Welcomed move but still early days. This was the review some customers and management from supermarket chains reported today, as the Value Added Tax (VAT) on certain items on supermarket shelves were lifted at the start of the day as promised by Prime Minister Mia Mottley.When a team from Barbados TODAY visited the Popular Discount outlet in Spooners Hill, St Michael during the midday period, moderate traffic was seen as some consumers did their weekly shopping during their lunch break. One supervisor from that location said business was good during the morning period and that some customers had made their way into the location to take advantage of the reduced prices on selected goods.

Fraud case goes before Chief Magistrate
Article by June 9, 2021
A 26-year-old St Michael man has been remanded to Dodds prison for 28 days in connection with three fraud charges allegedly committed in two jurisdictions.
It is alleged that Kemo Avery Grant, from Rogers Road, Grazettes dishonestly obtained $398.49 in goods from BJ’s Value Market Inc trading as Popular Discount, with intent to permanently deprive the company, by falsely representing that eight $50 Popular Discount vouchers that he produced were good and valid orders for payment.
The offence is said to have occurred in the District ‘B’ Oistins jurisdiction on February 4. No plea was taken on that offence when Grant appeared in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court before Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes.
