Saturday’s Supermarket Sale

Today, Yaya knocked on my door to say that my baby is down to his last bottle of milk.  So I had to make an unscheduled trip to the supermarket.  These are what I found today:

­ 

S&R

Tide Powder 10kg bag with pail is selling at PhP743.95.  I always hoard on this whenever it’s on sale because I buy for a huge household.   I simply shouldn’t miss out on savings like this.  For the record, I normally buy this 10kg bag (without pail) at Landmark for a little over PhP800.

Hubby and I love the fresh scent of Coast and Irish Spring.  Hooray, it’s marked down!  At 229.95 for a 6-pack, each bar costs PhP38.23.  Not bad for a bar of soap that’s made in the USA.

Rustans

It was quite a surprise to find a number of good deals here.  Normally, I only buy here out of emergency / scarcity.  Based on my observation, prices here are usually around 5% higher than the rest. But don’t dismiss this store when they’re on sale.  Savings can also be found here.  Check out their publication.  Oh dear, it’s dated Oct 16 – 25, 2015.  Pronto, pronto, rush to your nearest branch.  I encircled the deals which were more relevant for our household and the prices are honest-to-goodness lower than Landmark and S & R.

Thanks for dropping by.  ‘Til the next shopping trip.

Memo # 1 - Buy things out of season.

Last week, hubby and I purchased knick knacks and bric-a-bracs to fill up some loot bags.  To my surprise, Landmark was giving 10% off their entire stationery section.  Oh yeah, it’s summer vacation.  School had just finished and the store still needs to keep their inventory moving. 

Hence, this year I’ll be shopping for school supplies in April, when prices are at their lowest.  Yes, it’s early, but this way, more than just saving 10%, I’ll be buying before the annual June (School Rush) inflation hits.  It’s like paying 2011 prices for SY (School Year) 2012.
