Oh my oh my! I just got back from picking up a hysterical Mrs HB at Price Smart.
About five months ago, we re-structured our buying habits. One big buy at Price Smart, and the daily stuff, like veggies and meats on a daily basis. As some of you may know a LOT of people eat at the Hovel every day, so the numbers might seem high.
The first major purchase at Price Smart was a little over RD$6000. the Next was a bit over RD$7000, then RD$9000, last month was just a bit over RD$10,000. TODAY was RD$12,865!!!!!!!
The kicker was that Mrs HB didn't even buy everything on the list, like the 2 liters of Extra Virgin Olive Oil...BUT she buys the same things the same quantity every month.. That is nearly 80-90% up from just five months ago. this is criminal...She told me that everyone was saying such nice things about his baldness and his government!! But this is a really shook lady, let me tell you...
The one thing she has been saying over and over again was that the big can of cooking oil went trom RD$600 pesos to RD$1250 in one month!.....
I'm gonna have to get out there and find me some road kill if this keeps up!!
HB, who imagines that this is occuring all over the place....
