Ain’t buy milk in years. Most of our milk is watered down reconstituted sheit anyways. Paying more for lower quality

[hover11]

Milk not even good for you, the human body doesn't need milk especially that box crap they selling on shelves with long expiration dates

timely topic because recently I was start to get vex at all these food places prices. Big big money they calling and the portions getting smaller and smaller. Every "deal" that KFC launch is literally just a rebrand of the regular menu and only small leg and thigh and fries yuh getting. $39 for that !

Today I finally gone a place called Caribbean Cuisine off high street and the food was okay, but the real star was the portion size. I buy a box for $45 or thereabouts and get nice big big bake chicken leg and thigh, plenty rice portion and plenty pasta salad portion. Real line too, some people saying wheey not so much, doh take out so much- but the server saying that is the portion size. Big portions! I get my money's worth for that $45. I honestly feel for the first time I seeing Christmas now after I eat my belly full with that box of food.

Notice that food biz rellllll competitive now eh. Remember no biz eh happily making a loss eh. You know the days when chinee restaurants used to refry chicken, rice, etc? and only for lunch time they hitting yuh the fresh food and pelting Yuh with old food rest of the day? Chins eh the only ones doing it. When Yuh deep in the bess deals with food, do ah lil analysis, don't just lash ( ah know Yuh belly empty at that point but take a second). Sometimes you realise is old food you now get mix in with the freshly cooked.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Prices in the market were lil stiff
Garlic: $20 per lb
Tomatoes(imports) : $20 per lb
Brocolli: $15, same for christophene
Lettuce:$8-$10 depending on size
Pimento:20 for $10
Cucumber: $7 per lb

[pugboy]

local tomato prices came down drastically last couple weeks
seems farmers got good yields with the less dry weather

massy have a good deal on frozen veggies pack incl broccoli, good quality and works out way cheaper than buying fresh

[dogg]

I Don't shop there at all BUT I Went Tru-Valu yesterday just to get the 3lb Butterball boneless breast turkey for $99. Massy selling for $175, Better Deal and X-tra Foods for $150.

[alfa]

I feel it for you bro. That is about 78% more. Dang.

Sometimes, it is good to wait or shop around.

[pugboy]

those boneless ones are glue hams
interestingly you cannot don’t find glue hams in other countries
at least from google search
you will find boneless hams which are ones where the bone was removed but not the glued ones

why is ham so much cheaper than fresh pork?

[paid_influencer]

is glue healthy to eat?

[DMan7]

I ain't know about that one, but I heard ppl does sniff it.
