Best doubles in T&T

[Rory Phoulorie]

Why doesn't someone just provide a breakdown of the ingredients and calculate the cost (materials, labour and equipment costs)? Add a 15 to 20% markup for overheads and profit and see what is the final price. You could get the ingredients out of the NGHS cookbook.

Then you could go and complain on the Public Complaints forum of www.3nebarra4u.com or just shut up.

Most double vendors are of East Indian or Muslim ancestry and most East Indian and Muslims families believe in communal living with close and distant relatives.

I am not surprised if blue-collared workers are able to afford such sizeable homes and decently priced vehicles as most pool their resources and save over a span of several years.

At the end of it all, their children are the beneficiaries and most importantly, life KFC, doubles will continue to sell.

Damn straight.

it will still be the the cheapest, fastest source of food..

no way it will stop selling...not even slow down.

Guys, find something else to eat. While we are yet to know the cost of producing doubles, I am sure some of you will admit that you had to think twice when the price went to $4, worse yet if/when it hits $5. Why? Because it's seemingly unreasonable at that price. But because your pocket can afford it (what's an extra $3 for 3 doubles), you buy it without thinking twice. Consider that the price of doubles raised by 33% to $4, and now it's likely to jump another 25% to $5. What has accounted for the price increase by 33% in the first instance and another possible 25% in the second instance? Yes, the price of flour is set to increase by as much as 39%, but the likely $1 increase implies that the amount of flour it would cost to make one doubles is approximately $3.56. Currently, it costs only $0.30. So as far as I can see, the price of doubles is not justified, inflated, and ridiculous. We could be facing a price increase of 67% within 2-3 months (from $3 to $5). WHAT has brought this about?

I think I have mentioned all the ingredients/packaging components that goes into producing doubles, so if there's someone in a position to cost all the items, by all means, enlighten us.

[larafan]

so a doubles man cyah make money too???...everyone else rolling in money and working half as hard as ah doubles man....
