President of the People’s National Party (PNP) Patriots, the Reverend Paul Blake says Jamaicans have been forced to take their calculators along with them whenever they go grocery shopping because of the frequency of price increases.
Blake made the charge on Sunday while addressing the public session of the PNP’s 88th Annual Conference at Independence Park in Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland.
“Too many Jamaican families are now living in fear of the supermarket. People are walking with calculators in the supermarket, they are picking up and checking the price and they are putting it back,” said Blake.
