese Pie is $6 for ONE, Sausage Roll is now $9 for ONe and spicy beef pie is also $6, yikes, is level doubles for me from now on oui!

[hydroep]

...and doubles is practically a complete meal too.

But you cannot really fault the "pie" makers either. Prices of some ingredients have increased significantly, for example a stick of margarine is $ 9 - $ 10 depending on the retailer (up from $ 7 last year... ).

[Sundar]

Doubles went up to $5..... El up north anyways. Down south is still $2-$4

[Dave]

1% prices again. Regular bakery prices are still relatively decent

[pugboy]

dunno how ppl could buy them dried up sausage roll

[redmanjp]

Doubles went up to $5..... El up north anyways. Down south is still $2-$4

How doubles vendors does earn a profit at $2 and $3 though, flour and channa cheap in south?

[meccalli]

How much for chadon beni, pepper and the other additives?

Doubles is NOT a complete meal

[Sundar]

Some doubles vendors provide multiple sauces at $4 others just put one sauce for $2-$3. Of course the debe doubles shed.

Time to start eating at home.

The market eventually balanced itself out with supply/ demand, cost of production/ purchasing power of the customer.


Where disposable Income Was significant previously, and people were content to overpay for certain niceties, they have dialed back, and a lot of services and products aren't as lucrative, or even profitable.
With so many layoffs, informal Business sector got a lot of people scrambling to make a living. Thus inflating the supply. U need to get competitive or u fold.

This is why increasing the cost of living by increasing taxation on the populace isn't the wisest way to stymy recession.




When u cut back on pie, the beef man gonna loose sales. Then he Hadda cut back on making market to reduce his spending. The market men will contract and cutback on doubles. Doubles men will Cut back on goods. Whole sale men will cutback and so on and so on.

Where have 1/3 sada for $8?
Everywhere has 1/4 for between $10 - $12 (veges only)

[Rovin]

used to have a place close to my shop that had that size & price but they close down , maybe due to landlord renovation or they was selling too cheap, i dunno how much others sell it for nowadays

even if is $10 i still prefer that than some oily doubles

a doubles is only 300 calories or so. is not as bad as people think it is

[sMASH]

1500 calories... Total.

[paid_influencer]

is battle of the nutritious breakfast on the go. There’s no cholesterol, but there’s high protein and less fat than a pie. Throw in some nice cucumber, mango or tamarind chutney and you even have some semblance of a fruit or vegetable for breakfast.

The doubles is the healthiest breakfast fast food locally, other than plain sada and veggies

[Sundar]

But I buy doubles on pos the other day and is plenty sauce and 7-10 grain of channa. ...

[shake d livin wake d dead]

As someone just said...time for allyuh to wake up half hour earlier and make yuh own sheit...saves a lot and is healthier

[pugboy]

microwave quaker oats and milk
1min or less

[Miktay]

Doubles for bfast iza healthiest road to bypass surgery....

[ck4star]

Oats, cinnamon, water that’s my breakfast at least 5 times per week, takes just a few seconds.

[meccalli]

Just skip breakfast. I eat at 1pm and 8pm. Lunch and Dinner. Doubles is extremely nutritious, the negative being the fried flour. A cup of channa is the next best thing for those who like it for breakfast.

[sMASH]

How I operate these days, it's just a drink before 5 for breakfast and lunch with a light dinner.

[skylinechild]

1% prices again. Regular bakery prices are still relatively decent

Actually by me they bakery price is really good - will buy some typical pastries and take pics with actual measurements.

in cases where the pastry small - the item is actually PROPERLY FILLED with whatever - cheese pie - beef pie...turkey and cheese....chicken...sausage roll.....

[streetbeastINC.]

Never heard anyone complain about cinemabun prices

[Sundar]

Doubles is not my breakfast but once in a way you could treat yourself. My wife is an awesome chef so I buy food twice for the month if so much.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I never buy breakfast or lunch...only time I eat out is if I liming...moms always say "once yah making groceries why buy food outside"...and I will pass this on to my children
