Haha, once you've adequately qualified the statement you're safe! 8-)

The price rise is good; just how they make cigarette and rum expensive, same for equally unhealthy fast-food!

What is a cruncher anyway? We don't have it over here for whatever reason.

[vaio]

a cruncher is a bun (baby bun now) with boneless thigh with lettuce and mayo...

the zinger is boneless breast with lettuce and mayo.......and this is very spicy....

[Ali]

a cruncher is just bread and chicken wit a lil piece of lettuce and a drop of mayo

Thanks, that explains it. Though, last time I ordered a Zinger in Trinidad, it came out all burnt and [h]ard and stuff. Shame, because it really is better. =\

[Ali]

where exactly is that :oops: ?

[KFCSpicy]

i go tell she

:shock: This boy like ting eh :roll:

Doh worry ah go fix she Ali thanks for the lil private message bout she. :evil:

[KFCSpicy]

my thing is. The last time I eat KFC was maybe last year after some shopping then Saturday I bought a special box or whatever dey does call it here. Wid 3 pieces of chicken 2 wings (half wing) and one crispy strip with a drink and large fries. I hate their fries so I does throw dem away or tell dem keep it.

I paid £4.99 for it the two piece wid de same additions is £4.19 so I say I might as well take a 3 piece and done. It was not all that good and as a matter of fact only one place in England I have ever eaten KFC like home and is in Andover.

13.5 to 1 pound means it still so and so expensive in any country.

KFC is over rated and I always laffing when I see Dave Chapelle making jokes about black people and their love for fried food and especially KFC. Why all yuh need to eat processed chicken and fried stale potato is beyond me thereby worrying about the prices of them. Fry yuh own chicken it healthier and cheaper and yuh getting better service from yuh own kitchen. :roll:

[vaio]

i go tell she

:shock: This boy like ting eh :roll:

Doh worry ah go fix she Ali thanks for the lil private message bout she. :evil:

ali does lie.....

i does fry meh own chicken....but now an then i still like to eat meh KFC

007.i will find out the price for yuh.....i thought it was $30....dunno///

[Solachica]

A feller who working kfc tell me tht kfc price expect it to raise again becos of the soon raise in gas prices.

[Somebody007]

now solachica, that comment just made me steups.....Trinidad is officially equalled to Jamaica.

[kemist]

With prices going up so often, people should at least demand better services. A few times i had to ask to speak to the manager at the kfc in valsyn junction. Once for ketchup and the another time for getting an order wrong.
The cashiers are also so slooooowww at every branch i've been(except for one time at the freeport junction branch).
My only reason for buying from from kfc is for the biscuits, but i prefer royal castle chicken, and i scorn churches chicken, but i like they honey biscuits.

[Somebody007]

I fine if the prices going up, at least KFC should give yuh some decent size pieces of chicken....ah bet allyuh dem chicken pieces getting smaller and smaller as the price raise ent....allyuh get robbed bad...time to resort to a doubles diet then?

[apple]

i eat some homemade kfc the other day.........that taste way better than kfc :mrgreen:
home made? :shock:

[vaio]

ok......007 the price of a snack is $20... :| ...went up from $18.50

[KFCSpicy]

:? I don't understand people saying they are only buying KFC because of the biscuits???? Then just go in and buy a biscuit or two you neeeeeeeed to get a whole snack box? Why Trinis feel they HAVE TO BUY...HAVE TO ATTEND...HAVE TO AND MUST DO THINGS? This is way beyond me is like all yuh have no individual personalities but just a colony mind set. You all aren't ants. Sigh! So flipping frustrating and then you all complain. Just don't buy it geez and ages who forcing all yuh to include Kentucky in all yuh diet? De government? Genetics? Or is it how it go look syndrome? If it is none of the former and is jess cause all yuh want de damn thing then please please please stop wid the moaning about the prices and just eat de darn thing and hush.

[vaio]

trinis are eatin more chicken...........

For this week alone, more than one million heads of chicken will be sold, compared with the average 725,000 to 800,000 heads, Poultry Association president and Arawak manager, Robin Phillips told Newsday yesterday.

[BW]

Meh, that's still cheap. I just checked the price of a snackbox here (2 piece w/ fries n coke).. $13.75 EC (which works out to around $31.60 TTD).

3 piece meal (w/ fries n coke)... $17.25 EC (~$39.67 TTD)

[Somebody007]

Ah only hope that it could remain $20 for a while.

[Sirius]

Sorry guys, having just returned from a retail outlet of the colonel's style of fry up dead fowl:

A 2 piece combo is $30. Kids pack is $20. Snack box is $18.50. Cruncher combo and Zinger combo is $25. The new salad combo they have is $30. Have fun.

[vaio]

cruncher and zinger $25.00........combo or sandwich... :?

[Sirius]

Combo...edited to suit. :)

[Somebody007]

How can a kids pack be more money than a snack box? Aren't you getting less chicken with the kids pack anyways? Explain please?

[Sirius]

I think I may have the name wrong...it is snack something though. I believe the one I am talking about is just a one piece...could be wrong though. Anyhow, what I posted is what they had up on their board...don't really know the details.

[vaio]

a munch pack has a drink, fries and one piece of chicken...cld be that....

Two pieces of chicken and a side order of fries will now cost $20, a two dollar price hike, while a combo or dinner special, which includes three pieces of chicken and a portion of fries and a drink, will put you out of pocket by $32 this season.

A five piece special, which comprises two portion of fries and a drink will now cost $50 and a 12 piece family special will now cost $105.

And the best part...


Despite the new increase, dozens of customers stood in line waiting to buy their fried chicken at the Independence Square, Port of Spain KFC outlet yesterday evening.

:lol: :lol:
They like it so.

[KFCSpicy]

Breddy,

This is a point we both agrree on. They complain to each other but they lining up to spend dey money still. Sheeps the lot of them. :roll:

[Somebody007]

It looking like I might have to stick to ah strict doubles diet when the day comes.

[vaio]

that willl be $4.00 per doubles james..... :|

[Somebody007]

$4.00 still cheaper than $20.00......I brokes to teef this rounds.... :D :D :D

[BW]

These people is something else yes. Now Royal Castle raise they price too :roll:

http://www.newsday.co.tt/business/0,72595.html


Both companies are now charging $20 for two pieces of chicken and a portion of fries, with similar ranges for its other combos. KFC raised the price of its three-piece, fries and drink combo, better known as its “Dinner Special” to $32.

Yea, so there goes my whole "buy royal castle instead" plan. :x

[vaio]

KFC price increased again. :|

And flour is set to rise.......we gonna pay more for bread and doubles :|

[Chicabonita]

Vaio, how much for KFC now?

[vaio]

i bought the dinner and its now $33.00..it was $32.00

don't know abt the other prices. :|

[neilrmp]

This may be a silly question, but how much is the average hourly rate. I just wanted to see how much is spent for the dinner box..

[vaio]

minimum per hour is $10.00 :ugeek:

[neilrmp]

OMG!, :o OK, that puts it into perspective, so I would have to work about 3.5 hours just to have KFC for lunch. I don't think I'll be having it very often.

[vaio]

:lol: :lol: ..tell dat to the hundreds of ppl who line up at KFC on a daily basis..... :D

[neilrmp]

I guess their ad, "finger licking gooood" still holds true. :D

[dancerboy]

I guess their ad, "finger licking gooood" still holds true. :D
I am not a govenor, but at that price ah will be licking something good, and i can assure you it wouldn,t be any finger.


DANCERBOY

[Sirius]

No use deciding you won't buy from this chain or that chain because of price increases. Everyone has to up their rates to maintain their profit margins. Cost of ingredients has gone up and that will affect any restaurant be it KFC, Trotters, Prime or the local doubles stand.

[kemist]

i wonder if subway price going up too :?

last week i paid $36 for a 12 inch chicken parm. sub.

price competitive with kfc.

[Falcon]

Kentucky Fried Cruelty..........good for a read at the PETA site..........nuff work going on in India.

[KFCSpicy]

Guys, why you all keep buying from them if the prices are beyond ridiculous and also the quality going down? Even when the people knew the prices were increasing, they still on the line to make their purchases without saying a word. I really don't get it. :| I am pretty sure if in a few months the snack box goes up to $50, people will STILL buying. :shock: :|
