      this month onwards my fishmonger start to cut and weigh the cod fish. last time, he used to sell all $5/pc standard. and you get smaller pc for the same $5.


      i think it's just dif way to justify cost uplift
      Do you know how much your fishmonger charging per kg of cod fish? Mine just increased price again yesterday, like the 3rd or 4th time this year. Each time $3. :mad:

              So equation of price of cod fish is $X + ($3 times 3) = $ per kg? πŸ˜‚

                  for codfish, wait for Giant offer. Then buy whole codfish - share with siblings. cheaper, instead of buy small individual pieces.


                  if cook at home Mon - Sat, roughly how much per week is spent on 1 week marketing buy ingredients ?
