Our day starts with a trip to Landers. I got all my totes ready for grocery shopping. I have both insulated bags and regular shopping bags from Landers. 

A rainy view of one of my favorite malls, Mitsukoshi

It was cloudy when we left and when we were near Landers, the rain decided to finally fall. 

Aside from the shopping totes, I also brought my regular tote that contains our water bottles, snack kit, etc.  

We didn't know that Landers was on sale that day. How fortunate we are to be able to park at our usual spot. 😊

I saw these flip flops that reminded me of Ipanema flip flops. The price points are the same. To my Australian Glow Girls, any feedback on this brand? Is it durable and worth the price? 

Childhood Sweets

While browsing the candy aisles, I found these childhood sweets. 

I didn't particularly like Haw Flakes, but all of my friends and sister were eating them, so I succumbed to peer pressure and ate them, too. 😆

Only the original! 

We had a lot of these hard candies from my grandma in the States

Kinder Joy was having a promo. You get a free Batman Tumbler with every box. 

Quick Snacks, Quick Dinners

I normally just eat two full meals a day. I'm so busy that most of the time I don't notice the time and end up eating lunch between 4-6 pm. At night, I just eat a small snack. I thought these would be perfect. Easy to prepare, but still filling. I was also curious to try them. 

I regularly make corndogs for my family, but sometimes I just don't have the energy anymore to cook. These will come in handy for nights when I don't want order takeout, but still want to eat something light. 

Oh, I love these baguettes! The first time I encountered them, they were on BOGO! As Landers was also on sale that day, I got them for BOGO again, so I got four. I use them to make crostinis.

Hazelnut Croissants for hurried mornings or light night snacks. Fingers crossed🤞 these taste good. 

More New Snacks to Try

I'm very curious as to how these crackers would taste like! 

This is our favorite. My son and I can finish a bag in one sitting if we don't pace ourselves! 😆

Another huge favorite of ours! I believe I showed this to you in one of my old posts, as well as the Lucia breadsticks. I think we only have a few pieces left of this candy in our snack box. 

I've been seeing this for quite some time, but didn't buy because of the price. It was on sale so I asked my son if he wanted to try it and he said yes, so in it went into our cart. 

We always have Meiji chocolate in our fridge, we especially like their black line. 

I keep different kinds of crackers to eat in the morning before I start my morning chores and cooking breakfast to avoid low blood sugar. 

Quick Lunch for ADHD Hyperfocused Days 

We already tried this and a quick check in my food blog revealed that I haven't reviewed this yet. Will write about this soon after I post all my backlog food posts! 😁

I want to try this, too. Pork steak is cooked in a soy-calamansi-onion sauce and eaten with rice. 

It seems that these are packaged as snacks, (maybe carnivore snacks?), but I got them to use for a dish I've been thinking about. 

I like shopping for meats and chicken at Landers because I can wash my hands after touching them. They have soap, paper towels, and a trash bin that's so convenient for shoppers like me who like inspecting their meats before buying. 

I was ecstatic when I saw this sign! I love shrimps, so of course I bought 2 kilos! As I type this, we've already used up a kilo. 😆

We walked around Landers with my son holding on to me like this. 😆 It was a challenge to shop, but I couldn't say no. 

While we were at the noodle aisle, a lady went up to my cart and told me that there were 1-peso Pringles. Thank you, kind lady! 

Original, Sour Cream, Cheese. We got all Sour Cream. We got 4 as my husband and I are both members. 

I got three kinds of pasta and the big can of chopped tomatoes below. You can tell how much we love pasta. 

Beauty Finds

There were so many new toiletries that day!

I want to try this. My skin reacts to Korean products positively, but I just bought a big bottle of Yardley's. Next time I'll be sure to buy a bottle.  

I wanted to try this, but my very knowledgeable beauty junkie friend said that this will be too much for my hair. 

I got a box of these. Review soon! 

I've been eyeing this Dove trio for a long time, but I won't be able to use one variant as I"m allergic. They look so pretty boxed up like that. 

I got this for my son, though. 

The sensitive and cucumber variants were on sale, too! We use the sensitive variant, but I got the Deep Moisture variant as my son's skin is changing. We need more hydration! 

Pretty bottles, but Olay is too harsh for me. Mom used to use Oil of Olay back in the day. 

I wonder what's special about this set. They're more expensive than Dove, and yet they come in smaller bottles. 

This is another product I'd like to try. Do you have any experiences to share about this product, minhas seguidoras lindas do Brasil? Share in the comments, please!

These are very affordable. I wonder if they're any good. 

Johnson's Japan! I'm not a huge fan, but this made me do a double take! 

This is a pretty good buy for all you St. Ives Facial Scrub fans out there. I remember, St. Ives was all the rage when I was a teen. 

I'm a sucker for pretty bottles and I've been eyeing these Pears for a long time. 

I want to try these, but I have to ask for clearance from my primary care provider first as I'm healing a skin infection. 

This is also a pretty good buy, but I'm not familiar with the brand. Any experiences, Glow Ladies?

We got a few more things like chicken, beef, milk, etc. and then it was time to pay. While my husband was busy at the cashier, I took this time to get a quick rest as we were going to three more different places after this grocery run. 

Stay tuned for Part 2 of my Soft Saturday Diary!
