More Inflation

It's unfortunate that this thread and a few others have turned messy with all the nonsense posted. I will report the posts and request the mods to have them removed. Sorry to say that your response to the drivel will also have to be removed. But for now,  I would like to request members to refrain from feeding the troll.

I think this would make this and other threads more pleasant for everyone to read, and not end up getting closed for members who might be able to contribute meaningful and informative posts.

@FilAmericanMom  Necessary measures have been taken for the two threads that you reported as well.

@Enzyte Bob

Sir,  just wanted to comment on my observation of your spedning..

22,000 spend at S&R ?? is that nearly on average  how much you spend monthly?
if so, Yikes!   I often shop at S&R as well monthly, but my bill is but a third of that....scary...

@cherryann01,

I know you were asking for percentages from kristopherryanwatson. But here's an idea on checking out the prices at supermarkets: Open a Metromart account.

Metromart is an online delivery website. They deliver at my area for Robinson's Supermartket and S&R. (I think they also deliver for Ace Hardware.) If you want, I can PM you an address near those 2 stores to input as delivery address . (I believe Metromart needs other information and verification but I don't remember what.)  The price of items bought through Metromart and bought in person at the supermarket are the same.

I don't buy produce and seafood from supermarkets, but instead buy them at a wet market or "palengke."  It's because, from my experience, supermarket-bought produce and fish easily go bad and are not as fresh as those you can buy at a  palengke.  They're also more expensive. The price of produce at a palengke is around 20-50% less than at a supermarket.

Speaking of "inflation," it's so annoying when there is too much of it in the forum - ego inflation from you-know-who,- messing up the thread. Sorry I have to say this: TBH, I'm contemplating on either just not visiting the site anymore or terminating my account because it's a waste of time scrolling through line upon line of nonsense and grandiosity to try to find something that's worth reading.

Thank you so much for sharing.  With the consideration of that number in your 'company' its no wonder that bill is so high. It certainly puts things into perspective.

As for myself, my food bills cover myself and my partner, and her 14-year old daughter.  very straight forward. food bills are no more than about 7-11 k for all groceries. and then perhaps another 3.500 - 4000 for dining out and entertainment at the most..

@Cherryann01

Hi ! 

I said i would provide you a reply on your inquiry and i certainly did not want to let you down.
Kindly see below for my breakdown....


15% on weekly visits to the market (2 times a week)
15% on dining out/delivery (2-3 times at the most)
20% on 1 monthly visit to S&R  (As per someone's mention before, if you're not familiar, S&R is a lot like CostCo in the US)

the rest  of my income goes towards bills, entertainment, any unplanned expenses, savings.

do let me know if you have any other questions.

@kristopherryanwatson Thank you very much for the info. I think I now have a better understanding regarding food and drink shopping.

@Cherryann01

You're very welcome.

Feel free to DM if you have any questions outside the parameters of our current Forum discussion. they are certainly more than welcome!
