Food prices in Trinidad and Tobago

I don't think the farm eggs are fertilized at all. They have layers chickens doing that job where they ovulate every day by releasing an oocyte from the ovary and it forms an egg within a day and comes out.

Embryo development for fertilized eggs doesn't start below 27°C so they have to sit on them to keep them at the correct temperature.

I used to buy Silk Almond Milk 2 pack in Pricemart before the pandemic. When I saw the price at $53+ I decided that it is too rich for my blood. Now it is $96.95.

[Dave]

You ever tried buying from Hadco directly?
We did during COVID as we figured pricesmart would have been crazy.
Was closer for us and I do believe a bit cheaper.

I saw "Natural Almond "almond milk at Food Giant maritime for less than $30 each.
I don't use it though. So I can't vouch for the quality.

[Dave]

I can tell you what the plan is.
Move in your yard, make chirren and stay there permanently.
Nuttn really wrong with that eh, just be mindful that chickens can sometimes carry lice, and if they have those parasites and they nesting in or close to dirt that don't get sun, them lice will become a real problem real fast

[DMan7]

^ And he go soon have to pay child support for children that isn't his?

daz tru?

So this morning I see on the feeds Massy have frozen ocean delight strimpses 4lb for $60. So I rush this morning to buy up some because that brand frozen shrimp is a consistently good product.

WHen I reach, yuh know they saying is a typo and that is really ONE lb for $60!!! When I check back the feeds they change it quick quick to one lb. BUT the signage in-store was still there (see the pic i pulled from FB)

[DMan7]

^ But how could 1lb of shrimp be for $60 and be called a SALE? Makes no sense to me. You get 4 lbs of shrimp for $100 by the vendor.

[pugboy]

in other countries legally you can hold them to that or they get charged with false advertising

[dogg]

Yeah, but then you have to spend 2 hours cleaning and de-veining 4lbs of shrimp and smelling up the whole house. I rather pay for those 2hrs I'll never get back!

[DMan7]

Them could keep that dey eh. I go buy my 4lbs for 100 shrimps by the vendor.

[pugboy]

those packaged strimps are treated with a phosphate solution
tasteless

It is called Massy - that's why.

Wifey went Massy and paid $60.00 /lb for kingfish last week. And the fish slices thin, thin like turkey bacon.

I was seeing all colours of the rainbow, especially the blue vex one.

Imported fish steaks yea .

Don't forget carite and king fish was 10 to 12 to 15 for several months around and before divali.

I waiting for them time to stock back up again lol

[pugboy]

once fish fresh and cleaned properly and any thick bloodline removed and wrapped in glad wrap
it will freeze for a long time

[maj. tom]

If the fish get bleed out via the tail vein as soon as it was caught it doesn't spoil or sour as easily even without freezing. Just like how we slaughter all other animals with a backbone for consumption. Fish however, we suffer them by asphyxiation which makes everything sour and haram.

Another point of why we should only consume halaal meats.
