Exchange Rates for Jamaican Dollar Looking Good

Postby ECO » Thu Apr 09, 2009 8:29 pm

I've been watching the exchange rates for the past couple of months and my USD are still looking good when it comes to exchanging them for Jamaican dollars!

This evening screen print:

Based on speeding $1000 on Red stripes at $150 JMD each, the difference between 66.00 and 88.00= 144.666667 FREE RED STRIPES! For a 7 day vacation that equals 20.952381 free beers a day!

Sin prices are always stable regardless of what the market does <---I just made that up but it sounds good to me!

I think the cheapest I paid last year was $115 when it was 70 to 1 so inflation can't be that bad??????

Strip away sin taxes and name one price increase for any sin item in the last 5-10 years.

25 cent slot machines are still 25 cents and $10 blackjack tables are still $10.

A case of beer is still the same and the same goes for a bottle of cheap booze.
