For the plastic organizer addicts out there, I found some great plastic containers at Royal Subic. They only cost US$ 1.10 ( 4 pack rectangular ), US$ 1.15 ( 2 pack large size ) and US$ 1.35 ( 4 pack square). That is much much cheaper than the organizers in the Japan Home store where everything is P 88.00 and these come in packs of 2 and 4! They come in different colors, if I remember correctly - they had orange and neon green aside from the black, white and pink that I bought. I am going back to BUY MORE!!! I am obsessed with these things even if my things are still messy and maybe might not even have things to put in them :-)
Always a definite stop when at Subic. We go here almost everyday when in Subic. So make sure you have a Royal Loyalty Card to earn points and to get special deals while in Subic.
To apply for an Royal Loyalty card, customers must present P3,000 worth of receipts or pay a fee of P200. Customers can also earn points using their Wisecard or Fresh Shopping Rewards cards ( Rustan’s Supermarket ) in Royal Duty Free. Benefit of this is that you can claim your rebates in Manila, most especially if you are not a frequent shopper of Royal Duty Free

I am a loyal Rustan’s supermarket shopper but I will definitely go to Shopwise just to buy the new items i discovered:
Shopwise Belly bacon!! unhealthy but everything I look for in bacon - fat, fat and more fat.
It is 250 grms. for P 84.00. The best bacon for me in the Philippines is Hormel at P 110.25 for 220 grams. I did a taste test and I would not mind substituting the belly bacon. But Oscar Mayer for me is still the best bacon in the world and it is sometimes available in Rustan’s though I know that sometimes someone makes pakyaw the stocks even if it costs 3 to 4 times local brands.So i only buy it when we go to the States
……besides bacon is bad for your health!
Another discovery is the red lady papaya by Betagro. I am not biased because I know my friend, Mayet Asis Batungbacal, supplies it.
I asked the sales staff there to give me the sweetest papaya they had and this is what she gave me. When i got home I saw the brand and recognized it. It is really so good and different from the others we have tasted. James actually reminds me to buy some more and specifically refers to this one. I am glad even fruits are BRANDED.
The last item is this cute heart panty which I bought for my niece Danni. It had a cute heart dangling under a ribbon for only P 39.95.

Shopwise opened it’s 7th branch today at Sucat, Paranaque. This for me is one of the best Shopwise stores I have been to and I particularly like the facade of the building as it reminds me of the first Rustan’s department store in Makati. I did some shopping and all the store staff were friendly and gave excellent service. Some of my best buys were Buy 1 Take 1 China Ya pears ( 6’s X 2 ) for only P 59.95 and China Fuji apples ( 6’s X 2 ) for only P 54.00. I wish I had more time as it was getting late, so I guess I will just have to go back for more. Congratulations to my cousins Donnie and Crickette for another successful venture. MORE POWER!
