Supermarket prices out of control

Post by **vincemunday** » August 14, 2018, 7:06 pm

Went to Big C Nittayo Road. They had McVities Digestive chocolate sandwiches for 45 baht, I bought a couple but there was quite a few left, date still good and tried the biscuits and they're nice and fresh. They also had packs of pate for 48 baht but I bought all those. Tchibo gold coffee is still only 199 baht for a 200g jar, its very similar to the Tesco Gold coffee I used to drink back home, worth a try if you find Nescafé bitter and too strong like I do.

Went to the off license on the Pho Sri road today, the one that’s near immigration and bought a 3 litre Bodegas Red wine box for 900 baht which is 104 baht cheaper than Big C.

Tried my Bodegas wine box, it's not going to win any prizes but it's quite drinkable.

I did a flash shop in Ngeesoon today for several items......best as I could tell, their prices have not changed. 500g Kellogg's corn flakes still 94 baht......big cans of Ayam beans 34 baht, my go-to termite spray with the thin needle nozzle 76 baht for the big can. Admittedly, Ngeesoon lacks some of the comfort features of places like Tesco (KFC, air con, fresh produce/meats........but price wise, they're hard to beat.
Ngeesoon is one of the few ?only? stores that offers freebies......today, a 52 baht container of Tipco had a free 225ml container of Tipco juice attached, for example. And after checkout, take your receipt up to the freebie counter....the one with the girl with the husky voice......invariably I walk out with a free bowl or free pillow or free umbrella or free something.
I'm not sure if things have changed in the past year, but on many occasions I've bought alcohol products pre-11AM without a problem in both Ngeesoons.

Would that be the Ngeesoon in town or near Tesco Nadee, Parrot?

After 3 weeks of buying 2 x bags of croissants for the price of one at B45, this week no special offer, and the price hiked to B54 (+20%) .......... pretty sure they are made on site so what excuse can there possibly be?

Tesco 'bakery'.... I rest my case.

Pick of the bakery bunch IMHO is still Big C on Nittayo (flyover) and I saw a special on "French Butter Croissants" touting them at 12 baht a pop yesterday. However, I didn't see any of the buggers left at 2 PM so maybe all snapped up already?

...like pate.

I purchase very little processed food; mostly cheese, sausages, breads, sauces, and whiskey. Everything else is fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat killed during the night and purchased at the local market. While food is very important to me, the price is not very important. I'm going to buy what I want to eat. My wife talks about the prices. It's her habit, not mine.

I see the roadside Pork stalls, which have been selling at 100baht/ Kg, have now increased to 120.

Ok, 20 baht isn't the end of the world, but it's a big increase, when they have no overheads.

Went to Macro flyover yesterday, looks like CP are going for world domination. The shelves were stuffed with their delicious processed food.

Just to add a little to my previous post about the place on Panpraw Rd. Actually, not as large as I thought, but i see the shop has 'seafood' in its' name, so that's its' speciality, although I don't think the selection is enormous. Still, my wife assures me that the prices are well down from e.g. Makro.

I accept that's how we think but these vendors aren't going to be making much money for the time they put in. They won't be rolling in baht.

I often wonder how the hell the money was made when I see the depositors at a bank with the large piles of cash.

Hopefully legally.

if you go late in day to old bigC theyve often marked down some of the fresh made stuff.

A trivial thing, but the price of 3 in one coffee went up last month, and now looks like it is going up again. This is about a 10% plus price hike. Cannot understand why, as international coffee price has fallen about 20% in the last year ........
