Weekends are considered the best days of the week, especially for those who are working every single day because it is family time. It is the time to do chores, planned activities, and also time for family bonding. Once again, I am here to share with you my activities and experiences this weekend, so please be with me as we delve into one of my best places to go during the weekend especially when there is enough budget to buy the needs at home.
To A Market We Go
Since This coming week is a holiday, I planned everything for our family activities. Such as, election voting, going to the LTO office to update my motorcycle plate, family bonding, and a family market day. I have savings in my Gcash that I withdrew from PeakD, (thanks to the HIVE for this opportunity to earn, and also to the supportive fellow Hivers) which is my backup for groceries. So Saturday afternoon, after our chores, we decided to visit the "Bagsakan", a market in our city that offers items at a very low price.
Bagsakan Market
"Bagsakan" is the term used by the Cebuano to describe the place where goods or items direct from the supplier or from the farmers are being sold, that's why they are at very low prices. The first area We went through was the dried fish area. Here we buy some dried fish that hits our taste.
We chose to buy dried galunggong fish which is 260/kilo. We only bought 1/2 kilo. We also buy "Pinikas" which is 180 per kilo.
We spent there 220 pesos on the dried fish, then we continued to the vegetable area. The vegetables being sold here are fresh from the farm. Since there are only a few vegetables in my vegetable garden at home, I bought some here. I bought 1/2 kilo of squash which is 40 pesos per kilo, 1/2 kilo of luffa gourd which is 50 pesos per kilo, 1 kill of bitter gourd which is 80 pesos per kilo, 1/4 kill of spinach which is 40 pesos per kilo, 1/2 kilo of Pechay which is 40 pesos per kilo, 1/2 kilo of eggplant which is 50 pesos per kilo.
After the vegetable area, we directly went to the fruit area. Here we bought some mangoes and bananas.
We spent around 700 pesos or around 13 dollars in the Bagsakan Market, and these are the goods we bought there.
Prince Warehouse We Go
After buying Goods in the Bagsakan Market, we decided to stop over at the Prince WareHouse Bogo, We decided to buy some stuff or groceries such as Noodles, toothpaste, canned goods, and other ingredients to make ice cream.
My daughter enjoys too much inside the Prince Warehouse as we are busy selecting goods there. I am the one who was carrying the basket. After buying some stuff, we directly went home. These are the goods that we bought in the Prince Warehouse, it costs around 800 pesos or 15 dollars.
Budgeting Money for our daily needs is not easy. We need to be wise enough to choose quality goods that suffice for our daily needs, which are healthy yet at low prices. It is also considered a quality time having time with the family strolling around a supermarket.
