Thatchers gold cans at Villa Market at 115 baht,Thatchers rose one bottle,no kepplers,Magners large bottles 568ml 205 baht,Bruntys and another cider available as an option for Udonsville $\:D/$

Forgot to check VSOP KB but I doubt any discount available,still loads of red wine on the shelves,better selection than Tesco/Big C IMO.

Happy drinking everybody

Best get there early to shop,only the right hand side parking was taken up,no one in the lefthandside

Went my Villa today, and I am happy to report they were fully stocked with the California Premium cheeses. Picked up quite a few while they had them.

Also noticed plenty of Butterball turkeys at between 1100 baht and 2400 baht each, depending on size.

Don't think you'll beat Makro's price at 175bt a kilo...compared to Tops market at 250 a kilo.

Thanks papa, but I just posted that for informational purposes.

Someone was asking about turkeys, so thought I would let them know they were there. The 175 a kilo does sound like a decent price for Thailand, though that is still ~$2.50 a pound.

Although this is a Villa thread I presume you are talking about in Makro. If so they also have Norbest turkey boneless joints at 350bht a kilo, average weight about 9lbs .

I need to get back into Villa for what is left of the sharp cheddar and cider products ie Thatchers,Kepplers etc

I am sorry, but I cannot restrain myself:

But where do they put the expiry date on women? $\:D/$

Hope their Xmas balls are not too fragile and look shiny and large,the ones you hang from Xmas trees

Hope their discounted shelves are bulging with products

Next visit due next week,hope it will not be wasted on the sharp cheddar front or Lenders bagels or potato salad

Since VM are stockists on many ciders,hope to give an update on their supply front re Thatchers,Kepplers,Bruntys.Magners and one other company who I will post the name of next week $\:D/$

..reading your post my friend got me thinking..When MY balls expires,let's see..i'm 55 and pompui,WERE do you check the date on your balls..kind of hard to see "down under"..Anyway,for those who like fresh Swedish Meatballs,not mine for sure,are welcome to Nok's Restaurant today.

Hope to see you soon pompui

Be careful Alfie. When you venture beyond your own backyard the natives get very restless!

Post by **pompui** » December 1, 2013, 12:43 pm

Hope to moan like others about stock levels in Villa Market next week,no point having empty shelves for Kepplers cider like last time and yet huge stock levels of all the Bruntys ciders next to it

Alfie,any Swedish products you would like me to look out for you at VM

Will ask a staff member there

KB if you are still there in the cyberworld will give you an update how many of the sharp cheddar are left

And the franchise manager

,wil ask him what is his rent per month,how does he ever make any profits if not stocking what people want

What is the rent 150-160k per month

,maybe a 3 year contract in Landmark

will be looking for some answers

Swedish meatballs are a must at Noks restaurant,sorry if off topic

Dropped in VM today for a couple of Crimbo items one of which was cranberry sauce/jelly for a mate , told no have coming soon , the shelves did look a bit low on stock bearing in mind the time of year should be rammed with everything . .... came out with a lovely piece of Feta cheese which didnt make it out as far as the car .. which was a shame as i planned a posh Feta and Delirium bedtime treat ..... ar well next time

Remember that Worral Thompson chap getting caught stealing cheese from Tesco,when the alarm triggers say it is shrapnel from an old war wound

Maybe the feta was hidden in the beard

No Cranberry sauce,that is outrageous
