This Week's Shopping Deal

[papafarang]

This seems to be an ongoing promotion at Tang Ngee Soon (Nadee branch) so maybe worth a mention.......

Gatsby roll on deodorant (Clear Ocean) 50 baht.......buy 1 get 1 free.
Turn left as you enter in the cosmetics part......not in the main store area.

Ideal for the pensioner on a tight budget who wants to smell good whilst trying to impress the chicks in Central Plaza or Tesco Lotus Extra !

Essence of corn on the cob usually gets you to second base (peck on the cheek :-" ) with the chicks zid

if your on the pull, a couple of splashes of fish sauce does the trick... oh and cats, it attracts cats too

[vidmaster]

I use the new splash on it's called Breadcrumbs
The birds love it

Sorry but just could not resist it- the old'unszzz are the best

I think a girl i used to know in NZ used fish sauce
I think she used to " splash it all over "

A very good morning to my readers both at home and overseas.......

At Tesco Lotus Extra (off the Nong Khai road) theres currently a bit of a promo on Tesco's own imported stuff.

Tesco breakfast cereals (eg.Strawberry Crisp,Blueberry Wheats etc) reduced from 159 baht to between 89-99 baht,dependant on which cereal you buy.
Also,a nice little find.......Tesco Mature Cheese Oat Nibbles......reduced from 99 baht to 59 baht,I think ? ......but absolutely delicious....."hand baked at a small family owned bakery in Aberdeenshire" it says on the packet.

Also,there is a mini motor show on site....well,very mini actually....but a chance to add a new Mazda or Mitsubishi to your shopping list !

[747man]

overseas.......555 ! Might that be yer 1 Reader in Altrincham, Andy ??

I've known several people who have tried to grow beef steak tomatoes in Udon.....all failed. And until today I've never seen beef steak tomatoes on sale in Udon. But Makro had them today......I can't speak for the flavor, but if you're looking for big tomatoes, Makro. About as big as a Fuji/Chinese apple.

These are back in stock at Makro. We enjoyed them the last time they were available and picked up some more today. I think the same price as before @ 79 baht / kilo (or thereabouts).

Looks like they're on your plate ready to eat. How were they?

[Shado]

I've only eaten one so far. It was sweet and juicy. Maybe not quite as delectable as the home-grown Missouri tomatoes but close enough. These, at least, have a decent tomato taste. Certainly a nice change from the usual choices available here.

Lovely to.make.Mums home.made tomato sauces and relish

[BobHelm]

Today in the Royal Project shop in the Plaza..

2 red, 2 yellow, large peppers - 50 baht.
1 kilo bag of Tomatoes - 30 baht..

It looks like Big C are doing bogof on head and shoulders and cooking oil over Songkran.

On the Left side as you drive out of the large wholesale market next to Makro there is a shop / restaurent that specialises in duck. ( Talard Muang Tong )

I bought a frozen duck for 100 B. Included head/ feet no offal.

Not quite as big as the big ones you see hanging around town.

We got 2 bowls of noodle soup and 2 plates of duck meat.

Frame left over to make more soup.

Good value IMO

[vincemunday]

I looked for this purported bogof on oil and head and shoulders in BigC and couldn't find it all, if anyone does....

Pink Lady apples at Makro......about 150 Baht per bag.....but they're as good as they're described in

Thai Avocados at Makro

4 for approx 95-100 baht , weighted price so it slightly differs per packed bag.

Good bargain, when you consider Kiwi ones at Tops are 99 baht each or 119 baht at Villa.

Finext LED 5-7watt bulbs bogof @do home.

Been on sale before, but a new supply of Tesco Wheats 500g from UK (mini shreddies) flavours available Raspberry/Apricot/Raisin/Golden Syrup at B79 down from B159 best before Jun 2017 at Old Tesco (near Ringroad/NK Rd jn)

[vincemunday]

Big C are doing their offer of buy 1 get 1 free on Bon Aroma 100g again, at 139 baht for two jars of coffee its very cheap. The coffee itself reminds me of the Tesco Gold coffee I used to drink at home so it's not too bad.

Fresh scallops in their shell at Makro.

24 cost 182 baht yesterday.

Had the best hoi shell phat pong curry for years.
