Members have been saying that we are all going to be shocked by the prices in Goa this season.

I am sure our Members will be pleased to hear details from anybody out in Goa at the present e.g.


Kingfisher, vodka, gin, bread rolls, bread, newspapers, petrol, re-instating your tata sky/dish tv,telephone sims, or anything else you can think of.

Andy if you are there, what about the wholesale price of Kingfisher etc.

Don`t know about kingfisher but Tuborg is 550 rp for 24x 330ml bottles.

Butter today is 142 rp for 500g .

Eggs are cheap at present at 18rp for 12.

Blue Riband Gin is 135rp.

Whats hit my budget is the 50% increase in the price I pay for meat I buy for my dogs!

Guess the locals dogs will just get less food! It was 10rp a packet but now 15rp.
My dogs will still get the same !!!

prices in goa are increasing and that is also true for the rest of india- with the hgher levels of disposable income and relative buffer from the recession, holidaying in goa will be relatively more expensive now.

So today`s price check items are :

Chicken (whole) 99 a kg
Boneless breast 199 a kg

Special mince 140 a kg

Forgot to check Fillet steak price as I rarely by it.

Wholesale prices in the UK -

Aberdeen Angus/Organic/28 DaysHung Fillet Steak
35-00 Kilo

American Imported Black Angus X -Corn fed for 200 days Fillet Steak
37-50 kilo

It can be bought cheaper, but like everything you get what you pay for!

Minced Beef - between 4-00/6-00 kilo

Boneless chicken Breast (Free Range Organic) 3-75 Kilo

what about the most important thing....Kingfisher??!

The price on the bottle!

I`ll try to remember that when i next go shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Budweiser is 49.95 a bottle. Only know that cos my weird German neighbour just gave me a bottle 2/3rds full " cos she had drunk all she wanted"................

I really dont understand anyone who buys corn fed meat and thinks it's good quality. Tasteless muck, cows are meant to feed on grass for a reason!

Save money by not eating meat.

I could probably save even more by not drinking beer - but I don't intend to give up either! <g>

On prices:
Paid Rs. 75 for large KF at Fishermans yesterday and Rs. 65 at Chik & Fish in Calangute today (not been before - not a bad little place and good prices -next to Plantain Leaf). Prices this low it must still be Monsoon Menus.

P.S. BUT Rs. 100 for an autorickshaw back to Candolim (told it would be 150 in a taxi) - these people really p1ss me off - I hope they have a really bad season (can't see the Russians paying it). Anywhere else in India it would be meter fares. The stupid thing is they were all sitting around without any customers, and had been all morning!

Obviously not a farmer Martin - There is an element of Corn in the diets of Most cattle bred for eating. It is acknowledged that the finest beef in the world is Wagyu Beef and it is fed a corn diet as well as beer and daily massages! American corn fed beef is acknowledged as being one of the finest beefs available, excellent taste, incredible marbling and superbly tender. You are however entitled to a view and if it is not to your taste so be it.
Cattle with a high level of grass in there diet are Milkers.

I`m so pleased I live in Siolim .

Two of us have just been to Amancio`s for a drink and a meal.
3 sml Tuborgs, a lge Feni and 2 limca`s , Egg biryani and paneer dopiaza and 3 rotis was 252 rs.

Lovely big red ripe plum tomatoes were just 20rs a kg yesterday.

Plenty of tomato and lentil soup now in the freezer and also the equivalent of 4 tins of cooked tomatoes(thankyou pressure cooker) in the freezer for 40 rs.

Fillet steak or undercut as it is sometimes called is now 250rs a kg.Still seriously cheap compared to the Uk but it does need to be matured before using.
