Good idea Boxy.

I use windows paint to reduce the size of the photos. Open the pic on windows paint, click "resize" on the upper left and put in a value below 100 in the horizontal and vertical boxes. Values over 100 is enlarge, below 100 will reduce the photo size and file size. You will see the file size at the bottom of windows paint in the middle.

Pretty sure there are better options like doing all the files at once but windows paint can start you off. On tuner, keep the file size below 2mb each and you can add 8 photos per post. As you have 50 photos to upload, you posting 6-7 times.

Yeah MS paint is a great and free option it works very well.

would love to see pics of grocery prices to compare, from what i hard low cost is the best place to shop their prices are much lower than most places. In the grocery on my side they want $12 for a pack of moo milk full cream, I was paying $9 earlier this year. Not sure the reason for such a huge increase, my neighbor told me he pays $7 for this same pack of Moo Milk in Low Cost can anyone confirm?

Use the free TriniTuner mobile app. It lets you easily add photos from your phone.

Wonder if someone can develop a Grocery Price app? Verified mods could enter prices for different products at different groceries. We can have historical data of price and percentage changes.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

I know like if grocery is selling ice they pay $5 for a bag wholesale and they sell it back for $8.

Aeromart Supermarket in St Helena sells the 800G Kerrygold powdered milk for $52 where as K&G Mini Mart up El Carmen sell the same milk for $48. I check the Chinese grocery opposite madrass road and they sell stuff for about 50 cents more than Aeromart.

I do not think you are going to get any big difference for majority of items they are the same price in nearly every grocery.

Nice idea boxy! If it's not too much trouble, maybe you can create an excel spreadsheet and upload it to a file hosting site that allows you to update the file and post the link here.

[urabus]

The ministry of Trade has been producing this for some time now...it's the prices of selected food items at various supermarkets throughout out country

Already tried, launched and failed. Have a better chance if they developed one for market products etc.

So Moo 1 litre milk and Nestle milk basically the same price. The funny thing is that Moo! is imported so have to pay duties and taxes etc and add mark up in order to make a profit whilst Nestle paying farmers shite for their milk and still digging out people eyes. Wa really going on in this country bai

[hydroep]

Honestly, some of the locally produced milk looks and tastes like extremely watered-down emulsion paint...

Moo is OK so is the Bajan produced Pinehill, the latter was $ 11.95 per litre at last check (JTA Supermarkets).

[Kronik]

Well sheit

I started to record prices last month on a app named price cruncher when I went price club in Chaguanas, and two days later I came across the ministry list which has price club in it, and most of the prices I had were the same.

In another note, I compared my recorded shelf prices vs the process on the bill, that was interesting, because some items had cheaper shelf prices than on the bill and some items had cheaper prices on the bill vs the shelf prices, so it kinda of balanced off.

But you all should try it, record all listed prices of items you buy, and compare it with the bill, try it at least one time

Milk is still zero rated for VAT IIRC so it would just be duties.

But this is where economies of scale applies. Even though we may be producing milk here, larger more technologically advanced nations are also producing milk and at prices that even with shipping and tariffs etc. is still cheaper. In this age of cheap oil, logistics costs would be much cheaper than a few years ago so that arbitrage on logistics is lessened.

As Jack Welch the former CEO of GE once said - "If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete"

The prices were the final prices, the variances were by a couple dollars both in a good and bad way

super quality in trincity is one of the better places to shop in that area
occasional deals, prices better than massy

Everybody price is better than Massy. I don't know why they sell groceries particularly locally manufactured stuff at premium prices.

I have a relative who works for Massy stores and he self say Massy too expensive..
Well I'm from south I usually shop at Anand low price or jta or even ms foods on debe..Massy is usually like a last resort

[pugboy]

hilo is noticeably more expensive but a business example that if you have a good brand, well organized store and generally clean environment you can still make money not on price alone
