Popular Post Denim Posted April 8 Popular Post Share Posted April 8 Here's what the OP should do. Pick up a tin or two at any big store. When nobody is looking , wack them hardish against the nearest concrete pillar until a bit dented. Replace the tins on the shelf. The next day, go to the damaged goods shelf and pick them up for half price !! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MangoKorat Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 4 hours ago, transam said: Ayam, British recipe baked beans, which have the smaller navy beans, similar to Heinz, are 49 bht, sometimes 45 bht at Tesco....... 🤗 Did you notice a change in the taste of Ayam brand beans about a year ago? They were acceptable before but I can't eat them now, they're awful. Luckily I travel home often enough (at the moment) to be able to get a regular supply of decent beans which in fact are from Aldi and 42p. I never thought I'd say this but they are as good as Heinz.

Henryford Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I can still get baked beans at Friendship for just under 50 baht. The worst increase for me is Branston Pickle. It was always expensive around 150 baht but now 223 baht ! Sad to have to give it up. Edited April 8 by Henryford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratel Snake Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I've been sayin' it for years. Thailand is gonna become an expat trap in order to finance its dysfunctional ageing society. Dark times ahead. Mark my words.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackGats Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I cut down on baked beans after seeing on the label how much SUGAR they contained. All the same, food in Thailand is not that great. With less Farangs compared to Asians coming to Thailand, the availability of Western food has tended to worsen. Baked beans and bacon are rare in hotel breakfasts these days.

NorthernRyland Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 You are retired in Thailand and you can't find the time to bake your own beans? Let that sink in for a while. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a pressure cooker would turn the time into minimal. If single or married here, people really should invest in something like and Instant Pot 7 in 1 cooker. For slow & fast cooking. Expensive here, but worth it, as does a lot. That and a toaster/convection oven/air fryer (call it what you want) would just about be all you need, and small footprint on your kitchen counter. Even for you condo/hotel room dwellers. Worth every baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimTripper Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) The Op would not be much better off buying a streetside meal for 59 baht. That's mostly rice. The beans or side would be much less then what he got in the can of beans in this size. Of course, there's always free water at the stall so he saves a bit there. Assuming it's filtered and not tap water. If in doubt, just fill up your bottle at the big c food court free water machine.

Sheist Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Ayam English recipe, usually 49b at Big C, sometimes on sale for 45b. Free deliver from online. Much less sugar than the red label cans and taste better. For some reason, Lotus jacked them up recently to 59b (avoid) for same 425g can. Ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
