You could try. But shipping, insurance, freight , brokereage and govt duties and vat is staggering.

Try to price a washing machine and let me know what happens. I bet it is just easier for your to order from the local shop and get it delivered within a day or two.

I once saw these fellas with a bag of 50 lbs of rice at the airport, customs seized it as there was no permit from agriculture.

Also if you buy, let's say 50 lbs of chicken and ship it, you will never get the rate supervalue gets with a whole container out of Brazil, so there will not be much difference in price.

Years ago, I and 2 friends used to buy a box of 100 apples and share. The one who did the counting kept the extra apple. That is also a way to save if your weekly earnings is low, 4 or 5 people can buy a case,.

The wholesaler cannot markup execessively because the independent food stores might beat them.

To save money, I either purchase from the whosaler or wait for specials.

You can save money also by making your own pancakes, cookies and breads. Or simply cooking your own food. A deli sandwich or fast food package is at least $10 these days.

I tend to shop the stores where markup is about 33%. You can figure it out by comparing to amazon.

Those places that we call exoensive markup by 80% or even 100%.

Well One time the question arose about a computer which I purchased and I was able to produce a 5 year old invoice from amazon as proof and the email from the freight forwarder to show payment of vat, etc...

I say this because nowadays it is not paperwork only. Those emails with invoices and receipts stay there forever.

Also those notification emails for your credit card can be useful to show you paid your bill.

For 9000 per month, I csn volunteer too.

I drove by a setup they had outside mall at marathon. There were 3 tables. Three workers in medical scrubs were gathered chatting at one table. No customers/patients waiting.

People like free things.
Especially if they get cookie and orange juice after the shot.

Insensitive asses caused a lot of people to lose jobs, life, health.

It is sad. But covid is not ebola.

Since now people cannot discriminate on the basis of race, sex, gender. They have to improvise by creating an underclass of unvaccinated.

Right now in some countries the number of vaccinated with covid is greater than unvaccinated.

Here it will never happen because they keep the vaccinated deaths a secret.

Next week they will tell you the virus transmits between animals and will kill all dogs, cats, cows, chicken and goats.

We will have to eat tofu burgers and drink soy milk. Soy milk in itself is reason to commit suicide.

D Rolle is a pen name. This letter was written by Karen.

I wear a mask, but after 2 years of use the elastic is very loose, so it is just nose decoration to keep Karen away.

No mention that when the merchant landed cost increases, so does the controlled price.

The greatest shortcoming of humanity is is inability to understant percentages.

Tho the insurance industry and car industry are biased because of the price controls levied on them.

The price control is the bare minimum to keep a belly full, not much nutrition, but a belly full: tuna rolls which is bread, tuna and mayonnaise and mustard.
