I am a Hoarder…

Yes, I’m a hoarder. I won’t deny it. Nobody in my family minds. They’re actually quite supportive about it. Now don’t get me wrong. I don’t hoard old stuff. I hoard new stuff. Check out the photos below.

These are my son’s wipes. We have antibac wipes, baby wipes and hand and mouth wipes. The Hello Kitty packs on the side are facial tissues. I got them all for free with the Giggles baby wipes. The antibac wipes I got 2 + 1. I no longer have to buy facial tissues for myself for around 6 months or more because of the number I have in my stockpile. Both my son and I benefit from this drawer.

Believe it or not, I have a method to my madness. I only hoard stuff if I can save money or get a good deal. Here’s more..

These are my son’s diapers. If I get the biggest bag, I get 8 free. I searched the supermarkets to get the best deal and I got it at S&R. We seldom go to S&R now because of the baby so I took advantage of it and got a couple of bags. I’m hoping this stock will last us until the end of the year. I save money on our grocery bill and on gas.

These are boxed tissues. They’re actually not on sale or anything. I just like buying one month’s supply at the beginning of each month. I don’t like going back and forth to the store and I especially don’t like running out at an inconvenient time.

Under the boxed tissues are paper towels. I have a ton of those because they rarely go on sale. I got a buy 3 get 1 free deal. I estimate that we won’t have to buy paper towels until February.

I also have these Breeze laundry detergent which I got on BOGO. I no longer have to buy detergent for one year! I also have matching fabric conditioners but my supply is running low on that and there are no good deals in the groceries yet.

I also like buying my toiletries. I have several jars of my favorite lulur scrub. I got them at BOGO and they will last me probably until summer or longer.

Lastly, my favorite curling lotion from Monea. They are always out of stock so I buy around 3 bottles at a time. I found a few lurking in my toiletries drawers when I took inventory after I gave birth.

I have a few more stuff in my stockpile that includes toothbrush, more facial tissues, cotton, lotion, bar soaps, etc. I got them all either on sale or on BOGO or I got a really great deal on them (like Php99 for 3 toothbrushes and 16 packs of facial tissues).

So, yeah.. I’m a hoarder and my family couldn’t be happier about it. But there’s just the problem of space though. = )

  1. wooow you have so many tissues! haha! I can totally relate with you! I have a habit of buying items which are on sale or on BOGO even if I know I won't be needing them soon. I have 6 big size Colgate toothpastes now and I bought em just because they're on sale for 99pesos for 2 tubes! :))

After buying a lot of stuff on the first floor, we headed upstairs to eat a light lunch. Mom was getting hungry. My son and I just ate, but we said that we will accompany her and will just order something light. 

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
