| Things to do in your spare office time |
Tip #1: Do your monthly grocery during lunch break
I went with my officemates to S&R/Pricemart in Fort Bonifacio, this morning with the mission to buy 1.18 liter Ranch dressing at Php 50 and fish crackers - literally, fish shaped, sunflower tastes-like biscuit - at Php 93. When I walked out of S&R an hour and a half later, I had with me the Ranch dressing, fish crackers, 1 pack of mini boxes of strawberry and grape flavored Nerds candy, 1 box of TGIF Fridays' frozen mozzarella sticks (Read: DRRRROOOOOOOLLIIING! slurp! slurp! and slurp!), and half a box (24 pcs) of granola bars, which comes out to Php 9.30 a piece.
Impulsive? No. Panic buying is more like it! Everything there is either packed in twos and threes or sold in 1 or 3KG packages. From cereals and powdered juices to detergents (in small drums even!); shampoos and soap bars to dishwashing liquids in 1 gallon bottles; sacks of rice to sacks of dogfood; frozen fries, hash browns, squidballs, hamburgers, to frozen lasagna trays! (God Bless America for processing all these frozen food!)
Inside S&R, walking down aisle after aisle, all I could say were incoherent ooohhs! and aaahhhs! and 'oh my G... - *buntunghininga*' (I just had a teeny-tiny grocery-gasm!) I can't wait to go back there again! |
