Our Sunday morning ritual is going to makro for all the cleaning stuff, water and I buy my cheese from there, then off we go to Tops in central, you have really got to watch what you pick up and check the prices especially the imported brands, I dont buy much these days, I was about to get some tins of soup I checked the price it was 256 baht per can, thats not right so I called the girl over and pointed it out to her, it went in one ear and out of the other, a few months back my wife got me a jar of piccalilli, Waitrose brand, she knows I like it, when she brought it home I said to her something wrong with that, I wasn't with her when she bought it, the sauce was like water and the was no cauliflower in it, to late to take back I had opened it, the next time I was in the store I pulled the manager and told him, He said thanks for telling him, they did nothing about it, it was left there for months, obviously I didn't buy any more.
We are lucky in Phuket we have loads of Super Cheap, I have known farangs not to go in them they think it;s low class, but the prices are always lower and you can buy a beer anytime.
