The best part about payday is going to the supermarket to buy some groceries that hopefully to last us 2 weeks. We were meant to go yesterday, but since my hubby has been busy we changed the day to today. First stop was the ATM.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t working. We hoped that the ones at the mall would be working...
Fortunately when we got their, there were 2 people waiting in the queue. So we took our time and sorted our cash and headed to the groceries.
We needed to purchase that will last us 2 weeks so there was plenty to buy. I bought
personal hygene items,
snack items,
food items,
and some cosmetics!
Of course I had to buy something for myself! 😅 We have headed through all the aisles and went to cashier to pay for everything. But with two boys things get complicated. Ryzen and Aiden were running around a lot.
They truly challenge their mum. But they did ask if I could take a picture of them by the big ice cream display. They had the cutest pose that there is no way I could say no! They did get a nice moment. When we were done with the groceries I thought we should have quick look through the kids sections to see if they can get any cheap slippers. Unfortunately, they are extremely expensive heere compared to where we usually buy them so we decided to just buy from Tri-Star.
They got to choose which ones they wanted. Ryzen didn’t get his as they didn’t have them his size. My hubby also found an awesome white t shirt that can go under his polo/barong. So he bought those. It was buy 1 get 1 so we got 2. I got a hair clip too. However, when we were about to head home we remembered that we needed to get some rice.
But because both my hubby and Ryzen were saying they were starving, we decided to grab some lunch from the local karinderia. We got 2 different types of pork. 3 plates of rice that has a free soup included. They tasted okay, however they seemed a bit smaller than usual. But it was still lovely and we filled our starving tummies.
After eating my hubby bought the rice we needed for the next 2 weeks plus bought some viands from wet market. Aaand finally, we are off to go home! Such a busy day today and spent quite a bit, hope our money hasn’t run out until our next pay days. But I really appreciate that we can get things thanks to my hubby that works super hard. Even though these seem like simple trips to the grocery store it really makes me realise how important it is to work hard to provide for our family.
It was a super hot day today! Even with the fan the wind was hot! 🥵.

By the way, you have two adorable little boys! That's one of the challenges of bringing kids to the grocery store, you'll definitely get your steps in chasing them around! Haha.
What a busy but productive day for your family! I smiled when I read about the boys posing beside the ice cream display. Ang cute naman nila! 😍Those little moments are often the happiest memories. I can understand the struggle of budgeting groceries for two weeks. Prices are getting higher these days, kaya kailangan talagang magplano nang mabuti. I'm glad you were able to buy most of what your family needed. Your husband sounds like a hardworking man. SANAOL! Char! It's always nice to appreciate the effort our loved ones make to provide for the family. Nakakabless basahin ang gratitude mo for him. Shopping with kids is never easy din talaga! They have so much energy and always want to explore everything around them. But those little adventures make family outings memorable. Ang saya ng family bonding ninyo today. Wishing your family continued blessings. 🙏💙
Relate ako dito, sis! 😍 Talagang kapag grocery shopping, kailangan may listahan at budget kasi minsan ang bilis maubos ng pera kahit mga basic needs lang naman ang binibili. Haha! I also love the cute moment of your boys posing beside the ice cream display. At the end of the day, nakakapagod man at medyo magastos, at least napupuno ulit ang supplies sa bahay. We are always thankful for our hardworking husbands and for the blessings that allow us to provide for our family. 💛
Ang saya-saya Ng dalawang kiddoes mo sis, nakalabas Nanaman ng bahay haha. Nakakapagod talaga ang init Ngayon. Tagaktak ang pawis.
