My Loot from the S&R Sale

by //

Almost everyone I knew shopped here last weekend: This sale is one of the biggest that S&R offers exclusively to its members. My parents and I checked out the sale last Saturday and the lines inside were insane!   We lined up to the cashier for almost 4 hours or rather, my dad did, while my mom and I did our shopping.   No complaints though, because the S&R ...

Pond's Anti-Bacterial Facial Scrub.  I've been using ... READ MORE

Look what we've brought home from the weekend sale at Robinson's Place in Manila: Hardbound books from Booksale! Only P60 each (around $1.40 each)! Nikolai Grozni's Turtle Feet has long been in my book list and it was a pleasant surprise to find it among the many hardbound books on sale at Booksale.    And as I have been a big fan of Anita Diamant since I read The Red ...
