Guide to Smarter Online Grocery Shopping from MetroMart

In a world where every peso counts, thinking outside the grocery store box can make a substantial difference to your wallet. Welcome to the world of unusual yet incredibly practical tips for optimizing your online grocery shopping experience with MetroMart, the Philippines’ premier online grocery delivery service. From penny-pinching on premium products to embracing the “ugly” produce, here’s how you can maximize your savings while enjoying a hassle-free shopping experience.

Store Brand Sensibility: Quality Meets Savings

When it comes to groceries, consider store brands as your new best friend. These budget-friendly options often match the quality of brand-name products but come at a fraction of the cost. While premium cuts of meat are justified for certain dishes, opt for simpler cuts for recipes like adobo, chop suey, or curry. Your taste buds won’t notice the difference, but your wallet surely will.

Clearance Clarity: Embrace Imperfections

Don’t underestimate the clearance section. Here, you’ll find fruits and vegetables nearing their ripest state or those that might not win a beauty contest. These slightly “ugly” produce items are typically priced lower. Just remember to consume them promptly or store them properly to avoid waste.

Stale to Savvy: Repurpose Expired Foods

Give food that’s about to go bad a second chance. Transform excess milk into homemade yogurt and stale bread into croutons or bread pudding. Always ensure there’s no mold or off-putting taste before repurposing, though. It’s a win-win situation: you save money and reduce food waste.

PISO Power on Payday: Shop Smart

PISO Sales for grocery staples are undeniably the most cost-efficient promo around. They mostly comprise of items that you regularly add to cart. So make sure to check out MetroMart’s Payday PISO Sale at S&R and Landmark this August 29 until September 3. Getting your pantry staples and some extra treats for ONLY ₱1.00 is extra rewarding. Actually, try incorporating online grocery shopping into your routine more, and you get rid of other hidden costs like parking or commuter expenses, and save more time too!

Convenient Cost-Cutting: DIY Prep

Pre-peeled garlic, pre-cut vegetables, and pre-cut fruits may be convenient but often come with a premium price tag. Opt for buying in bulk and take a little extra time to chop and dice at home. Reserve the convenience fee for foods that are genuinely challenging to prepare.

Dietary Choices: Balance Costs

If you’re not medically required to follow specialized diets (like gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, or keto), consider regular alternatives. These specialized items can be significantly pricier, sometimes up to two and a half times more costly than their regular counterparts. Reintroducing standard options into your diet can add variety without breaking the bank.

Creating a space for your little one: 10 tips for decorating a kid’s room

As a parent, you want to give your children the best possible start in life, while making your home an enjoyable and nurturing space for them. One way you to achieve both of these ends is by providing them with their own room, a space in the home they can call their own. Having a dedicated space that is just for them can be incredibly beneficial for children, both in terms of their physical and emotional development.

Firstly, having their own room gives children a sense of ownership and control. It allows them to make their own decisions about how they want to decorate and organize their room, which can be empowering for children, especially as they grow older and want more independence.

Secondly, it can promote creativity and imagination. When children have a space that is just for them, they are more likely to engage in imaginative play and explore their own interests and passions. This can help foster a love of learning and discovery that will serve them well throughout their lives.

Finally, it can provide a sense of comfort and security. Knowing that they have a space where they can retreat and relax can be incredibly comforting for children, especially during times of stress or anxiety.

With these benefits in mind, it’s clear that providing your children with their own space is incredibly important. Decorating their room can be a fun and exciting project for both you and your child, and these tips can help you create a space that is both functional and inspiring.

Choose a Theme. Start by choosing a theme that your child will love. It could be anything from their favorite cartoon character to a sport or hobby they enjoy.

Use Color. Use bright and vibrant colors to create a cheerful and inviting space. Consider using a mix of colors that complement each other and reflect your child’s personality.

Add Wall Art. Wall art is an excellent way to add personality and interest to a child’s room. Consider using removable decals or framed prints to add color and character.

Personalize the Space. Personalize the space with your child’s name, initials, or favorite quotes. This will make the room feel special and unique.

Use Storage Solutions. Keep the room organized with plenty of storage solutions. Consider using bins, shelves, and cabinets to store toys, books, and other items.

Create a Cozy Reading Nook. Encourage reading by creating a cozy reading nook in the room. Add a comfortable chair, soft lighting, and a bookshelf to create a welcoming space for reading and relaxing.

Consider Safety. When decorating a child’s room, safety is a top priority. Make sure all furniture is secured to the wall, and there are no sharp edges or hazardous items within reach.

Add Playful Touches. Add playful touches to the room, such as a fun rug, colorful curtains, or a themed lamp. These small touches can make a big difference in creating a fun and inviting space for your child.

Don’t Forget About the Ceiling. Consider adding interest to the ceiling with a fun wallpaper or a creative paint design. This can add an extra layer of fun and excitement to the room.

Make Room for Growth. Finally, remember that your child’s room will evolve as they grow. Choose furniture and decor that will grow with your child and can be easily updated over time.

Remember, your child’s room should be a reflection of their unique personality and interests. By involving your child in the decorating process and giving them the freedom to express themselves, you can create a space that is truly their own. With a little creativity and imagination, you can create a space that your child will cherish for years to come.

Ready to decorate your kid’s room? It might be time to hie yourself over to IKEA for great ideas and exciting finds.

#TitaAdventures Unleashed: Fun things to do in Subic

Picture this: A gathering of fabulous Titas from all over the country, armed with their signature oversized totes and killer style, converging upon the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. It’s a celebration of a dear friend’s birthday, and the stage is set for a weekend of adventure, delectable feasts, and unforgettable memories.

Join me – your friendly Tita Jellybeans – as I recount my escapades outside of the City in this playful travelogue that showcases the most fun things to do in Subic for Titas like us!

Chapter 1: Destination Subic Bay Freeport Zone

Our Tita Adventure began with an invitation to the birthday bash of a close friend, Mama Rhods, who gathered forty of her beloved family, cherished friends, and fabulous co-workers, for an epic celebration.

This shindig took place in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone — home of fantastic beaches, stunning sunsets, foodie and shopping adventures — a perfect destination for Titas seeking thrilling experiences without compromising comfort and style.

Chapter 2: Go on a Food Trip

No Tita adventure is complete without indulging in mouthwatering delights.

Together with two of my fellow Titas, my first stop was MeatPlus Cafe, where we seize the opportunity to savor their irresistible Steak Treats for Two offer. Juicy US rib-eye end cut steaks paired with a medley of veggies, bottomless drinks, and unlimited rice refills—it’s a gastronomic feast that satisfies our discerning palates (and craving for steaks!), all for just Php1,700.

MeatPlus Cafe is located at 65 Sampson Rd, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongapo, open Mondays to Saturdays from 9am to 4pm. (Follow it on Facebook).

And as self-proclaimed coffee connoisseurs, we made a detour to 727 Coffee & Co – a thriving coffeehouse with a distinct minimalist and modern feel (ran by Millenials and Gen Zs!) – for handcrafted coffee and jumbo cookies. Because, you know, a Tita needs her caffeine and sugar fix!

727 Coffee & Co is located at Building 727 Manila Avenue corner Dewey Avenue, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongapo, open Mondays to Thursdays from 7am to 9pm and Fridays to Sundays from 7am to 10pm. (Follow it on Facebook).

Chapter 3: Go on a Sunset Dinner Cruise

As the sun started its descent, we embarked on a sunset yacht cruise, courtesy of La Banca Travel & Tours. Aboard the vessel, we were treated to three hours of blissfully sailing through calm waters as we grooved and sang to lively party music. The golden sunset we were looking forward to may have been covered by an overcast sky, but the cooling breezes lifted our spirits and whet our appetites.

The dinner buffet tantalized our taste buds with street food skewers, mouthwatering pan-grilled steaks, succulent grilled fish and shrimp, and a delightful veggie salad. We definitely reveled in the experience, toasting to friendship and life’s sweet moments.

La Banca Travel & Tours is located at Watercraft Ventures, Building 1031, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongapo. (Follow it on Facebook).

Chapter 4: Party All Night at the Beach

By the time the dinner cruise ended, the night iwas still young, and we were ready to unleash our inner party animals. Our next stop? Samba Blue Water Resort—a paradise where the waves meet our dance moves.

With overflowing drinks and a street food buffet spread out by the celebrant, we embraced the “pa-morning-an” spirit and danced the night away. A live singer, as well as gifted songstresses from our group, serenaded us, adding rhythm to our vibrant celebration. As you can see, these Titas know how to keep the party going!

(I don’t have a lot of pics for this party because, supposedly, what happens in Subic, stays in Subic! And I was too busy partying to take pictures, sorry!)

When I recovered from our pa-morning-an party, I was able to explore Samba Blue Water Resort the following morning before checking out. It is a family-friendly destination which offers affordable accommodations and fun beach activities such as island hopping tours and various water sports. Unfortunately, as I was only in Subic for the weekend, I will have to discover them on my next visit.

Samba Blue Water Resort is located at RH 6 National Highway, Lower Kalaklan, Olongapo, Zambales. (Book your stay via Klook and use my code JELLYBEANS to enjoy 5% off for new users and 3% off for existing users.)

Chapter 5: Duty-Free Shopping Spree

No Tita adventure is complete without some retail therapy. The two Royal Duty Free outlets became our destination for duty-free shopping, where we got out our credit cards and eco bags and shopped for imported chocolates, delectable food items, and self-care products.

Our shopping bags overflowed with indulgence and a touch of luxury—perfect additions to our sophisticated Tita lifestyles. I was especially excited with my haul of four Tim Tam variants, seven Milka variants, two each of Betty Crocker Pound Cake Mix and Cream Cheese Frosting and a trio of Ox & Palm Corned Beef cans.

(Here’s a piece of trivia: Back in the day, these were referred to as “PX goods.” When the US military bases were still situated in Subic and Clark, stores that sell these products to US army personnel and their dependents were marked “PX,” short for “post exchange.” I bet you young’uns don’t hear that term much nowadays, do you?).

One of these Royal Duty Free outlets is located at 1109 Palm Street while the other is located at corner Manila Avenue and Canal Road, both within the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongapo. (Follow it on Facebook).

Subic Bay Freeport Zone, with its irresistible charm and vibrant offerings, truly captivated us Titas seeking adventure without compromising our comfort and style.

From savoring sumptuous food, going all-out on retail therapy, to embarking on unforgettable cruises and dancing the night away on sandy beaches, we found Subic to be a haven of excitement tailored to Titas like us and will forever be etched in the annals of Tita history.

Many thanks to Rhods and family for this epic Subic celebration!

How about you, fellow Titas? What are you planning for your Subic adventure?
