This week we checked out Tesco Lotus, in addition to TOPS and Villa Thong Lo.
Price Changes
TOPS - Big red chillies 270/kg (280 early May), Chinese Morning Glory 88/kg (90 early May), S&P Frozen Meals were marked down to 50 baht from the usual 55 baht.
Villa - S-Pure Pork Shoulder now 215/kg (200 in April), Talley [...]
This week’s trip to TOPS Bangna and Villa Thong Lo.
We had some stuff to do at Central Bangna so we did some of our weekly shopping at the TOPS supermarket there.
They renovated the place with a view to attracting more of the growing expat community in that neck of the woods, and now stock more [...]
This week’s trip to TOPS and Villa Thong Lo.
Price Changes
TOPS - Bird Chillies are down 20 baht/kg to 260 baht, Straw Mushrooms are 169 baht/kg (195 baht in early March), Teajiw Fried Fish Cake is back up to 30 baht/pack (25 baht previously), Scott toilet rolls are 4 baht cheaper for a 6-pack (65 baht [...]
This week’s trip to Villa Thong Lo.
The price contractions that the Central Bank referred to do not seem to be much in evidence, even for basic stuff like pork and chicken, and there are only price increases to report this week.
Price Changes
S-Pure Chicken Breast (Skinless) up 5 baht/ kg as expected, which makes chicken at [...]
This week’s trip to Villa and TOPS Thong Lo.
We were not planning to go to TOPS, but Villa had no salad as usual and the Coke Zero was selling at a ridiculous price, so we ended up going after all.
Villa seem to have stopped pre-packaging pork spare ribs, perhaps because the price has jumped, so [...]
This week’s trip to Villa Thong Lo and TOPS Bangna.
As usual there was no Super Fresh Mixed Salad at Villa, though we managed to get it at TOPS Bangna.
Same story as last week with the packed pork spare ribs at Villa, so I could not buy any.
For the second week running we have not been [...]
We made a mid-week trip to TOPS in Central Bangna.
Some prices I’d like to highlight;
Nescafe Gold 200 gram bottle was on promotion at 259 baht. The previous promotion had it at 265 baht and at the time Villa was selling it at 399 baht.
Malee Orange Juice was at 49.50 baht/lt, Villa had this at 58 [...]
This week’s trip to TOPS and Villa Thong Lo.
Yet again there was no Super Fresh Mixed Salad available at Villa. I decided to buy a couple of individual varieties and do my own prep, which will actually save money.
For the second week running, Villa had a smaller selection of packed pork spare ribs available. Escalating pork prices [...]
This week’s trip to Villa Thong Lo.
As is quite usual nowadays, there was no Super Fresh Mixed Salad available. A bit strange, given that it’s a weekend when people shop.
The selection of skin on chicken breast was better this week, so I picked up a pack.
Price Changes
Pork Spare Ribs increased another 5 baht per kg. [...]
This weeks trips to TOPS and Villa Thong Lo.
I stopped buying the Imported Big Onions from Villa as the last few packs had dry centres and a rather powdery core. Not sure why, perhaps they have been too long since harvest. I’m trying the ones marked ‘onions’, which are smaller that the imported ones, though [...]
