Food prices in Trinidad and Tobago

And all you need is a membership that will cost you money.

Why aren't more people taking advantage of this hack??

This exact thing is $100 in pricesmart

It works for some...doesn't work for others...shrugs shoulders....I stopped wasting time shopping around for "best prices"...I shop where convenient to my commute. The time taken looking for best deals, you'd end spending in gas...to each his own

^^ Milo is Living in the rural area price.

Got banded Anchor butter 2 / 1 227g for $32 in Food Basket. Worked out to be $32 for 1 lb instead of $65.

Today better deal in Aranguez had the same banded offer for a slightly cheaper price.
I just bought most of it though.

There might be no more than 2 left.

What is for you is for you.

Got Kerrygold powdered milk (1800 g) 2/1 for $120.00 in Food Basket yesterday.

I find these 2/1 getting more expensive, eh.

Depends on if they have what I need.

Sometimes, you have to shop smart. Example - X-Tra Foods have Lipton (made in UAE) 100 pack tea for $50.00 - save $10.00 but I can get, at Big Deal in Aranjuez, a Lipton 104 pack tea - made in USA for about $38.00.

X-tra Foods has carrots 5 packs / $20 but Better Deal has 6/$20.

It depends on where you live. For some people, depending on where they live, Big Deal / Better Deal / Food Basket / Massy / X-tra Foods / Bicks / Bermudez / Solo / Tru Valu are all a 5 or 10 minute drive away.

Exactly, being a taxi driver allows me to shop in various places based on where I am for work, so it's like a convenient 2-4-1 situation

death,

The average typical dotish Trini will spend $40 in gas to save a $2 and wasting a set of time as usual and along with everything else.

A smart Trini will do as bluefete said. If unable, it will be a cost you will have to unfortunately bear.

[paid_influencer]

these days I shopping by the Chinese grocery opposite Gulf City and I get real real confused when I realize their prices cheaper than Massy

[death365]

i do .... pricesmart/ xtra foods / pennywise all in central.

1 set ah gas anything else is a chinese grocery bout 3 mins drive away

If you have a big fam and can afford it, it comes in handy when buying things in bulk

Statistically the average Trini does not live in a big household. In the last census the average size of a household was 3.3 which is almost 1 less than in 1990.

By now it's probably less than 3 as we have declining birth rates and the older generations in extended family households die out.

[bluefete]

^^ That does not mean you cannot buy in bulk, if you can afford it. My family fits the median but we buy stuff in bulk.

Works out much cheaper in the long run - but it really works better if you are single. LOLZ.

Massy MC!!!!!!

Massy was selling their sandwich loaf for $15.50.

The wicked heartless management, cut the sandwich loaf in half and selling it for $12.50.

Let it stay right there. Dey too wicked!

[paid_influencer]

counterpoint:

by me, we doesn't make to eat the whole loaf anyway

and $12.50 is less money than $15.50

1/2 loaf should be around $7.75-$10.00 (if this much).

X3000.

We would be surprised how much ability we have in ourselves to make it work rather than the complaining.

Wise decisions are mandatory in a challenging economy.
