And many duty rates the Christie govt lowered to make up FOR VAT have been taken back to 45 percent .

The govt gives up nothing, as regards to the bread basket items and the margins for gas dealers.

The IMF sees through this KAKA though

Well, I suspect Super value lowered the turkey prices after Solomon's released theirs.

Super values fruits are rotten.

Only way to save is to shop both by comparing and to build your purchases around price controlled items.

The condition of Solomons' old trail is disgraceful, they eliminated a lot of freezers and there are a lot of shortages.

Solomons also advertises cheaper stuff which is not in stock, so you waste a trip.

The pricing in big businesses is done by software. The smaller stores are way more likely to increase the prices.

But notice the govt often collects more in vat and fees than it collects in duties.

People are better off eating peas and rice than eating ramen.

Sadly this is an uncouth trait, common enough to be cultural.

I avoid participating in any potluck events because people will approach you and give a verdict: 'needs sugar', 'needs salt', or even worse 'I don't like it'.

I always used to thank people for preparing the food and would never reveal if I did not like something.

The program is a start. The tuna is the healthiest option.
