Shopwise Lancaster

One of the things I love most about doing the weekly grocery shopping, is finding new products that can make my life easier in the kitchen and at home. There are a few places that I like to frequent for the different items we use weekly and monthly in the house, and Shopwise is on my list of go to grocery stores for a variety of reasons. Recently, I was invited to the grand launch of Shopwise Lancaster, and I was so happy that Nino could join me for this super bongga event that had me explore these new digs just a little bit further south.

Of course, we had to take the obligatory photo by the huge shopping cart! 

Once we arrived at Shopwise’s newest location, I knew that it was going to be a grand celebration of everything Shopwise is known for. This supermarket is an eighteen year old brand that has been serving generations of shoppers who are not only looking for quality meats, fish, and produce, but also the modern convenience of being able to consolidate where we shop for what we need for our households at affordable prices.

I always love it when Nino joins me for events like these. It means I actually get to be in some of the photos as well.

There was just so much going on! And the CHEER Dancers!

Erica Padilla opened up as the emcee of the program following the dance program of the cheer dancers. Shopwise executives, welcomed us into the hyper supermarket, and special guest appearances were spaced all through out the day, leading up to a very special concert by Up Dharma Down.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay for the concert (momma duties) but we had a great time exploring the supermarket with all of the deals and steals that they were offering shoppers for the day!

Here’s what we saw:

Produce that was not only FRESH but LOCAL.

Sometimes, I crave the fruit I grew up with…

And nectarines from Australia are the perfect fix.

And here they are, in all their glory front row and center at Shopwise Lancaster.

One thing I have learned is that I can save a peso or two by buying the store brand Sure Buy.

Taking advantage of Shopwise’s in-house store brand for a variety of different staples can make a big difference when it comes time to check out at the register.

Even bigger deals were seen all through out the store for the GRAND OPENING.

Like Buy One Take One on rice, chicken, bread, and even household items like hangers were where you could see shoppers taking advantage of the celebration.

But Nino and I were having fun exploring this new, sweet smelling, well organized supermarket. 

Magnolia Chicken Station DOES make my life easier when I’m in a hurry. From their breaded chicken strips that I can fry up quick and throw in the Yumbox, to the Chicken Inasal which I have yet to learn how to make…

With some of the usual suspects…

Kewpie is definitely a staple for us. Gia loves Spicy Cheese. We all love Creamy Sesame.

And the usual staples that we have in the ref and or the pantry, like Kewpie Salad Dressing and Mayo.

And when my love asked me to pose for him. I did. 

But not before I inspected and perused all the BIG SAVINGS PACKS for my family of six…

I do what I do for everyone in this photo, including making sure the house is well stocked with all the food that these five humans enjoy.

AND because Shopwise Lancaster also wanted to give us the opportunity to have a little bit more fun, we were given the chance to GUESS HOW MUCH the SHOPPING CART is worth.

Erica asked 10 of the guests at the launch to come up with a number closest to the total of the ingredients of the cart.

I must confess, I was way off. And here I was hoping I could not only take home the ingredients IN THE CART, but I was also hoping to win the gift certificates that the person who guessed correctly was awarded for her stellar guessing skills….

While exploring, Nino and I found the wine section…and I was curious to see what Shopwise was carrying in terms of Australian and Italian Wine.

After eating breakfast with everyone, Nino and I even had time to explore the food court, and the rest of the store after the doors were open to the public.

I went back to explore some of the meats and was surprised to see that there was a variety of both local and imported meats.

I also went back to take a look at the mangosteen, passion fruit, rambutan, and daladan. These are all the same local fruits that I love keeping in the house. Of course, each of my kiddos has their favorite.

Healthier options that are sugar free just make me feel like a better mom when I bring it to the table in the morning with hot pandesal.

And because we had to head back to Alabang to visit with my Best Buddies DLSZ, it was right around this time that we proceeded to the check out.

You know one thing I loved about this experience?

There was a chance to give immediate feedback about my experience. 

And that was when I realized, none of the other supermarkets that I frequent, have EVER offered this ability to me.

Nor do they have runners…er…bladers readily available and at your service. 

Are you wondering why he’s wearing roller blades? 

Well, you know when you get to the register and maybe one of your items doesn’t have a sku? This smiley guy right here will blade across the store with a swiftness and will be back with the correct price tag so you aren’t waiting at the register as long as you normally would…

Cool right?

  • earn and redeem points

I love it when a @bestbuddies_ph event comes toget I love it when a @bestbuddies_ph event comes together so easily. When Sandra Cheng shared that she was willing to share more about her benefits of @easecox.ig essential oils with our buddies, the team and I quickly brainstormed a program flow that was in line with this opportunity to learn. 

Grateful for @monicaemanzano who was so game to share a movement segment from @flowretreats. She thought of @curatedgoodfood who generously shared preservative free dimsum which goes perfectly with our healthy sammies from @h2v2partyneedsandcatering. @komida.foods has been a consistent supporter of our mission and events since last year. We are grateful for their continued mission of providing healthy snacks for our events!

We opened with @joanngue.mlg pranayamic breath work, moved on to a yoga flow with Monica, followed by mindfulness with @enzoarmovit, a gratitude circle, and then esssential oils for beginners with Sandra from Easecox Philippines.

What a wonderful morning spent with our Buddies in BGC! 

Thank you to everyone who made this event so easy to conceptualize and mount! 

PS. If you would like to be a buddy. Please PM me. Bugsy and I are so blessed to have one another and I love that we get to do things like this together!
Colors. My first girl got to go on her first med Colors. 

My first girl got to go on her first medical mission in October. 

Gosh, they grow up so fast. 

We bought her new scrubs for the trip. It feels like yesterday when I was buying her green skirts and black Mary Janes for grade school.

Now she’s all grown. On her way to becoming a doctor.
At some point during the evening, @gelliaventajado At some point during the evening, @gelliaventajado turned to me and said “Mom, thank you so much for bringing me here. I love Frozen.” 

As Gelli continues to grow up, some things remain the same. Her love for princesses, her love for her siblings, having fun with the family, and music and dance in any form. 

What an enchanted evening we had visiting the Samsung Theater in @_circuitmakati to watch the FROZEN film in CONCERT with a LIVE ORCHESTRA. From the moment Gelli hear the orchestra’s accompaniment to the film, to the vocalists who sang along, she was mesmerized.

Thank you @dotdigitalph for inviting Gelli to experience this up close and personal!! She had a blast!
