Grocery Shopping at S&R Congressional

In our family, I am in-charge of grocery shopping - budgeting, lists and all. It's fun actually! That also means I need to scour all places with the best offer. I went to S&R's P&G Brand Blowout and saved a few pesos - so that's good! I promised I won't be back anytime soon but then I found myself there after a week, lining up with a big 24-pack chips and Reese's. ;) Actually my family went back to get frozen meat and more breakfast food items. In my case, mostly junk foods!

Lay's Classic Variety Pack Php 404.95

Zanuy Tortilla Chips Php 149.95

Reese's Minis Php 349.95

Hershey's Special Dark Sugar-free Php 124.95

Captain Crunch Berries Php 399.95

Fitnesse Almond Cluster Php 99.95

Koko Crunch

Mrs. Fields Semi-sweet Cookies 197.75

Tivoli Cookies 99.95

Blue Bunny Chocolate Chip 599.95

Frozen Strawberries 2.5 kg 499.95

Mr. Coffee Coffee Press 199.95

CW Glasses 4pc 199.95

Honestly, we don't ever go to S&R to do our normal grocery. Lalo na pag may kasamang kids. Dampot doon, dampot dito! Ang daming tukso... pati ako na rin yun. :D Then surprise, you're already out of your budget. Pfff!

We bought these before S&R Member's Treat (March 13 - 17, 2013). We didn't go actually. I wanted to but walang gusto sumama.


TIP: Whenever you buy, always check for bigger packs because most of the time these items cost less.

You're Invited: CBTL Open House Passion Guava

Free drinks from CBTL!

Summer's here and it's the perfect time for an OPEN HOUSE!

Enjoy complimentary Passion Guava Beverages when you come to visit us on March 17, Sunday, from 10:00am to 11:30am.

We're treating you to a 12oz. Passion Guava Fru-Tea or 8oz. Passion Guava Tea Latte.

All The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® stores in Manila, Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Batangas and Olongapo.

I wonder how it tastes... Not a lot of people I know like guava juice. Personally, I love it! We'll probably get ours at CBTL TriNoma after Sunday mass. I'll ask for the Fru-Tea version.

Share if you like it too!

Garnier Buy 1 Take 1 at Watsons

I've been a fan of Garnier ever since it came to our country! But it was only my last year in college (two years ago) that I religiously used the products day and night. These helped brighten my face and in a way, prevented me from breaking out during stress week! So if you're like me, you'll be happy to know that these are currently on a Buy 1 Take 1 promo at Watsons. I checked the date and most of them are manufactured on October 2012, so fairly new. The SA told me that the packaging will be changed.

Pure Active Multi - Action Scrub P150
Pure Active Multi - Action Toner P179

Light Clarifying Foam P140
Light Brigtening Scrub P140
Light Complete Whitening Cream P140

Overnight Peeling Cream P259
Eye Roll On - Brightening, Pure-Active and BB P229

Light Whitening Face Powder P199

Great deal! Garnier is a good skin care brand for those who are on a budget. I already have other brands mixed on my current skin care routine but I'm still loyal to my trusted Garnier products - Light Facial Foam and Scrub!

So, what Garnier products have you tried?
