Trinidad Doubles Robbery?

Question

Hello Friends,

As a worker at NFM, I will give you a small insight to what I would call 'Highway Robbery'

The flour that most doubles vendors use (45kg) has been increased by $60.00 Do you know how many doubles can be produced from a 45kg of flour?

Let me tell you. 1,200 doubles, yes twelve hundred and some good doubles vendors can get 1,500.

So let's use 1,200. If your 45kg bag of flour has been increased by $60.00….Do the math.

OK OK, let me do it for you….Your doubles went up by 5 cents.

Still want to buy doubles for $4 and $5? …..Feel FREE !!!!!

Answer 8

I usually buy two doubles on a Saturday morning....it's almost like a tradition now. BUT one doubles costs $4 now. Sooo....I try a smart thing. Instead of asking for two doubles at $8, I just ask for one "triple" which costs $5 but is just as filling. These days every d**n cent counts, oui.
