Snickers Just Got Smaller

I feel shortchanged with this Snickers bar. Though someone pointed out that there is a Snickers with a size between the regular one and the bite size, I don’t think this is it because I paid a price equivalent to the regularly sized one.

Snickers, what happened?

Photo first posted here.

Besides, if I wanted a smaller one, I would have gotten a bag but this didn’t come from a bag but from a box with similarly sized wrapper.

Disappointed because there should have been an extra bite somewhere there 😉

Different

If women love to go (window) shopping for clothes and shoes, I’d pretty much be content and “lost” in a hardware store. No kidding.

I am no interior decorator than I am an architect but there is something I particularly like about being in a hardware store, never mind if I only have to get a pot or a nonsoil for my very few garden plants.

I’d gladly look at aisles where shower heads, motors, blinds, tables, plant pots, and light fixtures are displayed. Am I weird?

Jelly Marbles

Once upon a time, we were so loving jelly marbles that we had them grow in a bottle. The children excitedly took note of how these grew day in and day out. We had to throw these away after a few days due to a reason or two for which I can’t actually remember. Ahem. I think it had something to do with toxicity because these are not the one from Science experiments but bought from the tiangge.

Anyway, I got surprised when I saw an Orbeez Magic Maker while surfing the web. I want one for my kids!!! 😀

I’m sure lots of children are going to love these.

Now, I wonder where we can buy in the Philippines. 

Now I know, I saw these at Toys ‘R Us yesterday when we had lunch at TriNoma before the son’s medical check-up.


California Berry Ice Ice Baby

Sometime ago, I purchased California Berry’s Ice Ice Baby vouchers for the family.

I know we had these yummy desserts a long time ago, but I’m just blogging about it now.

Anyway, the kids enjoyed the idea of using the vouchers so much so I got another set of vouchers earlier this month. LOL.

gummy bears

Gummy bears and blueberries. Don’t ask, lol.

oreo

Oreo bits and shaved ice ala cookies and cream.

kiwi

Banana and kiwi slices.

There are so many kinds of vouchers to be bought online from restaurant vouchers (we’ve had a few of these) to vacation packages (no thanks), car cleaning services (we availed of this before too), cakes (I just ordered one a few weeks ago), “beauty procedures” (ahem!) and gadgets (we did too and had ordered another one last night). I wonder what they’ll think of next time: motorhome repair, leaky roof repair, gardening services or home-based pet grooming services?

I saw a house-cleaning services in one of the sites. I think I need more than one voucher, LOL.

Gifting Season via Online Discount Vouchers

Gifting season is around the corner and I’m sure lot of people have their lists being filled up. Not me though, haha.

Been busy with a lot of things and as always, shopping takes a backseat. I’m enjoying doing some online shopping recently and as a matter of fact, I just purchased several vouchers for frozen yogurt and a cake (this will be delivered at home, woot).

Two months ago, we had a music players delivered to our home, bought 50% off from an online store. We also enjoyed our 50% off the price chocolate cake courtesy of another online discount voucher. I’m wondering though if I should buy Christmas presents from these sites. I’m getting ideas for gifts for boys online as well as gifts for family friends.

Last night we had a great time at a Japanese restaurant, thanks to 2 vouchers purchased online at 50% off the price.

I don’t know why I still haven’t written about our foray (mostly food vouchers) into these online discount voucher “shopping” since all purchases have been good. So far.
