Food prices in Trinidad and Tobago

[hover11]

For free delivery and the ability to make an online purchase, I would gladly pay more than $250 per year.

It's not "free" if you actually paying something beforehand for it though

That's a valid perspective. It just goes to further the point that member warehouse shopping is not for everyone.

Convenience and increase in gas prices is a true thing...just saying

[dogg]

Agreed.
For those living paycheck to paycheck, bulk buying could be challenging.
But for everyone else who manages their income effectively, bulk buying is a necessity, it saves time and money.

Pearls before swine.

What I'm saying is very simple....buy what you need and will use for a specific time period.

For instance we buy what we need and will use for a week to two week period.I go to a grocery where I buy both groceries and especially market items. Here's a tip..the plastic wrapped foodstuff lasts a lot longer that just buying them and putting them in a bag as you would do in the market or veggie stall but I digress.
The actual money saved from planning and buying exactly what we will use is reallocated to other areas of our lives during that two week period for eg bills and entertainment such as internet bill,electricity bill,a bottle of wine,a homecooked steak dinner, delivery sushi,riding lessons or saving for a vacation.

If I bought foodstuff for a month, how praytell do I pay my internet bill with a big block of cheese in my freezer or five packs of macaroni in my pantry? How do I fill up my cars with a gallon of cooking oil from my pantry or six packs of soap. The money has to come from somewhere so I will have to dip into my pocket to pay for these things on a daily basis while I have thousands tied up doing nothing for me in my pantry.

Buying in bulk for me is not worth it and you can't actually prove mathematically that you recoup the $250 you pay on a yearly basis for membership.I will never pay $250 or any amount for the 'privilege' of shopping in any establishment.

X2.

In this economy every dollar counts and if I have to pay to shop at your establishment then clearly it isn't for me. They increase their membership with no notice , first it was 200 now 250 what stopping them from reaching 500 ....just to say I shop at Pricesmart , no thanks is ok. That's 500 in groceries I will get on the outside.

I can guarantee you that what you just posted is the exact opposite of what about half of all shoppers and nearly every merchandiser or marketing expert will tell you.

pricesmart is for poosies and saps who are gullible an want to be seen in the "first world" type establishment. similar to a plain white tee shirt printed "radical design" is a big thing for some but idiotic for others as fruit of the loom is cheaper.

[daring dragoon]

Do so when you see high food prices and leave it the fuq right they. if allyuh buy real butter instead how the rest of the 2 for 1 butter hoarders go get? only margarine to get is the real creole flavor of golden ray in the pealau and broff. leff all them others on the shelf.
