It’s time for Best Buy and Bye-Bye of the week!

Best Buy

I think my best buy for this specific week would be these monthly tab stickers. I use them for my planners, so whenever I get the chance, like right now, I try to hoard them kasi sa Pinas ko lang sila nabibili. Meron namang nabibili dito sa Canada, kaso hindi ko gusto yung designs plus mahal pa. Eh itong from @onthedotph sa Shopee, minimalist design lang, tapos less than a dollar lang per sticker sheet. ₱20 nga lang sya dati, ngayon ₱40 na. Pero mura pa rin naman compared dito.

First time kong makabili sa kanya nung 2024. Bumili ako ng tatlo (which is good for 3 years) para lang i-try muna. Tapos saktong papunta dito yung parents ni Kenneth, kaya nag-hoard na ko. Bumili na ko ng good for 6 years.

Bye-Bye

Mukang wala akong bye-bye purchase pero siguro ito na lang, kasi umiyak ako. Before kami pumuntang Costco para mag-grocery, sabi ko kay Kenneth, mag-drive thru kami sa A&W kasi feeling ko magugutom na ko. Ang usual purchase ko dun ay double buddy burger with cheese and extra mayo. I have major dislike for dry burgers and sandwiches kaya lagi akong naka-extra dressing.

Before we go to the weekly breakdown, as usual, Best Buy and Bye-Bye of the week muna:

Best Buy

Easily, it’s the honey butter red bean toast na binili namin sa Mari Bakeshop. Homaygash sobrang sarap!!!

Hindi talaga ko masyadong interesado sa kanya nung una kasi, toast? Na may red bean and cream? Eh. Since minsan lang kami mag-drive ng malayo papunta sa bakery na ‘to, I want to make it count. Pero nung nakita ko yung IG reel kung pano nila ‘to ginawa, nabudol ako. At ang pinaka-selling point: exclusivity. It was their ‘weekend special’. So hindi ko alam kung kelan ulit ako magkaka-chance na ma-try sya.

Kung titingnan mo, parang ang tigas kagatin diba? Ni-ready ko yung ngipin ko sa matigas na toasted tinapay. Pero pagkagat ko, it was perfectly flaky and crumbly. Una kong natikman yung tamis ng pagka-honey butter nung toast (yum), tapos biglang may creaminess contrast nung fresh cream and red bean paste (ugh!) Hindi sya papasa sa, “Masarap, hindi masyadong matamis.” kasi sobrang tamis nya. Pero wag ka, hindi sya nakakaumay. Nakakaadik pa nga. Dire-diretso ang kagat ko sa sobrang sarap.

Nung pinapa-try ko kay Kenneth, skeptical din sya. Pero tuwang tuwa din sya after. Pramis nakaka-amaze talaga yung sarap. Nung gabi during our weekly couple’s sesh at nagtanungan kami ng things to be grateful for, yung honey butter red bean toast ang sinagot nya. Ganun sya ka-impactful.

Bye-Bye
