Monday FREEBIE Day!

Yesterday is a Freebie day for us! We got to take home the items below for free...

Maybe you are curious how we did it so I'll share it with you now. =)

* Half Max's Fried Chicken - It's from an Eastwest Bank credit card promo. I exchanged a P4,000.00 worth of Eastwest Bank credit card transaction for a half chicken.

* 2 bottles of 1.5L of Coke - These are from Shell's promo. For every P2,000.00 single or accumulated purchase of Fuelsave fuel or P1,500.00 single or accumulated purchase of V Power Nitro, you got to take home 1 bottle of 1.5L Coke.

* Coffee Maker, Slow Cooker and the rest - Halo halo na ito. I combined the GCs I got from HSBC and hubby's token from a post marketing survey plus my points in my BDO rewards card.


Ang saya saya di ba? Ang sarap lang gumastos ng walang nilalabas na pera eh. Yung mga promo promo na ganyan, lagi kaming updated ni hubby. As in career kung career yan. Sayang kasi eh kung hindi i-aavail di ba?

Like yung sa mga credit card promos, if ever may schedule na big purchase, grocery shopping or mag gas up kami, research muna kami sa internet kung may available na promo yung credit card namin. So by the time na magbabayad na kami, alam na namin kung anong card ang gagamitin namin and kung how much ang ipapa-swipe namin for each card.

Then yung ibang promo, masid masid lang habang nasa biyahe or naglalakad. Kailangan mabilis lang ang mata para updated. Hehe.

Then yung mga BDO Rewards or other loyalty card. It helps din talaga kasi you earn points while spending. Then by the time na ayaw mo maglabas ng cash, may pondo ka.

Sa credit card points naman, dapat aware tayo. Yung iba kasi hindi pinapansin yung mga points na na-e-earn nila tapos na-eexpire lang without them exchanging it for something. Sa amin, ang gawa ko, I monitor it. Madalas we exchange it for GCs kapag malapit na ang pasko. Dagdag budget din kasi yan. =)

O di ba? Career lang talaga? Hehe. =)

How about you kina-career niyo rin ba yung mga promo na ganito?

Mrs. Fields Treats from Standard Chartered Bank

At last! We already claimed some of our free Mrs. Fields Treats from Standard Chartered Bank.

Here they are...

Assorted brownies and mini cookies. Yum! Yum!

Since these are too sweet for me, these treats will just be for hubby and the Kulilits. Hehe. =)

Gassed Up for Coke and Max's =)

May hindi pa ako naikwento sa inyo. Eto yung mga latest experiences namin sa paglagay ng gasolina sa aming munting sasakyan. Hehehe.

May promo kasi ngayon ang mga Shell gas station. That is may libreng 1.5L Coke whenever you gas up (see their promo here). At the same time, on-going din ang promo ng EastWest Bank for Max's Fried Chicken (see their promo in my blog here). Knowing me, I took advantage of those promos. Sayang ang freebies di ba? Aminin, sino ba naman ang aayaw sa libre? Hahaha!

So eto na...

Scenario 1: Full Tank Didn't Reach P2,000.00

Minsan ako na ang nagvolunteer magpagas ng car ni hubby para habang kumakain siya ng dinner, nagpapagas na ako. So dali dali akong pumunta sa nearest Shell sa amin at nagpafull-tank. Napuno at kinalog kalog na ang sasakyan pero hindi pa rin umabot sa P2,000.00. Bitin ng P62.00. Sabi sa akin ng gasoline boy na ok lang dahil accumulated purchase naman yung P2k para maka-avail ng Coke. Pero sa akin, hindi ok yun dahil kailangan umabot ng P2k ang pag-swipe ko sa credit card ko para ma-avail ko yung promo. Hehehe.

Alam niyo ba kung ano ang ginawa ko para lang umabot ng P2k yung babayaran ko? Nakiusap ako sa gasoline boy na mag-abang ng jeep o tricycle na magpapagas and willing ako maghintay para ma-avail ko ang promo. Hahaha! Buti na lang at may tricycle kaagad na dumating. Actually, P50.00 lang ang ipapakarga niya pero di ko alam kung paano napapayag ng gasoline boy na P62.00 ang ipakarga. So ayun, solve na ang problema ko. May Coke na ako, may Max's pa ako. Hehehe.

Scenario 2: Natuyuan 

Eto ang the best experience! Para lang umabot ng P2k ang full-tank, pinakiusapan ko si hubby na isagad yung gas niya. Ok naman nung una, nakaabot sa bahay kaso lang iniwan muna niya na naka-idle yung sasakyan knowing na ready na kami umalis. Unfortunately, medyo natagalan kaya ayun, saktong sakto nung pagsakay namin sa car biglang tumigil! Natuyuan ng gasolina yung sasakyan namin!!! Sa ilang taon namin nagmamaneho, ngayon lang kami natuyuan ng gasolina at dahil lang yan sa mga promo promo na yan! Hehehe.
         
And for hubby, sobrang tawang tawa siya sa akin dahil sa ilang taon niyang minamaneho yung sasakyan niya, ngayon ko lang daw sinisi na walang warning sign yung gas niya. Hahaha. Kaya sabi niya kaagad sa akin na wag kong kalimutang iblog ito. Hehehe.


Kayo ba mahilig din ba mag-avail ng mga promos? Ano ang pinakahibang na experience niyo when it comes to availing promos? Share naman...

Labor Day Grocery Shopping

We did our monthly grocery shopping today at South Supermarket. As usual, I'm with the whole gang - Dr. Padu and the kulilits.

I just want to share you the freebies that we got for today at the supermarket.

Milo Champion Mix Shaker...

This if free for every 1 Kg of Milo that you purchase. I got two para di mag-away ang mga kulilits.

Lady's Choice Mayonnaise Sachet...

This is free for every half dozen of  eggs that you purchase.

Nestle Temptation Ice Cream (800ml)...

This is free for every P1,000.00 worth of Nestle products that you purchased.

Yan lang po muna ang mashare ko for today. =)

Credit Card Perks of the Day

I was able to get the following for free this afternoon...

Big N' Tasty from my Metrobank credit card which I gave to hubby since I'm not eating pork and beef anymore. I have two transaction slips pa nga kaso hindi na pasok sa promo period. Napahiya pa nga ako kasi all the while akala ko until March 15 ang promo nila. Hehehe.

Sesame Street 3 DVD Pack from my Standard Chartered credit card. I was able to redeem P300.00 worth of SM gift certificate which I used to buy this. The remaining balance was paid using my BDO rewards points.

Ang saya ano? I don't have any cash out today. Sana lagi na lang may promo ang mga credit cards para parati akong may freebies. Hehehe. =)

Freebie: Milo Canister

Happy ako sa freebie ng Milo. Small thing pero masaya na ako. If you buy 1 Kilo of Milo, you get a free canister kasi. Nakakatuwa lang kasi before sa 2 Lock and Lock containers ko pa sinasalin yung Milo. At least ngayon, yun na ang magiging lalagyan ng Milo namin.

Cute naman di ba? By the way, I got the basketball design. 3 designs kasi ang available - basketball, soccer and volleyball. Hopefully sa next grocery shopping ko meron pang ganito para ibibigay ko kay Mama G. Nagustuhan din niya kasi eh.

SWAG: Doughnuts & Wine

Hubby brought home some stuffs again! 

Thank you loyal patient for the Novellino wine...

Thank you med rep for the delicious JCO doughnuts...

These are simple things that make us happy...

SWAG: Papaya & Broas

Thank you to the very appreciative patients of my hubby! Di lang nakakapagpataba ng puso, pati na rin ng katawan. Hehehe...

2 humongous papayas from a patient at Sta. Rosa Hospital and Medical Center...

Delicious broas from a patient at Medicard Philippines Head Office...

Overnight at Crowne Plaza

Last October 27 (ang tagal na ano?), we had a free overnight stay at Crown Plaza Hotel c/o a certain pharmaceutical company. Hubby kasi had to attend something there eh. Nauna na kami mag-check-in sa room ng mga kulilits since hubby needs to work pa. So ayun kami, we enjoyed muna our stay in the hotel room.

I took some photos of our room. Let me show you...

The bathroom...

The bar...

The work table and TV (mukhang di pa sila nag-uupgrade kasi luma na yung TV nila)...

Sofa...

Our king-size bed which the kulilits enjoyed...

So what did we do at Crowne Plaza?

Well, ako nag-update muna ako ng FB ko. Hehehe. I uploaded all my pending pictures there. Then, habang natutulog ang mga kulilits, I went muna sa Robinsons Galleria to buy milk for the kulilits and some merienda. I bought them McDo Spaghetti Happy Meal. Do you want to see how they ate the spaghetti?

Tantadada...

O di ba? Parang di kumakain mga kulilits ko. Hehehe. Talagang sindadya ko silang hubaran dahil alam kong makalat sila kumain. Kawawa naman ang maglalaba ng hotel towel kasi yun ang pinampunas namin sa kanila.

After eating, we bathed them and we went to the mini play area of the hotel.

You can see here that they are very excited nung nakalabas na sila sa hotel room...

Here are kulilits playing sa mini play area ng hotel...

After playing, we went back to our room para magchange costume ang mga kulilits. We will go kasi to my Ninong's house in Quezon City para sa Halloween Party ng Garcia Clan eh. Mga Chinese dolls ang mga kulilits sa gabing ito. Since we have to wait for Mama G and Papa G, laro laro muna ang mga kulilits sa room.

Pati ang sahig, di pinatawad. Nagpagulong gulong ang mga kulilits...

Ian

Wrestling time...

Rest muna for awhile...

Nag-ala rockstar ang mga kulilits...

Hubby's favorite picture of the little rakistas...

Sobrang daming nangyari that day no? Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit hindi ako nangangayayat eh. Hehehe.

SWAG: Mary Grace Cheese Rolls

Hey look what my hubby brought home last night...

Cafe Mary Grace Cheese Rolls!!! Yum! Yum!

SWAG: KFC Bucket Meal

A Happy Patient = A Happy Tummy!

A patient at San Pedro Doctor's Hospital gave hubby a KFC Bucket Meal yesterday.

Again, I'm so proud of my hubby. Nakakataba kasi talaga ng puso kapag nakikita mong naaappreciate siya ng kanyang mga patients eh. It just means na mahal siya ng patients niya and he's doing good in his profession.

To my hubby...Keep it up bebe! I'm a proud wifey and I'm your number one fan!!! Mwah!

Santa Vittoria Iced Tea from Standard Chartered Bank

I got some freebies again from Standard Chartered Bank. =) In exchange of P2,500.00 worth of purchases, I got to get 2 bottles of Santa Vittoria Iced tea from The Wine Depot. Kainis lang since you are limited to 3 transactions only. It means to say that I need to go back there to exchange my other charge slips.

Anyway, it is still for free! Cool huh?

Portable ECG Machine

A certain pharmaceutical company has a program for new cardiologists wherein they give out portable ECG machines. Since my hubby is a new cardiologist, he got one too. =)

It was last Friday when the machine was awarded to him. My hubby asked me to come with him during the awarding of the machine at Omikase (located at Molito Alabang). Bongga di ba? Kami na lang ang bibigyan ng ECG machine tapos may kasama pang dinner.

The med reps ordered a lot of food. Gusto ko sana kunan ng picture kaso dyahe naman kaya nagpigil na lang ako. Hehehe. We had Sushi Deluxe, Sukiyaki, Rib-Eye Steak, Asupara Beef Roll, Chicken Teriyaki, Ebi Tempura and Salmon Teppan. Dami talaga no? Hindi nga namin naubos eh.

Chika chika muna, then after the dinner, the ECG machine was given to hubby na. Siyempre di nagpakitang excited si hubby kaya di muna niya binuksan ang box. We just opened the box when we arrived home and here is the picture of the ECG machine...

Freebies at SLEX

Don't you love freebies?

Just this afternoon when we passed by SLEX, we received some freebies at Nichols exit and here they are...
