That aside, all the snacks really getting smaller and smaller. Lunch, catch, chocolate digestive etc....shrinking every year

^ Yip I buy the multipack Sunshine Snacks bag and the Ole pack is overall 1/2 the size than previously. The zoomers pack shrink and the zoomers themselves also smaller.

I think those "mixed packs" have a different production line. Retail snacks seem larger. Would explain why retail snacks are 3-4 dollars each but the mixed packs are 20 pks for $20 or $25

The coconuts in the backyard prices haven't changed. Still very free.

^ The other items such as potato chips, cheese balls and corn curls were in smaller packs but previously the Zoomers and Ole in the multipack were the normal sizes you buy individually

apart from d "reason" bags contain air to prevent oxidization another "reason" they say is to cushion d products from breakage during shipping\handling

if both is d reasons then how come stacked canister of chips like pringles or lays have very little air in it ...

Pringles and the Lays Stax are not chips..they are potato based crisps with lots of other added ingredients. Those things are processed and extruded with sufficient thickness and density to stack and package they way they are.

You can't do that with potato chips made from potatoes

[Chimera]

The stacked canisters protect them much more from breakage as well as it has nitrogen all around.

Things like caramel popcorn that are much harder to break usually have very full packs

Ahh yes Pricesmart the 1% grocery.

PriceSmart NOT the 1% grocery .

The grapes, coffee , pizza, the big screen 85 inches , toilet paper, dog chow are ALL competitively priced .

You have an incorrect perception or your card expired or Duane refuses to give you a BJ .

Yup, still some good value in annual membership.

Their fresh produce is usually failure though - at least in chaguanas. Super short shelf life, I prefer to get fresh stuff in the Couva Market.

I only keep a card because its costs me nothing as its a secondary card on my FiL's business account. Its the one where you get cash back on applicable purchases and the cash back pays the card fees every year.

In recent years lots of PM food items can be had for cheaper especially in the sales at groceries even the supposedly expensive ones like Massy. For example at Xmas time it was cheaper to buy Swiss ketchup in Massy than buying by the case in PM and earlier in the year Nescafe Gold was sold for almost a month at prices cheaper than PM as well.

Certain items they are still king buts in more on the non-food side of things.

If saving money on essentials makes me a one-percenter, I taking it with a hop and skip.

Does buying fowl at a pluck shop instead of a supermarket also make me a one-percenter?

You are correct PriceSmart has great deals in comparison to other club type retail outlets.

Peeps have sunk so so so so low ( or maybe income low ) that PriceSmart is NOW the enemy .

No one is defensive about posts lil pup - they just have a different view

Pluck fresh chicken is much better than supermarket chilled or fresh chickadee !

So if that makes you 1% peeps ..

Just do it !

Live your life !

So a box of white Crix was $40.00 in the factory BEFORE the removal of VAT in November 2021.

When the VAT was removed the price went to $34.00 a box.

In January 2022, when the price of flour was increased by NFM, the price of a box of CRIX went back to $40.00

I smelling profiteering somewhere.
