Bad experiences sa mga foods na binili sa supermarkets, etc.

[Stellar27]

dami ko natutunan dito ah...

[hunny_ally]

there was a time walang food sa house. i cant go out to do grocery for days since my daughter was sick. i asked hubby to drop by robinson's to get a pack of monterey sisig (the frozen one); that item only since I cannot rely on my husband to do the grocery (i want kasi binubusisi yung items). anyway, when he came home close to 2 pm, i immediately went to start cooking the sisig. yuck pag-open i was taken aback by that maasin smell. it was that foul that i ended up vomitting. we ended up eating lunch at 4pm after our delivery from mcdo came.

i never buy pre-sliced fruits, one exception are the Dole apples in the vacuum packs.

  -- nagpunta yung del monte staff dito.. pinalitan yung orange juice na nabili ko. daming dinala na fit n right na fruit snack.

^ohmygod sis, tomato sauce na may squid and rat's heart?! ohmygod! nakakatakot naman yan... 

nabasa ko rin yan sa blog before.. eewww...

[dec_girl]

^yikes! del monte pa naman ang gamit  kong tomato sauce, magpapalit na nga ako ng brand!

[pink_candy]

true never trust buy 1 take 1 promos in the supermarket / malls na food yung binebenta. Ok lang kung gamit sa bahay or sa school.

ako naman, we went to Robinsons  to stroll, nakita ko meron buy 1 take 1 promo yung cadbury chocolates nila. Hiniritan ko pa bf ko na ibili ako ng chocolates. Later pag uwi namin saka ko lang naisip na to check the expiry date at yun na nga, expired na yung chocolates

[angeleigh]

Twice na nangyari samin, bumili ang mom ko ng hotdog sa Landmark Makati. Ang asim na! Although hindi naman siya expired. Ibinalik ng mom ko, pinalitan naman nila, basta may resibo.

[ebiko]

under our consumer act, we can exchange products we purchased within 7 days, as long as my receipt.

sana nga mag-check ang DTI sa mga groceries, again sa WALTER MART-MUñOZ, I did my grocery just yesterday, may buy-1-take-1 ulit sila, mga hershey chocolates, i inspected for expiration day "JUL 2009" and its July na! 

ang walter mart,  on sale ang mga food items nila, specially chocolates kapag 2-3 days na lang ang natitira sa expiration day ng mga ito.

Dapat talaga maging mas discerning tayong mga consumers lalo na at we're spending our hard earned money. Kahit na sale or buy1-take1 we should still check other details like yung expiry date kasi baka mas mapamahal pa tayo in the long run. Lalo na ngayon na health is wealth. There's no substitute for quality products. Minsan kahit na respected brands nagkakamali pa rin.

Thanks as well for the heads up sa mga products na na-try ninyo na. At least mas aware tayo ngayon na such things could also happen to us.

[trizh]

 ^ sis I agree.  hehe.. thanks sa mga nagshare ng experiences nila.. atleast may idea na yung ibang sissies natin dito.

I'd like to share my experience naman sa supermarket, it's not about the product but sa rudeness ng mga tao.

Meron kasing demo booth ng Nido 3+ sa robinson's that day, and i approached the booth kasi gusto ko makita sana yung difference ng milk nila sa enfagrow, Im planning to switch na kasi yung milk ng son ko sincew he's 3+y/o na.

Aba, yung dalawang babaeng nandun (na naka lab gown pa) eh pinagtatawanan lang ako and they were exchanging funny looks, so I said can I see the nutrition information ng milk? And when I touched the milk box, sabi sa kin ma'am dun sa milk aisle may mga Nido rin dun, and sorry we don't do demos sa mga buntis.

NAku uminit talaga ang ulo ko, firstly kasi, ano ba ang connection ng buntis eh kung para sa bata ang bibilhin na gatas? Second, they didnt even ask me if I am pregnant (which I am not, I'm just overweight and looks preggy lang). And isa pa, they were acting lang they were shooing me away from the booth.

So what I did is ginulo ko yung mga flyers sa booth nila (sa sobrang inis ko), wala silang narinig sa kin, and dumiretso na lang ako sa customer service ng supermarket. (Eh si hubby hindi nakatiis, binalikan ba naman at pinagalitan ang dalawang babae )

I also sent a letter of complaint to Nido thru nestle website and here's the reply:

Dear *****,
 
Thank you very much for bringing your concern to us.  On behalf of our NIDO team who is very concerned about this matter, please accept our sincerest apology.

Upon receiving your email and after conducting a thorough investigation on the incident, we have reprimanded and issued a warning to the person and the agency concerned, and have directed the agency to immediately implement corrective measures to ensure that this incident does not happen again.  Among the measures the agency has committed to immediately undertake is to conduct of a refresher course for its personnel on the proper way of relating to consumers during demonstration activities and the strict monitoring of agency personnel behavior during said activities.   
 
Again, we would like to thank you, *****, for bringing this up to our attention.   Feedback from valued consumers like you  presents an important opportunity for us to improve our products and services. Should you have further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
 
 
Warm regards,

^ naku sis buti nalang nireklamo mo.

marami rin ako na-encounter naman na rude personnel sa rustan's supermarket. One time kasi konti lang binili ko na stuff since yung mga kulang lang sa lulutuin ko yung binili ko. I was next in line nung sinabi nung cashier sakin na lumipat ako ng ibang cashier since pasara na sya. So I have no choice but to transfer sa mas mahabang linya. Pagkakita ko aba yung kasunod ko eh kinuha nya yung mga groceries. Sa sobrang inis ko talagang inaway ko sya... sabi ko "miss akala ko ba pasara na kayo?" hindi naman nakapag react yung girl.

Parang dahil ba konti yung bibilhin ko di mo na ako i-sserve? at priority yung maraming bibilhin.

[fabulouz_girl]

 dami kong natutunan..pakibanggit na rin name nang grocery..para..maging aware tayo.

[jelly]

nagbuy me ng milk before sa hi top...lasang sabon.isip ko bakit kaya.baka naplace near soaps yun box..pero nyng nagbuy kami puro food items naman binili namin so siguro sa kanilang fault yun..

[stormy]

Naalala ko tuloy nung january may B1T1 na ang mga quezo de bola so nung napansin ko sa may parco e kumuha ako. Magkadikit na yung 2 carton na lalagyan nung cheese. Pagdating sa cashier, sabi nung cashier na ang bastos nung pagkakasabi sa kabilang cashier habang pinagmamasdan at sinisipat sipat ang magkadikit na boxes "kapatid 1 lang ba presyo nito? Bakit magkadikit ito at 1 lang presyo? Doblehen ko ba"

ayun ako ang sumagot ng "hindi miss, may dala ako scotch tape at gunting tapos pinagdikit ko yang boxes na yan para instead 2 e 1 na lang mabayaran ko"

ayun tawa ng tawa yung cashier ginawa pang joke yung sitwasyon ng pagiging ignorante nila sa promo nila

Naalala ko ito kasi kahapon nasa kape isla kami at naghahanap ako ng malunggay tea. So may aaligid aligid na sales staff kaya nagtanong ako abt sa product "miss tea bag ba ito"
SS: "d ho powdered tea"
 binasa ko likod nakalagay 10 tea bags hehe so sabi ko yun na lang bilhin ko pinapilitan powder daw so ayun sabi ko itanong nya sa counter. Walang kaalam alam sa tinitinda nila.

yung ibang mga chips sa unimart, kakabili lang at binuksan ko kaagad, makunat at may ibang amoy na.
lagi akong nakakabili ng bulok na fruits (guavapple and watermelon) sa rustan's supermarket, makati

[sweetsweet]

yuck, may nabili kaming m&m's na cookies sa robinsons last sunday, 25pesos lang naman sya, pero nung binuksan namin durog durog yung cookies at iba lasa. kawawa naman anak ko gustong gusto pa naman kainin.

Yung sa expiration date may nakadikit na sticker na oct 2009. eh di ba sa m&m's ang expiration date nun is nakatatak na black ink lang. we peeled off the sticker, and guess what? yung orig na expiration date is nakadikit yung ink sa likod ng sticker. 11/20/2007. grabe. isosoli ko sa robinsons yung cookies hmp.

did my grocery shopping last month at sm supermarket. bought a couple of coke in bottles. i think they're the 2 liters.

when we opened them, they were stale na! we checked the expiry dates, and they're way before that pa. i guess it how they store their merchandise. baka naiinitan.

now i dont buy sodas at sm anymore.

[silverlilac]

a few weeks ago, hubby and i bought a tray of seedless grapes from SaveMore in Festival Mall. sinilip-silip ko pa yung ilalim ng tray (sealed with plastic wrap) kasi iniisip ko baka may sirang grapes underneath. turns out, that wasn't the problem...super-asim ng grapes! as tinry ni hubby ubusin kasi sayang nga, but he gave up din. we'll never buy the packed fruits under the SM Bonus brand again

[cherry*coke]

i don't buy hotdogs sa SM supermarket kasi lasang sabon..good thing yung fresh meats nila eh hindi na, dati kasi lasang sabon din yun eh.
