S&R Membership Shopping (Thread 4)

[oktoberfest22]

For my daughter's birthday, we bought two chocolate cakes sa SnR. Ang mura compared sa Goldilocks at Red Ribbon considering na napaka-rich at moist ng cake, at maganda ang quality ng chocolate na ginamit.

can't wait for the sale coz some of my toiletries and other home essentials are running out so I went to aseana this weekend for replenishment. there are some items that are already on discount. I bought na lang the necessary items but I refrained from buying more kasi sayang naman malapit na rin ang members treat.

[oktoberfest22]

^early bird sale na ba sis? Anong month ba ang members' treat, i already forgot.

[iriskers]

Mga sis when ang member's treat sa congressional branch?

[cindylulu]

^^hindi pa naman nila sinasabi na early bird sale. selective members treat lang. usually 3rd week of sep ang members treat. malapit na rin.

[shygirlme]

December opening ng s&r imus.

Mga sis how much pa member sa S&R?
I havent tried it talaga kasi iniisip ko expensive...

Php700 ata pag gold membership.  Mas mura pag business membership ang kukunin mo, pero mas marami kang kailangan isubmit na documents sa kanila so mas hassle.

Thanks for the info, sis cindylulu. Malapit na nga. Time to save up! Although i only go to the early bird sale and not to the 3-day sale anymore. I've learned my lesson.

^sis not to rain on your parade but be careful lang with the meats sa S&R ha. We've stopped buying our meats from them a long time ago kasi laging merong ibang amoy, tipong pa-spoiled na. Hindi mo ma-notice outright since frozen sya but once defrosted yikes! Katakot ma-salmonella.

one year lang kami nagmember di na kami nagrenew after hearing and reading bad reviews about their freezers and meat products, pati sa grilled chicken meron sumasakit ang tiyan.  We love their pizza and hot meals though. 

We can buy imported goods at Landmark and Unimart.  Wala pang membership fee.  And no need to buy in bulks.  Napapalaki lagi ang grocery bills namin whenever we buy at SnR.

@summer_princess @mamasqueak

I agree. Lalo na lately at maraming expired imported meat products that entered the Philippine market. Be careful when buying frozen meat in all supermarkets, not just S&R.  Pag fresh meat kasi, kita agad kung pangit na yung meat because of the texture and smell. Witn frozen meat, mas mahirap i-discern.

[cindylulu]

^correct sis. nowadays we don't buy frozen imported meat in s&r or in any supermarkets (kahit rustans) coz you'll never know what you'll get till after. remember, the problem of expiring imported frozen food products stems from the current container problem at the port. kaya I get mine at monterey at least I know theirs is fresh and quality local meat.

[summer_princess]

uh ooohhh thanks for the heads up sisses! will observe this. kaya siguro sine-sale nila. This is the montana meat. Ka-takot naman, all I knew was safe and fresh sila.

[cheezecake]

I bought sukiyaki beef months ago hindi ko makain kasi ang tapang ng amoy e hindi naman first time na bumili ako ng imported beef.

[px17]

agree ako sa mga sis! mas okay pa na bumili nalang ng local meat.

And true pangpalaki talaga ng grocery expenses ang snr! haha pero ngayon talaga control na ko. Ang hindi talaga mawala sa list ko sa snr yung litter sand ng cats ko. Mas cheap kasi talaga litter sand sa snr.

Yung mga imported microwavable foods almost natry narin namin and meron mga local products sa landmark na kalasa lang. Pero if your into imported goods sulit na sulit sa snr! Lalo na marami parin talagang mga items na sa snr lang meron like yung matcha green tea powder. Lagi pa kong umorder niyan online buti nagkaron snr last week, mas cheaper pa.

[sweetbabycakes]

wala pa ring news about the sept sale?

My brother is the member sa snr. Okay lang ba na gamitin ko without him?
