Today we had a quick stroll at the city to buy some goods for a one week budget. Now a days, here in the Philippines 1000 peso is so hard to budget for a weeks grocery especially when you have a kids in your home. They tend to be hungry all the time, so snacks is must at your refrigerator. My son, he is 2 years old now and know how to open our refrigerator, it was a dilemma for me as a mom if there is nothing inside our refrigerator, so every week we go to the market to buy some biscuits , milk and foods for everyday.
Together with my son with his spiderman costume, he really loves spiderman that's why his father bought him one. That's our happiness right now, when we can see how excited our children when we give them a surprise even though it's a simple one, they are so delighted and they are my inspiration to work harder everyday. for them to have a brighter future.
On our way to the City, you can see that we are surrounded by rice fields, since the primary work here in our place is farming. The road is not quite nice here especially when it rains. I think we can reach the city around 20 minutes.
Around 10:00 am when we went to the city and we arrived at 10:30, there is a bit traffic as you can see on the picture. Our first stop was on the bank to withdraw some cash for our budget for the week.
This is the municipality of the city that we always went whenever we will go buy for goods. Roxas City was the nearest city in our province. As you can see there's still the Santa Claus statue on their municipality. This city was also known for their "Pinakbet Festival" which was celebrated around month of March. We always visit it because there are artist that always performs in their fiesta.
Second stop was here at the vegetable section, They all look fresh and the price makes you cry, just kidding. I just bought some squash, beans, pechay, onions, garlic and eggplant for the vegetables. I also bought 1 tray of egg which is must in our kitchen. I tend to cook food that has an egg on it , almost everyday. It's really nutritious and easy to cook that's why. I spend almost 1000 peso on the vegetables except for the groceries so 1000 peso was really not enough.
My last stop was here at the Grocery mart, I just bought what is necessary here like biscuits for my kids, coffee because coffee is a must especially in the morning. Sugar, oil, toothpaste, soap and some things for my personal hygiene. After I paid it on the counter. We decided to go home now because my toddler is already crying out loud. It was really a tough decision to budget your money for a week. That's why an extra income is really important especially when you already have a family to feed, but everyday we thank God for the blessing that we always have because we know that God will always provide as long as you pray and of course we must work for it. That's all for today again. I hope you enjoyed reading my story today.
