WTF!- $43.00 a lb for food now!?

[pugboy]

Per pound is big business
The working class like to eat good and willing to spend the money
You will never see 1% or hardly any Chinese eating at per pound places....

[sMASH]

allyuh see on fb, the guy selling tomatoes and baigan 5lb/20?

from rio claro....

the amount of dig eye goin on up north, is like everybody might be looking like zetski profile pic...

[X_Factor]

generally all produce is average priced or below average except for hot pepper and pimentos at the moment

imagine spending 43$/lb for $1.50 potatoes that has been boiled with salt and some grated cheeze

those breakfast sheds that sell the sada roti,
ideally their prices should fluctuate based on market prices

[Gem_in_i]

1/4 sada roti is how much? $5?
Saw in jta ytday, 2 dalpurie for $19.95

[paid_influencer]

1/4 sada is $10-$12

you mostly paying for rent, not flour or tomato.

[nervewrecker]

Viaa in marabella sells for by the pound, I can't remember the price, but I think it was like 20 something a pound

Food is not bad actualky.

I still find smokey joes is the best

[randolphinshan]

Negative keep your tyres to breed mosquito or throw in river to cause flood. This is Trinidad nobody going to do one facking thing, we are one set of blow hards and posers.

Just now price gonna be 50 dollars and line gonna be longer. All they will do is blame Rowley or Kamla

Me I done say I grow my own food and ganga and hunt manicou so facking those food place and delete police to, we waste the most money on TTPS

[pugboy]

as I said before, why is it you never see 1% or chinee buying food per pound ?

[gencon]

i going and buy chinese yes. $36 and you a big container ram packed with food. 10 piece ah chicken.

where that place in Duncan village that selling roti for $15??

[88sins]

as I said before, why is it you never see 1% or chinee buying food per pound ?

cuz, u could ask this question till u turn more blue than papa smurf Trini chupidees will still take the bait.
You can teach almost anyone almost anything, but common sense isn't one of those things that can be taught, & fools aren't readily capable of learning.



But price nonsense aside
Ever notice, most ppl will eventually get some srs belly wuk after buying food at one point in time in their life or another form one place or the other, but you hardly ever hear anyone say they got sick from something they made at home?
& even after getting sick, they will continue to buy food. maybe not from the place they feel/know they got the runs, but they won't stop or cut back on buying food outside instead of preparing their meals at home.

Common sense....why go to the grocery every month and still buy food everyday?

[rspann]

I have some workers coming from Penal everyday and all six of them are walking with their roti and talkarie everyday. They eat some in the morning when they arrive and the rest at lunchtime. They buy a soft drink to wash it down . I guess they don't know about food by the pound. They all own their own homes though ,I guess it's paying off.

And the pnm approach to that isssssss,, tax deh MC.


Mai goal is to reach that point... Kinda half way there... I buy food like 3 or 4 times a week.. Want to cut that back even farther.

Ent ? I have workers from north who buy breakfast, lunch and dinner. they are the ones who take money every day though.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

A decent bkfast is about $25 with a drink...lunch about $40 dinner the same....let's say $100 a day...do the math...idk how people does do that nah...

Then there are those with the 7-10 year loan for the cerato and accent but drinking lipton bkfast lunch and dinner then watching yuh sada like corbeaux around a dead dog..

[pugboy]

Eat little live long

[rspann]

Eat little live long

it works.

[gencon]

genetically lentils are great for me. i put plenty okra in it when i pressure cooking it, the lentils help normailise my cholesterol and the okra staves off diabetes.

[De Dragon]

I make almost all my own food. When I do buy outside, its with the family mostly dinners. I like to know what's going in my food where I can.

Food by the lb is always geared towards profit and masked by the marketing of giving the consumer choices on variety and quantity. Last week in siparia a lunch consisting of macaroni pie callaloo stew chicken and fresh salad with a drink costed $31. weighed about 1 1/2 lbs. Food was freshly made and was good old home style cooking. Outside of POS lunches are much cheaper and many times better quality.

[goalpost]

The place in trincity mall by Jmalones selling food for 45/lb
