Happy Saturday!

Just 2hrs more and I'll be on my way home. Oh, I plan to drop by TriNoma and visit Landmark because they have a sale event until Sunday. I'll take advantage of the great deals as I need to buy shirts anyways for hubby and hopefully for the kids too.

I'm also thinking where to eat lunch later. I ate at KFC yesterday and maybe I can eat there again LOL!

I hope everybody enjoys the weekend!

Retreat!

As promised, I'll give feedback to S&R Members's Treat. However, it's going to be super short and simple as we didn't even get the chance to get inside and experience the sale. LOL! We went there last Wednesday, first day of the sale, around 9:30am. There was heavy traffic going to the Congressional Ave. branch and yes, it was because of the customers who were having difficulties finding parking space. We were going to brave it but to our horror, there was a long, snake-like queue of customers outside waiting for their turn to get inside too! Tsk. That was it. We retreated and maybe will go back today or even tomorrow. Hopefully the turnout of customers wouldn't be the same as the previous days. But then, I'm praying that there will still be good deals left for us. LOL

By the way, TGIF :)

I'm back online! Our dsl connection went back up last Sunday and I worked at home again since yesterday. Whew! It was such a relief! I realized I was so dependent on the internet for a lot of things and mostly for work, of course.

Just a few days from now and Jamie and I will celebrate our birthdays. We have a pool party this Sunday for her birthday and I'm sure the kids will enjoy. It's officially the start of summer although it also rains on some days. I already shopped for the things we need for the party and will just buy a few more items before the big day :)

Hubby and I are also looking forward to S&R Members's Treat on March 16-20. We went to the October sale last year and there were a lot of good deals. I hope we can go there early and take advantage of great deals but I'm sure there will be LOTS and LOTS of people and we better be prepared to stand in the queue for hours.

I'll post again to share my experience :D

Welcome to the Jungle!

Remember last Wednesday I said my hubby and I are going to S&R's 1st day of their year-end sale? We did and it was past 1pm when we got there. Bad move. There were no more push carts available. The queue to the cashiers already snaked (like a giant snake) around the warehouse. There wasn't even enough room to maneuver around the displays as it was so crowded. I think the problem is they don't have enough cashiers. I mean, they do this twice a year and they should have prepared, right? Right. Even the line to buy food (I was craving for their roasted chicken) was uber long and there were kids everywhere who I'm sure were wishing they were just at home playing LOL!

Hubby and I just checked out the deals and found out that we don't need most of them anyway. And for me, it was just not worth it so we went home. We planned to return on the last day of the sale which is this Sunday. Our gameplan is to be there right before store opens at 8am and as quickly as we can, get the things we need and he'll already queue in the cashier while I scour for other stuff to buy. This doesn't guarantee that we'll be done shopping in a breeze but at least it's better than standing in line for 4 hours or more.

After what we have experienced though, we have decided against returning to S&R on Sunday. I'm sure there will be throngs of people who like us, want to go back on the last day of the sale. Maybe we can go there on a Monday and check out the items. Some might still be on sale, you know LOL! I noticed the prices of the items we like doesn't differ much so we can go back anytime. I just want to buy some of those party cups and plates in red or maybe a pack of Libby's sausages. Til next year's sale, S&R! I hope we can find the strength to brave you next time :-D
