In the above picture, the j$408 is for a kilogram, not a pound. A kilo weighs about 2.2 pounds. So the cost for the chicken above was j$185 per pound or us$2.18 a pound, nowhere near the us$4.00 you suggest. In fact, if you are paying j$250 to J$300 per pound, then you are actually paying substantially more than you would pay at MegaMart or HiLo...

Thanks - I sit corrected. I missed that - the local shop I frequent actually do weigh out by the pound, (I don't know why but they do) and we have a lady we buy fresh from (running in the yard at sunrise, on your plate at sunset) also by the pound for about $200 JD per. Mega Mart IS a good deal then. I think I will be making a stop.
