We go see if daz true.
Wish I could apply to test the theory. I can't, but only becuz I personally abhor the very idea of accepting charity for myself or my people, let alone govt assistance, and I make too much to qualify and I couldn't lie to save meh life.

Once bodi and green vegetables at the fresh market eh go up.
But meats might go up though, because NFM animal feed?

Thankfully I stopped eating meat and now seriously enjoy vegetables. Has people in caroni does sell some seriously boss pepper roti, no need for meat it tastes so good.

Honestly they can send sh!t up how much they want I am not affected as I try to plant the basic vegetable trees that produce in huge amounts and very short space of time.

It is still pretty amazing how trinis waste forex on all these imported fruits that go to waste majority rotten out and nobody even buys them when we can have perfect alternative right here but nobody seems to give a damn

Unless you have land and trees, local fruits are more expensive that imported, so people usually seek more value for money.
5 half dead starch mango is 35.
Then you can get 6 apples/pear/plums for 20

The Ministry of Agriculture does some every month, I've done a couple they're pretty decent for both small scale agriculture and micro food processing

You can also check the (Nutrien) PCS Model Farm in Couva they have courses during the year as well

in the US it has the housewives association. when prices go up they band together and boycott. when NFM raise flour price just dont buy no blasted flour and let it rot in the silos and they will be forced to drop the price same as the local cement went from $60 to $43 when the next brand reach. it have places selling doubles $6 and men still buying like fools. i remember when all them doubles etc in debe went from $4 to $5 i stop buying one time and i never went back dey. same was ah aloo pie place in don miguel wen the price go up i never went back and when i pass i see less traffic there so idk if other people stop too but it surprises me how people who feel they "smart" does still pay $6 or $7 or ah aloo pie. someone tell me bake and shark is now $50 but i cant confirm, i remember during the christmas i pass and see real people line up to buy in the two hot spots up maracas an all dese people feel them is smart people, it had one family i saw on the beach that made bake and shark an bring it from home, dem was smart people cause no way in hell bake and shark worth $50 and it smaller i hear.

[redmanjp]

think i paid $35 at Richard's 2 weeks ago

[daring dragoon]

can anyone confirm that talk about NFM not going to receive the next shipment of wheat so there is no wheat to make flour in the short term.

is this why they extend the SOE to prevent riots ?

[88sins]

Didn't hear anything such, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.
I hear is a while now nfm hunting for cheaper grain supplies ( not just wheat, but corn, soy etc) and coming up short on finding any.

Worst case scenario, who cyah hear go feel.

[daring dragoon]

india might not be able to meet the quota

[daring dragoon]

[Rovin]

Rice prices escalated in grocery.

Passed through Better Deal SM today and saw them actually changing the price of Royal Rice (8kg) from $65.00 to almost $74.00.

That was the cheapest rice in that size.

Batten down the hatches people, the year is about to get harder and this SoE will not make it easier.

Time to ride out of here.

Who does go in the supermarket to buy 1 celery stick

I've never paid so much for a bag of pimentos lol where are you getting these images

[eliteauto]

Celery, pimento, in fact all seasoning is cheap right now in the market. If some shoppers feel the supermarket is the place to get their fruits and vegetables then by all means #teamspennyuhmorney

WTF is up with tomato prices? $25 a lb?
Here's the rub though, the foreign beefsteak tomato is $15-18, even the market guy/gal seemed perplexed/embarrassed by the local prices.

[timelapse]
