Food prices in Trinidad and Tobago

[hover11]

All I know is if PNM wins again, groceries prices will rise and wages will remain the same then they will throw up their hands and say they can't do anything look. If you accustom eating two banana eat one.

i give my kid an allowance

does that mean I have a shortage of money

what im getting at is trinidad doesn't have enough foreign reserves or income to maintain our supposed "fixed" exchange rate. It is going to collapse spectacularly so in soon order

So businesses and adult Bajans hold equivalency to your kid and not say to free markets?

Cool!!

That is up to Bajans and their government. But it is essentially what the relationship is in that country as far as "free markets".

https://www.centralbank.org.bb/faqs/exc ... ntrol-faqs

oddly enough on that page,

There is no prohibition on any foreign CURRENCY into Barbados. Remember, however, that if you are a resident, you should surrender as soon as possible, any foreign CURRENCY which you may bring back from abroad to an Authorised Dealer for exchange into Barbados dollars. The exception to this relates to persons holding foreign currency accounts.

The Central Banks of Jamaica and Guyana have requested that under no circumstances should Jamaica and Guyana CURRENCY notes be encashed outside of their respective territories. E.C. dollar notes are freely exchanged by Authorised Dealers. It should also be noted that currency notes of Trinidad & Tobago are not currently exchanged by Authorised Dealers in Barbados.

that part in bold, could you explain that part?

We have a fixed exchange rate after all, the Minister of Finance said so !!!

That bolded part means our currency is sheit.

You all does check the expiry/best before dates on these so called “deals” before you buy?

When yuh old like me, you are always looking to save a $1.00 especially in the grocery.

Close to expiry dates would sell as BOGO. I always buy BOGO if I get it because I save a lot of money. Butter, cheese for example could "expire" on 22/4 and I would take it and put it straight in the fridge until I am ready to use it 1 year later!

Better Deal just had good prices on their stuff when I went yesterday. I saved a lot of money. Very few BOGO.

[MaxPower]

Well done blues.

Admire the ambition to save.

Max. that is how I was raised.

I used to walk to school to save the passage (0 .10c and 0.25c back in those days) to either invest or buy "tambran". LOl.

Why you coming here with your "stush" self?

Just because the expiry date passes does not mean it spoils.

[bluefete]

I could well imagine. A couple months ago Pennywise had a sale on Lindt chocolates in the tin. It was $100. I made my name as well!

Market prices pretty decent this morning

Baigan: 5lb for $15
Tomatoes : 3lb for $20
Cucumber : 4lb for $20
Pimento: 1lb for $20
Lettuce : from $5 go up
Water cress: $7
Melon:1lb for $3

[bluefete]

Watermelon selling by Lok Jack - $1.99/lb today - 1st vendor after the roundabout. The other one lower down was selling $3.99/lb.

FoodBasket:

Moo Chocolate Milk - 1L - BOGO - $27.00
Lays BBQ Chips - BOGO - $28.95
Small Solo - case of 24/$43.95

Errrm, I not sure if that Solo price remained the same after I passed through. I took a case and the register put up $60.00. I stopped the cashier one time. You ALWAYS have to check the register with their pricing. Cashier went and eventually came back after almost 10 minutes, with the sign, so I got it for $43.94. Not sure if she put back the sign after. LOL.
