Topic for discounted imported food items: good idea or too much cheap charlie?

Featured Replies

Big C

Large packs of Babylove Daypants down from 419 to 349. Also, get yourself up to 800B (I only went in for pampers, got two packs and a bag of coffee) and get an 80B voucher with you Big Card (usual promotion, max 2 vouchers per card per day).

MaMa Poko are only 179bht in Makro, all the time.

Which size pack? I'd best not have been paying double all this time.

Maya and Promanada SF Cinema Discount cards

If you are over 50 (Senior), or have an Ed VISA (Student)

You can buy a discount card from the front desk for 50bht.

(Need to prove age or student with some sort of photo ID, passport works)

Cinema tickets then cost 80 bht (Mon-Fri) or 100 bht (Sat-Sun), reduced from 150 bht and 180 bht.

So you get your money back on the first visit.

30 large (more in packs for smaller sizes)

The XL size for that contains 26, which is 6.88B a piece, the ones I bought at Big C are 54 for 349B, 6.46B/piece. At normal price, 419B, the ones I buy are 7.75B/piece, so thanks for the info, will head to Makro for the next lot, unless we can get her potty trained by then.

Related - Tesco own brand ones (not the value ones) are good value and very good quality, my preferred brand but there's no Tesco Lotus convenient to me.

Today in Tesco Hangdong road, in a moveable trolley close to the checkouts, cans of Campbell's kiddie pasta in chicken stock - two types, 16 Baht and 18 Baht. They did also have 48 cans of Campbell's cream of broccoli soup for 12 Baht each, but I bought all of those! Two years date left, hello sauce for slow cooker meals, etc. ?

Currently at Rimping (at least the one at jj-market), 2for1, Swiss Frey 78% coco chocolate. Expires in two months though.

And at Rimping Maya, Swiss Frey Raisins & Nuts, same deal 98 bht for 2x 100g bars.

Well done, a man after my own clap2.gifThat is exactly the kind of bargain I love finding, and they are out there to find every now and then.

I bought up big on some honey a while ago from Big C - one of the bottles in the box had obviously broken and clagged up all of the others so the labels were pretty much ruined and couldn't be cleaned up - I got them for next to nothing. The bugger is though that the honey, some specialist, very expensive Tasmanian type, wasn't to my taste, very dark and strong tasting, I couldn't use it so I gave it to a friend. Luck of the draw, I suppose. I use a lot of honey, so if it hadn't have been for the taste, I would have saved an absolute fortune. Instead I lost a little bit of money, and had a very happy friend.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

Yesterday in Makro HangDong:

- Kiwi from New Zealand: buy 2 packs, get 1 pack for free (1 pack contains 6 Kiwis)

- No discount but again available after it was sold out: Frozen lined Silver Grunt Fillet (Big Size), 1kg, Aro brand. (We use this fish (for Tom Yam Talay or for Fish& Chips) as long as the pollock is not available in the market)

Today at Rimping Nim City saw a 2 for 1 sale on Miracle whip. 2 15 fluid oz. jars for 99 baht. At the prepared food counter.

29Sep at Rimping Promenada: Independent Fish Fingers from New Zealand; promo buy 1, get 1 for free (expiry date: March 2015)

29Sep at Rimping Promenada: Independent Fish Fingers from New Zealand; promo buy 1, get 1 for free (expiry date: March 2015)

Yum! I miss fish finger sanries so much. I'm in.

PS -Expiry dates are a bit of a misnomer in most cases. Things like milk and cream, yes. Frozen fish fingers? No way. My dad always said Use Before, OK but Best Before doesn't mean it'll kill you, just that it MIGHT have tasted a little better before. I'm living proof of that.

What is 'Miracle Whip'--I have seen it, and it looks like the same brand's mayonnaise, but, I'm guessing it's not?

My family's away.

This morning I found some cheese in the fridge and ate it. It tasted fine. Then, as I was discarding the packaging, I notice the "best before" stamp. It said May, 2014.

If you guys don't hear from me again, please tell my family I love them.

Ps: earlier this year, Big C on the Super highway had brought in a bunch of stuff from Brazil (biscuits, jams, nuts). A lot of it is now at a third the original price. I had earlier bought a mango jam at 129 B (only because I've never seen this flavor elsewhere). It wasn't great, but OK. Now available for 50-65 B. Also other unusual flavors like coconut-pumpkin, banana and passion fruit.

Got some coconut-flavored biscuits for 29 B that are quite good. As you can tell, I'm living on processed food at the moment.

I'm American, but not sure that I've ever had Miracle Whip. It seems to basically be sweetened mayonnaise, which does not sound like what I am looking for. Some things are better without sugar.

I agree.

Until I can find a good use for the stuff I'll probably pass by the 2 for 1 this time.

The Mayo is actually quite nice, especially since I'm too stupid to make my own mayonnaise-- dressings, maybe, but mayo is too complicated for me.

Just a heads up for bargain hunters, savvy shoppers etc. not necessarily cheap charlies...

I was in Rimping on the river today, and they have helpfully made a number of displays right near the checkouts which consist of a lot of their discounted and two for one's - all in the same place.

A whole grab bag of stuff. I personally benefited from pasta & pesto sauce discounts.

Central KSK: Kellog's Frosties promo buy 2, get 1 free

Lotus HangDong: Kiwi from New Zealand, pack with 6 pieces, B59 instead of B76

Just back from Tesco on the Superhighway, and I opened this thread to share - I stocked up big on kiwi fruits same price, so it must be all Tesco's - that's only 10 baht each, which is a very special price. Very often I see them in Tops for 18 or 19 baht. More than your daily recommended intake of vitamin c in every one, and a great, little bit different breakfast is chopping up a couple into small pieces, or even mashing them and dropping into plain yoghurt. Honey if the taste is too tart for you.

I'm going to get the dehydrator out this afternoon and make some fruit leathers and my special hard boiled sweets - kiwi slices soaked in honey overnight then dried to a solid crisp. Better than any bought sweets I've ever had (white chocolate and dolly mixtures excepted).

baby food promo should be a big hit with some tvf members

I always made my own baby food whenever I had babies.. A lot cheaper still compared to imported stuff in a jar.

This will be off topic as it is not for discounted item, rather regular low price.

I went yesterday to Yok Intertrade to buy my carob bean gum and couverture chocolate etc. and I noticed the Anchor butter was at only B72.

Makro hat Anchor butter last week for B78 and Rimping for B109.

As our kids prefer the butter croissants made with Anchor I was more than happy to buy six pieces at once.

In addition the plain milk from Meiji, 2L, was at B86. Lotus sells it for B89.

Most of u guys ought to be on Twitter. Sending out mindless, and endless, messages of cheap food here , there and everywhere.

What, like this one? biggrin.png

Biggest surprise ChokChai milk (way better than Meiji) is only 82Bht for 2l at Rimping.

Cheaper than Yok or Tesco!

And Rimping do 5l of Chok Chai milk for 180B, that's 36B/l. Bargain!
