LukDod Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Well, after reading that Villa Mkt...and now Friendship has Grape Nuts... I finally went on the hunt for the cereal that I loved as a kid. And, contrary to the Brits falsely commenting that it's only to assist BM's, maybe they really avoided the cereal as you best need teeth...real teeth to eat those crunchy grains ;-) Friendship was out of stock, so I made my first venture to Villa Mkt. I was impressed with their selection of foods...and absolutely _shocked_ at the price of many items. dam_n, Grape Nuts were 250-Bt a box!! The also have a 350g box of Kellogs corn flakes for 225-Bt. A 500g box of the same brand is 63-Bt at Friendship and a few Baht cheaper at Modern City Market. I guess Villa Mkt is geared to the 'Beverly Hills' crowd. I'll continue shopping at Friendship from now on; they also can supply my farang food desires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Grape Nuts at Foodland is 150 baht for 16 ounces, a better value than 250 baht for 24 ounces at Villa. I suspect Friendship is not going to stock it anymore. When they ran out of stock in the past, there was a space for it. They haven't had it for some months now. Their price WAS the same as Foodland; you won't find it cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerlou47 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Just bought 4 boxes at Villa! Grape Nuts is an American breakfast cereal, nothing to do with the fruit called grapes. You put about 100 kernels in a bowl and add cold milk. Then it takes about an hour to chew all the grains of cereal. Delicious, better than khaow paht gai.

Jingthing Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 I have been sourcing Grape Nuts for years now, but recently I noticed both Villa and Best no longer stocking. Haven't checked Foodland recently. Has the grape nuts bowl movement ... passed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
