I don't. Since earlier in the year he has been price gorging! I go to his food stores every two weeks and have been watching the prices creep up to almost a dollar to two dollars on most items.... milk, eggs, yogurt, kelloggs raisin bran... just to name a few. I'm down to buying only the very basic items (when I am desperate) and just taking my business elsewhere. I suggest everyone else does the same.
What I don't get is how is it that Cost-Rite and other major retailers/wholesalers are able to pass the savings on to their customers and Mr. Roberts who owns several stores and no doubt also buys in bulk is so adamant about hiking his prices up. It reeks of greed!!
Yes. All of the above comments are right. Super Value has been going crazy for the past few months. Every two weeks when I shop the price goes up on something. Recently Activia Yogurt jumped from $8.99 to $9.99 and now its $10.49. Organic Milk is now over $7.00 and so is Kellogg's Raisin Bran. I've decided to stop giving them most of my business and now shop "where my money can spend". Cost Rite has these items much cheaper. I just don't get it. And VAT 'een reach yet"!
As for Lowe's everything has doubled! Their prices are now insane as well.
Anyone ever visited Texaco/Ribus Independence Drive (near the Town Centre Mall) lately? All of the snacks have doubled.
Why is this happening... and why aren't these prices being regulated?!!!
NIB is no example. Didn't their executives pay themselves huge bonuses from "our" hard-earned money? Whatever became of that situation? In many mind, VAT is just another excuse to rake in more revenue for the Government to continue to go crazy spending. I predict we will go further in the hole and their response will be to go up even higher on the rate.
I was thinking the same thing. Just goes to show how they cover these crimes. They want us to think they have crime under control when truth be told it isn't. Social media just exposed it. Further, why take the glory for stopping a crime when you did not know it would happen in the first place. The way the statement reads, you would think that the police knew the perpetrator was about to commit the act and intercepted him. Makes you wonder what else they cover. Hmph!!!
“They asked me if I was born here. I told them I was, right in the Princess Margaret Hospital. My parents are Haitian, but I born here and I am Bahamian."
These people are seriously deluded. I think they think this is the good old U.S of A.
