The Big Mango Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Not sure if you guys will follow on this one but lets see. Now that Villa have 3 branches on the island and I do visit all of them depending on where I happen to be on any given day I have noticed that each store does from time to time have different promo offers , buy one get one frees , close to sell by dates , etc . Now bearing in mind Villa is not the cheapest place these savings can be a tidy sum. So a tentative idea for this thread is that if you happen to be in one of the Villas and see a good offer / promo to post it in this thread. Ill kick it off with a simple offer today from Villa Chalong with Walkers Crisps ( ready salted ) they are on buy one get one free , so two packs for 39thb. Not a big saving but as my kid takes a pack everyday to school ( and im partial to packet now and again ) I brought 10 packs giving me a saving of 390thb compared to if id bought them from villa in boat lagoon yesterday as they are 39thb a pack no offer. Id like to see if the thread is usefull and if any one else sees some promos to post. Edited July 7, 2015 by The Big Mango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chercheur888 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Villa Market has a monthly promotion brochure that is valid for ALL locations in Thailand. The problem is that not ALL locations have all the promotions in stock. Promotion in May offered a very good Olive Oil, buy 1 get 1 free, but no stock in Chalong during the.monthly promotion. Some items the have, and most they don't have in Chalong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Mango Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Hi Cherchuer , Yes I know that , a generic promo leaflet , they also have an app in the appstore if you want to download too. Maybe we could include that too ,if you go to x Villa for the promo but they dont have stock , post here in case a member knows if its availiable in one of the other two locations. I was refering more to the offers specific to a store as in the example I gave. Of course all promo reports would also be welcome. An example of their generic ofders at the moment would be m&ms chocalates 25thb buy two at 25thb ( same price as 7 / 11 ) get one pack free . Funny seems like im just buying chocolate and crisps :-) Edited July 7, 2015 by The Big Mango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsetBkk Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Good idea, TBM. Went there today, missed the crisps offer (didn't know about it), but worse... no Crumpets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Good idea, TBM. Went there today, missed the crisps offer (didn't know about it), but worse... no Crumpets! Just bought some crumpets today at Villa Chalong. As a traditionalist, I got the round ones rather than the toaster friendly square ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads. You must have looked in the wrong freezer. They keep changing where they put stuff. Presumably, to entertain their customers and keep them on their toes.

There are loads. You must have looked in the wrong freezer. They keep changing where they put stuff. Presumably, to entertain their customers and keep them on their toes. Yes, just been there to stock up, and you're right - they have moved them. They used to be in the other side of the freezer two weeks ago when I bought some, but there were only 2 or 3 left of the round ones then. And when I went last week they weren't anywhere - believe me I looked! Now there are dozens of them, so I've stocked up! Woo-hoo, crumpets for tea. Hmm, shall I have fried egg on top, cheese or honey... decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDave Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 <snip> Now that Villa have 3 branches on the island and I do visit all of them depending on where I happen to be on any given day I have noticed that each store does from time to time have different promo offers , buy one get one frees , close to sell by dates , etc . <snip> This may be an ignorant question, but where is the 3rd branch? I'm aware of the Chalong and Laguna branches, but these are the only branches in Phuket listed on Villa Market's website. Is there another one somewhere?

The Big Mango Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) So ok its probably not for the coffee experts of this world , but tastes ok to me. Buy one get one free , purchased at boat lagoon but believe its in all the stores. 140thb , so 70thb for a 100g jar.

JetsetBkk Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) "Walkers Crisps ( ready salted ) they are on buy one get one free , so two packs for 39thb." I saw them yesterday. Didn't realise Walkers made packets that small. I'll stick with Lay Original. Edit: PS. Didn't see any beef flavoured crisps, but I think they were Safeways own brand (13 years ago). Bluddy delicious they were. And what about Twiglets? See 'em anywhere? Edited July 10, 2015 by JetsetBkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Mango Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Oh , Beef and Onion Walkers crisps ... Seen just about all the flavours but not that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Don't think many people shop at Villa with the idea of saving money by buying a cheaper brand than the one that they really want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Mango Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 ^^ Perhaps , however the brand they want may be on offer hence the reason for the op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Promo had cherry pie listed (getting my gf into Twin Peaks, pie big part of it...). Go to Villa at Avenue in Pattaya.... they had no idea what I was looking for and did not have one copy of promo leaflet there (?). I suggest bringing it with you during visits.... may help, but who can say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenBravo Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Dunno what the first pic was of, but, it certainly isn't a crumpet as I know them. Spot on with the second pic, though. Crumpets are like polo mints, bagels, women and doughnuts...........they gotta have holes Edited July 12, 2015 by KarenBravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 You go to their website and click on 2-4-1 promotions, and it tells you you have to be a member to see the offers (so they can spam you later). But click on promotions at the top of the page and download the pdf and you can see them on there. Typically poor Thai organisation, but in this case we win.

Just had two crumpets with butter and honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpets are like polo mints, bagels, women and doughnuts...........they gotta have holes I love the crumpets. The holes soak up the melting butter and jam or jelly. Villa Chalong has a section next to the yoghurt/milk where they put the stuff near its sell by date for 50% off. Have been enjoying some fancy soft cheeses that I wouldn't ordinarily buy at full price. Same at the Chalong makro. Today 50% off a kg of bacon.

KarenBravo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Just bought Boursin garlic & herb at a 50% discount. Only 99 Bt. Will be excellent on top of the crumpets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callaway Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Damn wished could get some of those crumpets up the north east. And some mouth watering Golden Syrup to go on them. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
