The Official "Grocery is Expensive" Thread

[bluefete]

I might get banned but say what. I will not call grocery names but I will call product names.

Okay Tuners. So I almost collapsed today when I went in the grocery and saw that a tin of Milo moved from $69.99 to $79.99 in one jump. A pack of Milo went from $17.99 to $25.99 in one jump.

That Swiss multinational is surely digging out our eyes.

What happened to the days of the $1. or $2. increase?

BTW - did not buy.

This thread will monitor price increases in the grocery and by how much.

Saw this increase as well. .. the milo itself is not the same ..you have to put twice as much to get a proper mixture. ..

I can live without but kids like their milo so parents will still buy. .

As long as there is a DEMAND, prices will always jump, especially when they think no one is checking.
As for the prices- stop Searching Hi and Low and look into smaller groceries........

Hmm go local buy sum good ole fashion coco blocks taste better too and more healthy

[clintus]

I work for a prominent grocery in T&T & I could say price hike is not they grocery fault. For example in the case of milo, the supplier will sent out a letter informing retailer of price hike also their suggested price they would like it to be sold at. I ain't defending no grocery as our salary still stagnant but jus saying they don't make prices changes on their own, it comes from supplier.

Prices more in some of the smaller groceries.

BTW - I only look Hi and Low for certain products under a kitchen brand name.

That is why I made reference to a Swiss multinational digging out our eyes.
