Yes I think we can all agree that $100 for one bag of groceries is frikkin ridiculous!!! We’re totally grateful for the new car park Lindo’s in Devonsire but i would rather have affordable groceries to feel my family. And I don’t get me started on Miles….Market Place has mold and fuzz on their fruits and vegetables (gross)!!!
LMAO at MP having mold and fuzz on their fruits and veggies. So true.
Most people have no clue of all the steps a product takes from field to their shopping cart.

I won’t argue with that as most Bermudians don’t even understand government taxes
but let me tell you what happened to me last week .
The company that my bike comes from doesn’t seem to think it’s important to stock regularly needed service parts so I had to order some stuff that they should always have in stock. It took 7 months for half the order to arrive. When I just by chance dropped in to see if the stuff I had patiently waited on had arrived or not , they placed the order invoice on the desk in front of me while they went to retrieve the part (half the order). Of course I had to have a peek .. My part cost them $51.26 to land and they charged me $162.00 to purchase it ! Greed ? Unquestionably. It’s still lost on too many service providers that the old days are gone !
Guess what I’ll be doing the next time around .
Most people don’t really care as long as they’re not charged ‘all out friggin doors ‘ just to buy a few staples .
