Restaurant Depot in Pasay City

I've learned about this new place, Restaurant Depot in Pasay City through Facebook. And because I love to cook, na-curious akong puntahan sya. And so off we went to see what they have to offer.

We reached the place almost 7:00 pm na. E until 7:00 pm lang pala sila buti pinapasok pa kami, hehe. Upon entering, you'll be asked to fill-out a membership form since hindi daw pwede mamili pag hindi member. But don't worry, membership is free though when I asked the lady at the frontdesk if until when free ang membership ang sabi is until 1 year lang but not yet final pa naman daw. After filling out the form, I gave it to her then she asked for 1 valid ID from me. I gave her my TIN ID. Then, she encoded my info na sa computer. After a few minutes, she gave me na my membership card and it looks like this.

You need to present it to the cashier every time you have transactions just like in S&R din.

After getting my membership card, I hurriedly go inside. Nauna na ung mga kasama ko sa loob while I'm filling out the membership form pa, hindi halatang excited lang sila, di ba? Hehe. I'm excited too to see what the store is selling. But of course, hindi ko nakalimutan to take pics so I can share them to all of you, hehe. Medyo natakot nga lang ako ng konti kasi panay tingin na sa kin ng mga staff while I'm taking pics. Pero wala namang sumaway sa kin, hehe. Here are the pics:

My fave part ng store, spices!

We bought just a few items since kami na lang iniintay nila at magsasarado na sila. Just to give you a sample ng prices nila, here's our receipt. Sorry po kung medyo malabo sya.

Basing from what we saw, their products are for those running a food business like restaurants, canteens or carinderia. Thus, the name Restaurant Depot of the store. I can say, medyo limited pa lang ung mga stocks nila. We asked the cashier kung me madadagdag pa ba and she responded agad ng "Yes po".  Hopefully, they can still add more items on their shelves for their customers para mas madami pa pagpipilian. As for the price, I can say their prices are quite low and competitive. Just to cite an example, we compared the price of their Dona Maria Jasponica rice from S&R and found out their price is lower. But I cannot speak for all the items ha. Ung Jasponica rice lang ang na-compare namin since we usually buy that one sa S&R.

So, to my fellow fab wives and mamas, check out Restaurant Depot while their membership is still free. They are located at 2738 F.B. Harrison Street, Pasay City. They are open daily from 8AM to 7PM. If you have your own transport, they have their own free spacious parking so no need to worry. If commute naman, they are conveniently located along the road. Nadadaanan sya ng mga jeeps, taxis and tricycles, so no problem din. Here's their brochure where there is a location map that you can follow.

Mercury Drugstore's Suki Daybook 2017

Before I had a son, I used to collect Starbucks and BDJ planners every year. But now things have changed. I stopped collecting these expensive planners. Instead, I decided to get Mercury Drugstore's Suki Daybook for this year.

I got the orange one since yon na lang available sa branch where I got it. This daybook comes in 3 colors: red, green and orange.

Inside the daybook, there's a page where you can write your personal info.

There's also a calendar for years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Philippine holidays are also written for your reference.

The daybook shows a monthly calendar where you can jot down your important occasions, meetings, appointments and the likes. On the lower part of the page, there's also a reminder section where you can write things that you want to be reminded of like maybe your things to-do for each month.

There are few pages about nutrition and health facts inside that I find helpful and interesting.

There are lots of blank pages (with lines and without lines) that I find useful especially for homemakers and moms like me who likes to keep a list of everything. You can utilize these blank pages to write down your grocery lists, budget plan, ideas or anything you can think of that you want to write.

On the last pages of the daybook, you can see Mercury Drugstore's directory. I find this useful since it is easy for you to look for the nearest branch and the contact numbers are also indicated so you can also call any branch if ever you want to inquire on a certain medicine/product's price or availability which I often do before buying just to make sure.

The last part of this daybook even has an envelope-like part where you can keep small notes, receipts, prescriptions or anything you can think of that can fit inside.

Lastly, it has a page marker with a silver pineapple at the end. Cute! I just wish they also included a pen to make this daybook complete and ready to use, hehe!

I can say this is not bad at all to replace my previous planners. It comes with the basic things that I need in a planner. And most of all, it is free! How practical, right?

You can get one of this useful daybook if you already have 30 Suki points in your Mercury Suki card. You can earn points everytime you purchase from the drugstore. For every P200 worth of items you purchased, you'll earn 1 Suki point.

So if you've decided to get one of this, head now to your nearest Mercury Drugstore branch before they ran out of stock. 😉

Price Watch

As a homemaker, we always keep an eye on prices to ensure that we stick to our budget & be able to save some money as much as possible no matter how hard it is, especially nowadays where prices are soaring. So here, I'll be posting prices of my random finds like food, grocery items, medicines, clothing, etc. that others may use as reference if in case they need to dine, buy or shop for something. I'll try my best to add as much info as I can to my post like product name, item description, name & place of establishment, date price was seen, sales/discounts, etc. to make it more helpful to others.
