I once considered a business making jellies and preserves. But the glass containers were subject to 40% duty, and it is heavy to ship.
While mine was to be made with cane sugar, I would not be able to beat the commercial product made with high fructose corn syrup which is imported duty free.
the tariff on packaging is ridiculous. For example, bottles and jars. You wouild think that reduced duties on those would encourage local people to produce bottled products.
There are such nasties as teachers and coaches too.
i recall as a child being sent to line up at an important event. When the nun arranged the boys and girls in two files, it turned out that my pair was much shorter than I was and so she wanted to toss me and find a shorter girl.
Well I was proud of having been chosen and sent there and threw an epic tantrum. Epic. She gave up and my pair was much shorter.

So there are anomalies out there.

It is surprising that supervalue is actually beating prices from around town, as it is usually more expensive.
Here are some ways to avoid the high prices:
1. Bake your own bread. Can even do it on the stove top.
2. Stop buying drinks. Make ice tea from cheap lipton. With sufficient sugar and some lime juice it will be ok, and healthier than damn tampico.
3. Replace coffee with tea. The turks did during the world war and have never gone back.
4. Make peas and rice with extra peas.
I was going to say eat mackerel. But it tastes nasty and now is more expensive than tuna.
