Money, why it isn't fair (Please Read)

In Jamaica you can get a steak and kidney pie for €1.75, a chicken and mushroom pie for €1.60 and an apple pie for €2.15.

In St Kitts and Nevis a steak and kidney pie will cost you €2, a chicken pie (without mushrooms) is €1.70 and a cherry pie can be yours for €1.95.

In Trinidad ,Barbados ,Tobago, and Dominica that steak and kidney pie comes in at €2.50, but you can two for €3.50, while the chicken and mushroom pie is €2.25, or two for €3.25. They also offer meat and potato pie for €2, or two for €3. Their apple pies and cherry pies are often sold for €2.75, or two (any combination) for €4.75.

Those are the Pie Rates of the Caribbean.

The prices are different because they come from different economies and different social statuses can really be a determining factor when it comes to money being distributed, an example would be a town that is divided by uptown and downtown, downtown being more populated and cheaper and up-town being less populated while prices are slightly higher.

There are many different types of examples other than the one I have given you guys but that goes to show why prices may differ because if you are a low-income family you probably would probably get food from a grocery store to eat or maybe go to a fast food restaurant, but if you are a high-income family than you would probably go out to a regular restaurant for meals, this is just an example of typical low and high-income families even though some may even be a little different but that is so you guys can get the overall idea.

Those are actually quite close prices compared to other places, especially if they are sold by different companies, so have slightly different ingredients in slightly different quantities.

Here in the UK, just a fairly simple thing like chips (UK chips that is) can vary massively in price - I've seen some places selling them for £1, and some selling them for £4, even though the £1 portions were bigger, and other than that they were the same.

It's all about how much they can sell them for and still have people buying them, so if it's in a place that you can easily get food (like in a town centre) they would be cheaper, while if they were sold at some event, or by the side of a motorway, they would cost more

Well... It's talking about a very valid point that money isn't equal from one place to another, idk if it was intended as a joke (if it was, I don't see how it's funny ), but even if it was, its still an interesting thing to discuss, so why not

Ooooohhhhhh...
Phonetic puns dont work too well on a text based forum when you dont read out loud (or at least imagine reading out loud in your head)

Edit: Does that make me text fluent? As in I dont need to translate written words into spoken words to understand them, just see the words and understand the meaning directly

Double edit: I just looked into it and imagining reading in your head is called subvocalising. Around 85% of people do it, and learning not to can increase your reading speed, as your not limited by the speed of your 'internal voice'

As someone who lives in Barbados and buys pie in bulk, when I need to buy i actually take a boat ride over to Jamaica to save money.
