Frugal Market Finds: Nilaga Pack

I posted my first Frugal Market Finds here, and it somehow triggered me to do more of that. So I am sharing you today another dose of my frugality, or whatever it is called. I bought the nilaga pack in Ever Supermarket in Parang, Marikina City. One of the store's staff was just stocking it up on the shelf, so I assumed it was still fresh. And yes, it is. I got the least expensive pack as it's just me and my little girl at home. I inspected, scrutinized and thought hard about each of its content before finally buying it. What's inside the nilaga pack?

Frugal Market Finds: The Life-Saver Pinakbet Pack

Today, I went to the market. My frugal inner self talked to me once again. These are my finds in quantity and with its prices:
                            

It's not costly plus it's healthy! I sometimes find it hard to think of what to feed my 4-year-old preschooler since she eats like a bird; buying in small portion is not an easy feat. But veggie packs such as shown in the photo is definitely a life-saver. LB eats squash and eggplant (without the peeling). As of this post, the bananas were all gone --- I only ate one. So we know who the culprit is. 

How about you mommas, what are your inexpensive and healthy ways in marketing?

Bebeng Goes to Market

Armed with my 3-year-old bayong & a purse from Davao

When I was a kid, my mom used to tag me along with her during her weekly wet market trip. We went to Nepa Q-Mart in Quezon City. I remember one time that she didn't, because she said I have the tendency to be "bilmoko" (short for BILI MO KO), a Pinoy pun for one who wants anything seen bought for her. I cried with my monologue "Mama, sama mo 'ko!" And when I realized she's not at home and left already, I just cut my bangs really short. Rebellious act, indeed. She didn't scold me though when she got home but after that incident, I can't find the scissors when I was doing a project for school! Well, this isn't about how I was as a kid, but how I started my love for shopping, wet market included.
