Shopping in ancient societies

Shopping can be traced back to many civilisations in history. In ancient Rome, there was Trajan's Market with tabernas that served as retailing units. Shopping lists are known to be used by Romans as one was discovered by Hadrian's wall dated back to 75-125 AD and written for a soldier.

What is the average rent for a kiosk or shop in a shopping mall in Trinidad?
Q. What is the average rent for a kiosk or shop in a shopping mall in Trinidad, and where is it located? Which mall do you think is the best to do business and why? Thanks!

A. For West Mall, you can start at $10,000 (TT) per month, in probably the worst location. I believe $15,000 is about the average for the decent spots. West Mall is on the upper end of the scale, Long Circular should be a fair bit less, but there are a *lot* of kiosks there. No idea about Movie Towne or other Western malls (or anywhere else in the country). Actually, I do remember a friend who rented a decent kiosk in Trincity, near the old Hi Lo entrance for about $7,000 monthly. This was atleast 3 years ago however.

How can I make grocery shopping less tedious?
Q. I hate going to the grocers. It takes me about 1.5 hours to do the shopping. If they didn't have this loud music at the stores, I would take my MP3 player. Any ideas or tips?

A. I actually really LOVE to go grocery shopping, but maybe that's because I am trained as a chef. Having come thru some really difficult times in my life, I feel incredibly greatful to have enough money to buy healthy foods that are good for me and my family. I also appreciate air conditioning when it's 80F or higher outside and so muggy that I feel I'm swimming in my clothing. For me, produce is incredibly beautiful to look at and to touch. I find it completely inspiring to imagine what meals I'll make with it for the ones I love when I get home. I find that if I can focus on beauty, gratitude, inspiration, art and wonderful food, that these things make all the difference in my world. If I could just find some inspiration in the huge… [cont.]

What is a good bag to bring on a shopping spree?
Q. I am going on a shopping spree in Florida and I plan on only bringing a carry-on. I need some good, strong yet small and portable shopping bags I can fold away neatly and tuck away in my day pack.

A. Hi, Probably the best thing you could do is buy a sports duffle bag in Florida to transport your goodies back in. However, if you just want bags to take around the stores while you're out shopping, have you got over in the USA the P.E.T. recycled shopping bags? They are available here in Australia at our supermarkets and they fold down into 4" x 2.5" size that you can pop into your purse or handbag. My wife bought one the other day and it was great. We forget to take a bag with us out of our car and she remembered she had bought it and got it out of her hand bag. They are strong, flexible and very light. Plus, they are made of recycled materials, so it's helped the environment. My other suggestion is to check out your local… [cont.]
