Chittychangchang Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) One for the weekend.. She's eating me out of house and home! How do i diplomatically and without being hit on the head with a wok get my weekly food bill down. No i'm not being a miserly scrooge. We are talking 20,000bht a week on food just for her cooked at home. She eats more than us all put together. A typical meal is 1/2 kg of meat with rice and raw veggies, during that she is talking about having a whole sea bass fish for desert. Jeez i knew thai women can put it away but this takes my biscuit.

Popular Post Songhua Posted August 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2013 I wish you the best of luck CCC. I don't where they put it. My missus eats more than a Tongan rugby player and then does it again two hours later. It's 1am now and she's already talking about going for ice cream tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) £412 uk pounds at todays rate for her to eat per week at home , jeezus my heart go's out to you, and hers might just pack in if she's eating that much, get her stomach stapeled, it will work out far cheaper in the long run......

Popular Post GuestHouse Posted August 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2013 If your food bill is Bht20K a week she's either buying from Selfridges and having it delivered by courier or she's buying her mother's and extended family's food on your bill. The simple explanation is usually the right one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Phronesis Posted August 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2013 Bullshit she is eating Bt.20,000 per week. Total BS. I do a huge biweekly shop at Tesco, including Liptons, Nivea and other western items, big bags of prime pork fillet, chicken breast, ribs, and prawns, four or five cakes and other treats from the bakery, and every sort of fruit and vegetable and I have never had a till receipt over 2,000 THB. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MaiChai Posted August 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2013 Probably a bit late now, but you should have been more selective in your choice of wife? Apart from the health aspects of eating too much, would you want to be married to an over weight wife? I suggest you try and make her realize that eating so much is unhealthy and will ultimatly lead to health and weight problems. Most Thai women would not be keen on you looking at other women and you might suggest you may look for a new wife If she gets really fat... That should work! I have noticed a number of Thai female friends are conscious of being over weight and thus not being attractive as a result. To my surprise they have gone on diets. look is everything in Thailand so is a Good angle to work on! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NeverSure Posted August 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2013 Do you give her cash to buy the food? Do you see the food receipts? Sure, she eats a lot but not 87,000 b pm. That's $2,700 USD figuring 4.3 weeks in a month. Almost $100 a day? Have you considered a gambling habit? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJIC Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 On that rate of consumption,which is a huge amount,you should watch how much money is handed to the checkout girl.or most likely you are feeding half the village,without you being aware of this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooloomooloo Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 It's not been clarified by the OP if the stated 20,000 baht was a typo and a more sensible 2,000 baht per week meant to be implied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loptr Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just tell her that you are going to leave her if she gets fat. Oh wait, 20k baht per week for food it may already be too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcruisin Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nothing to do with the food bill. She is ripping you for 16,000 Bt a week for playing cards pocket money. If I am wrong you will have to dispatch here out the door for purchasing too much honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since living here she's put on a good 10kg easy. I believe he is based in the UK yes,so it's quite feasible if he is shopping for Thai products in the UK then his shopping bill is going to sky rocket,after all it's extremely difficult to find certain products outside of the major cities like London and Birmingham etc. The cost of thai rice alone is enough to make you cry.
