I went to tesco lotus to buy my half price chocolate. But to my dismay, it was reduced from 96 baht to 92 baht!

But got good deal with the spuds! Only 26 baht a kilo!

If you want to sharpen up on your culinary skills/creations;

Daiso shop (one at UD town, which I believe is only open evenings and one in Central Plaza - open when the Plaza is open).

Small kitchen scales which can weigh up to 1 kg, and a strong plastic ice cream scoop both 60 baht. (A metal scoop is 250 baht in Big C and the plastic one is equally as good).

Chinese cash and carry near Tesco Lotus Nadee.

Wooden pepper mill/grinder small 122 baht and medium less than 200 hundred baht (Cheapest I've seen in Udon). Didn't see large size.

So where is me half price Lindt swiss chocolate?
(my apologies gents. Tesco lotus , lint swiss chocolate with raisins and hazelnut down to 48 baht from 99 baht)
Peanut butter? bloody expensive! I make my own 50 baht!
Spuds real cheap though! Where imported?
Dont think Thailand produce they too big!
Maybe Holland? Wonder what variety? They sure no good for making chips(French fries)..... too soft!

Had a couple of these from said shop at the weekend. Awesome and IMO better than Thai Mango. Also make a nice iced drink in the blender. After the stone and skin is removed obviously.

In my Garden is a big Mango tree. Everyday I picked up the fallen ones, and pulped them up in a blender.
I have about eighty bags in the freezer.Nice smoothies!

Watch out though, as the McVities, as shown @64 baht, is not a special price, even Tops has them at this price. Tesco does put out some "non price reduced" items on these end of lane tables, which are not actually bargains. I will check out the Lindt chocolate, if I can get in to town.
