Hello OP,

I've been buying the ribeye steaks from my nearby lotus go-fresh.  I think about 180THB.  
I wouldn't serve them to dinner guests but for my breakfast they are a great value.  Says they come from Aus.  Perfect for steak sandwiches and burritos and such.

 

Now get ready for 2 pages of "THAT'S NOT A RIBEYE!"  hahaha.  Idiot parade on this forum.  
Enjoy!

** Also looking for good but cheap ribeye

I don't buy ribeye, as I buy larger pieces of beef (Harvey from AU) at Makro, and cut the steaks myself.  Prefer  ~2" thick steaks, which packaged steaks are not.   Usually get a large tenderloin, or sirloin, and cut steaks off that.  Ground the scraps for burger.    When low on Beef Tallow, I'll get a Picanha, and render down all the fat.   Good for cooking all the beef in, as Tenderloin & Sirloin are lean cuts.

 

Don't want to buy large ribeye, as may be a not so good one, too much fat.   Not that I've seen any on offer.  Need to ask Makro when Harvey stock arrives, as good pieces don't last long.  2-4 kg pieces, so a freezer comes in handy.

Thanks for that. I really like ribeye. NY strip AU always has nasty side of fat. Aussie really should trim that better at least for export.

 

I need to get down to macro. I've gone once since it opened on Sukhumvit 22. Just had a look. Lots of frozen beef.

 

Incidentally, there is not only fancy spinach b65 for 150gm, but right next to it I found tops brand 200 g 4 b35. I'm in heaven...

No you haven't.  What you've found is phak kom - a name used for various Amaranthus species.  Spinach is Spinacia oleracea.

 

Tops brand is only 35b 200g. 👍👍👍

And yet again, this is NOT spinach.  The label clearly says (in Thai) Phak kom.  👎👎👎

Yes, pak kom. Spinach. Belief is a little bit different and it's a little lighter in color. So what.

 

Oh no...it's not the precise variety of true spinach in States or West... That I can buy a bunch of it for a dollar here in Thailand. What shall I ever do?? 🙄

 

Can't be eating any of that ..
