Brace For Very High Grocery Prices

[Redress10]

It might very well be easier to just buy the cow instead of trying to figure it all out.

Some people afraid of a cow , they cowherd

If I could get a cow and milk it everyday and pasteurise my milk myself I would do it. No lie

Goat milk better.

Mix with cow's milk and you will get " half and half "

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I AM 120% SURE THAT THIS GOVERNMENT WOULD BE AIMING TO TAKE OF SOME OF THE SUBSIDIES ON COOKING GAS....the mere fact that it was reported...it is definitely being considered.

now you all would see ridiculous food prices

Buyer's remorse.

[maj. tom]

heavy like filler like they used in WWII rationing? Fillers like potatoes, oats and wheat husks... to sawdust in Germany.

hear nah some of allyuh could overthink stuff seems only foreign could process milk, fresh milk is milk straight from the cow anything else is processed, be it homogenized or pasteurized and T&T does that well, so this whole " Not sure about the quality and safety in Trinidad and if belly pains will ensue after consumption" is either yuh have poor guts or fooling yuhself. University Field Station milk is delicious $25-30 a bottle, very creamy and has a rich taste even the 2% is not bad. Moo is supposedly 100% not reconstituted milk, it does taste creamier than say Nestle however I never tasted the 100% blue box from Nestle to do comparison

Where that selling for $25 ?

It is $60

It so creamy , you can add some to the bath water in the tub.
And play with the rubber ducky all night ..

You getting robbed very very badly, a bottle of milk at the UFS itself is $24, groceries go as high as $32, where do you pay $60?

Massy Stores .. You know formerly " Hi Lo "

And Goat Milk is $72 !!!

So we went to the Central Market and bought a Goat.
But when we came home we realize it had only one ear .
So we named him Van Goat .

High prices for Christmas.

[eliteauto]

this is where a smart and competitive business culture would benefit the consumer, instead we have collusion and cartels

No cartel can exist without the direct or indirect suport of Big Gubbament.

[bluefete]

High prices for Christmas.

Don't they dig out our eyes anyway, at Christmas?

This is an opportunity for the local producers to show what they can do.

There should be less reliance on foreign input for local goods.

[Chimera]

Any of you guys have a recent grocery bill they could post up? Like a full month end grocery shopping. Want to compare some stuff with local and foreign prices

[fireworks]

Corned beef powered milk and toilet paper real expensive in Walmart

[Chimera]

Lamb shoulder now $35 a lb up from $24

[shake d livin wake d dead]

as I said in the farmers ched...walk with money in the market...the most ridiculous prices I ever saw was this morning...this is what we need to expect from the measures and taxes put in place by this gov't

tomatoes : $18 per lb
baigan: $15 per lb
cucumber $12 per lb
pepper $2 for 1

and the sheit continues

Lol so I guess the fact that they traditionally use floods as a means to raise prices has nothing to do with it.

I meant to start a separate thread where you guys post up pics of items in the grocery and we compare prices. I made a rounds through
Tru Valu (trincity)
Food master (omeara)
Maharaj West side (Arima)
Xtra Foods (Omeara)
I tried to take as much pics as possible of similar items across the board I'm just really lazy to sort through them. If I know u guys will be up for this I don't mind getting it started that way we know which grocery digging out eye and by how much each month they plan on raising priced

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ that’s a good idea Boxy!
