Ako nagp-provde. I do the groceries once a month only. Kasama sa grcery list ang toiletries nila and i buy a month's worth. But basic toiletries lang - shampoo, soap, sanitary pads, toothpaste. Deodorant, cologne and others they buy on their own na from their own money.

^^ If naubos nila agad, they have to buy their own. I always remind them na huwag sila magsayang que bigay sa kanila o galing sa sarili nilang pera. So far hindi pa naman ako nakukupitan ng mga toiletries o nahuhuling nakikigamit sila :)

We do our groceries every 2 weeks and I set aside 200-300 for my yaya's snacks. I usually buy milo sachets, assorted cupcakes and mini breads, cookies, and biscuits. My yaya wakes up early kase and since wala kameng ibang helper ngayon, sya lahat gumagawa ng chores and madalas nalilipasan sya ng gutom. Nung minsan nagka-hyperacidity sya and I felt really bad. So from then on, binibilhan na namin sya ng food nya para may makain sya kagad in the morning paggising nya.

i provide toliletries and merienda naman. when i grocery, i buy coffee, biscuits and bread for them. toiletries naman, i keep a steady supply of soaps, lotions, shampoos for them. kuha na lang sila. i buy a different brand for all those items for them para they know na iba yung sa kanila. i also buy the cheaper brands kasi magastos kung pareho nung sa amin and it helps me track din how fast they consume those things. kung maubos nila before my next grocery, they have to buy na for themselves.

napansin ko nga, like you, yung househelp namin, ang lakas sa coffee. i tried buying the packs of coffee, cream and sugar pero ang bilis nila maubos. so now im back to the sachet ng 3-in-1 pero even that, they finish agad kasi 2 to 3 times yata magkape sa isang araw. ayoko naman sana tipirin pero nahihirapan din ako to keep up with their consumption. nung minsan naubos, aba humingi sa asawa ko ng kape kasi ubos na daw yung sa kanila. nakakainis lang kasi para makatipid, i buy bulk na. so i buy a lot of coffee na lang and biscuits. a week or so ago, tumakas yung yaya at maid ko. as in umalis walang paalam. in fairness mukha naman walang ninakaw na major pero kinuha lahat ng toiletries na stock ko for hh and coffee and biscuits sa pantry. so ngayon, i have to start stocking those things again for the new help.

Ako hindi. Pag bago ang maid I give her money and let her buy her own toiletries. If she goes on leave (off) I give her money too. Bahala na siya if ipapang date nya o ipang bibili ng toiletries nya.

Snacks and Coffee are provided, yung tinitimpla not the 3in1's kasi mas mabilis maubos yun. Snacks usually I buy yung mga biscuit na naka lata or sometimes minemeryenda nila yung tiring pandesal sa umaga. Makain kami and kasama sila madalas sa bilang kahit the pa-order ng pizza or anything we meryenda.

I make sure merong pera na naiwan kahit P100 if alis kami pambili nila kaso minsan imbes na meryenda pinapang load. lol
