Alloha hivers!
When it comes to my monthly groceries I feel exhausted because of the hike prices. Inflation gives us stress, right? But we don't have a choice. Even if I find a ways to find a low prices but still expensive for me. As a mother of 2 sons, it cause headache to me how we can survived for 1 month.
My monthly allotment is only 20,000php($352). My friends been wondering how I managed my monthly expenses. My eldest studying at De La Salle John Bosco College. Then I have a toddler also that needs milk, diapers and a lot more. So today I'll gonna share my #MarketFriday at the groceries.
At Prince Town...
It's been a few months since the last time I've visit prince town because they don't have the milk of baby Collin, the Bonakid 3+. In one day of buying our essentials I've been transferring to other stores if they don't have the needs that I want. It's quite stress right? But mother's duty must be done. So fight fight mother's!
Time is very precious to me that I can grab all the things that I want, just like a flash hehehe. Time management is the key for me because I have a lot of things to do in 1 day. I'm not picking also the unnecessary things at the grocery. My top priority is our daily needs. The guards really smiled at me if they can see me at the cashier's area😁.
I'm not buying too much for myself not unless for my favorite perfume which is BENCH 8. I really loved the scent since when I was in highschool. The price also is not so expensive. This 75ml worth only 98php($2 ). Sometimes my eldest son using this one because he realized it gives nice smell lol. "Nice choice" as what he said.
When I was at the cashier, she really ask me If I have a store. I really laugh and I tell her, I don't have a store but it's only our daily needs with my son's. She was shocked actually then I tell her it's not enough for us for 1 month then I'll buy again after 2 weeks. She's still a single so she can't relate how to be a mother that theres a lot of things to be adjust especially the monthly expenses.
I'm a coffee lover so its four tie's for 40pcs. Then I buy some soda and chips but we prefer water. We just drink soda if we eat a kinilaw. The biscuits for my lil patootie Collin. He don't like chips. I have some noodles also if I'm lazy to cooked some fish or meat. I'll buy some veges at the wet market along with fish and pork meat.
(The total amount😱)
In just a quick, almost the half of my allotment been wiped out, my goodness! The prices been so high. The 7,089.94($125 )its really big amount for me but I need all the things that I've pick. Milk is 1,315php($24) per box, the most expensive of all. I just buyed 3 boxes only. I'll buy again if not enough for 1 month.
After I payed, it's time to go home so the guard check my receipt then the bagger help me to find a trycycle. So that's all for today and this is my entry to #MarketFriday that initiated by happy Friday to all.
