Wet Market Sunday

Reader's Question Answered:

Question: Is that weekly supply of food and grocery? Hindi ka ba bumibili sa sari-sari store, say if you run out of oil or something like that?

Answer: I've just realized that I never bought anything from the sari-sari store since the day I arrived. It's not because I don't support small stores, is just that I am used to an American style of buying in bulk. Plus I do weekly meal planning and list everything I need, rummage through my pantry to see if I still have that certain ingredient before going to the grocery store/ wet market for our week supply of food and everything else. This is how I usually do things since my OFW days, it got carried over in my present life.


What I bought:

• Eggs: 12 pcs for Php 40 (3 pcs for Php 10) 

Got 3 pcs leftover from the previous week

• Veggies:  Php 69

• Kakanin: 5 pcs for Php 20 

My week isn't complete without buying some of these
