  1. Bim’s prices for electrical items for eg. a computer is 3 x the cost of computers in the UK. Flat screen TVs are expensive in Bim, in fact most things are over-priced when you work out what the same item costs in another country and the salary of a good majority in Barbados.

    Supermarkets in Bim have begun deals of buy 1 get 1 free/half price and SHOULD be able to pass on savings to customers because they buy in bulk but there’s rarely any deals in the Supermarkets or in High Street sales.

    In having one price for Tourists and another for the locals is “unbalanced”….Tourists can afford to visit and pay the same price as locals or vice-versa but no customer should pay more for an item than another….thats discrimination. Does this happen all over the caribbean because it doesnt in Europe.

  2. I agree 100 %, one of the biggest problems here is the size of the market everybody know each other and the market is small so there is not really any competition you had to pay the price or live with out and it doesn’t matter what kind of product we are talking.

    1. So true Dr Tull,but we can only voice our concern and hope one day that the people will understand and talk positive steps to address this very inportant issue
