Puregold ‘Walang Plastik Grocery Day Campain

     Let our Monday grocery shopping more sustainable by saying NO to plastic bags and use eco-friendy bags instead. If you’re still using single-use plastic when you shop for groceries, Puregold hopes you will switch to eco bags, which are more environment-friendly and cost-efficient.

     Puregold re-implements Walastik Mondays or Walang Plastik Mondays at all its stores in the National Capital Region (NCR). This means no plastic bags will be provided every Monday. Customers are encouraged to bring in their own reusable bags to reduce the use of plastic, giving a Php1 cashback for every eco bag used by Perks and Tindahan Ni Aling Puring members, who can earn up to Php5 in savings for every transaction.

Landers Superstore Uptown Mall BGC

     Hear ye, hear ye! Take your shopping experience up a notch as Landers Superstore opens another branch at the heart of BGC. Landers Uptown Bonifacio, the first Landers Superstore to have this spacious and instagrammable interior, is a perfect place for that ultimate holiday shopping experience.

      It’s a new concept store that’s worth experiencing because of the wonderfully curated merchandise that’ll suit the taste of all people living and visiting BGC. Super enjoyed checking out the 2 floors of top-notch products from fresh produce to super finds. I've been to different Landers Superstores in the past and this fifth branch in Metro Manila and the sixth in the country truly celebrates the premium shopping experience its members truly deserve.

Puregold to Launch Online Entertainment Channel

     Challenging and trying as the times may be, it is probably in our nature to try and find something that might give us that much needed lift in spirits. Whether it's busying ourselves with new-found hobbies, reconnecting with friends, or simply binge-watching movies, it's all about finding that pleasant diversion that reassures us that better days will come soon.

     Puregold recognizes this hopeful spirit as it continues to look after every Filipino's welfare amidst these uncertain times. As online consumption grows brought about by the "stay home" lifestyle, Puregold has contemplated venturing in this space to further reach out to its public. But this time, it sets out beyond being a retailer as we know it to be and explores the world of bringing entertainment to Filipinos.

Puregold to Launch Online Entertainment Channel

We found SALLY and she is...

     Let's go back in the early days of 2020 wherein Metro Manila commuters, while stuck in traffic, saw billboards about a certain "SALLY." The billboards, spotted on EDSA, C5 and in Commonwealth, sounded like someone is in need of SALLY. I presume you've seen lifestyle bloggers here in the Philippines were also looking for her. "SALLY, where are you?" "I need you, SALLY." "Wish you were here, SALLY." "Has anyone seen SALLY?" "Help me, SALLY."

     So who exactly is SALLY? SALLY is a coined term for Shopping Ally. This is what the newly launched PUREGOLD MOBILE stands for. Taking the grocery shopping experience to the next level, the app was designed by Puregold and Globe Telecom to adapt to consumer’s evolving needs and to keep pace with the technology in offering a better way to shop.

     Rush- one word that I hate to hear during the holidays. It is during this time of the year that our schedules turn into a whirlwind because of the gatherings, reunions, and preparations for Noche Buena and Media Noche. I also noticed that it's not only in preparing meals but also in buying gifts as well. All things related to Christmas may bring hassles in jampacked times.

     In these busy times, I thank the geniuses behind honestbee- Asia's fastest growing foodservice powered by community and technology that makes shopping for food and grocery items a breeze. They recently partnered with another leading hypermarket chain, Shopwise to give more choices to the growing population of online grocery shoppers.

honestbee x The Marketplace by Rustan's

     I had a conversation with my husband last week on what to prepare for the holidays. I told him that I wanted something special and not the usual 'handa' because I want to celebrate Christmas up a notch with premium food items on the dining table.

     When I say premium, these are the products or deli items that you will not see in a regular grocery or supermarket. The ingredients in making special dishes need imported or hard to find brands that are usually available in premium stores like The Marketplace by Rustan's. But when I think of the holiday rush, all I wanna do is stay at home and order my groceries from honestbee. Do you want to shop for premium grocery items in the comfort of your home? It's possible now that honestbee recently partnered with The Marketplace by Rustans. Check out the premium brands you can score after the jump :)

honestbee Christmas Offerings

     It's Christmas! I can't believe that three weeks from now we are going to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. December is the busiest month- parties here, gatherings there, and reunions everywhere. These celebrations mean eating- a lot! The perfect excuse to feast on your favorite holiday guilty pleasures we've been craving for all year long.

     Think of artisan cakes, gourmet ice creams, Lechon, truffle pasta, and all the viands best served during the holiday season, yum!!! But before these get inside your tummy, the holiday rush sinks in. Traffic and long qeues add to the stress on preparing these treats. Forget about the hassles as honestbee recently launched carefully curated food and gift items delivered to your doorstep. Sharing their Christmas food offering and Philippines Daily Inquirer's Best Desserts selection for that unforgettable Noche Buena feast :)

SM Supermarket Kids' City 2018

     If there's one activity that we love doing, that is no other than walking the aisle of a supermarket. It's a weekly family bonding that we look forward to every weekend. My son is always excited to accompany us in buying our food and other grocery items at SM Supermarket and Save More Market.

     There are two SM Malls near our place and it's just a stone throw away from where we live. We buy our everyday essentials at SM Supermarket most of the time because of complete assortments and well-organized aisle. There's another thing that we love about SM Markets- the annual SM Supermarket Kids' City celebration. Know more about the biggest kiddie party in the Metro below :)
