Raining Discounts with S&R Club Pricing

We had plenty of rain due to typhoon "Ruby" but it is still raining "discounts" in S&R shopping center!

There is high demand for practicality and frugality ever since people learned about the greenhouse effect and the reality that the things we enjoy today are not eternal. Even the idea of death presents the need for people to stay healthy and exercise to live longer. Hence, we are gradually becoming more and more conscious of the value of the things we possess. Since not all things are enjoyed for free, we find better ways to extend the value of money.

Discounts! Buy 1 take 1! Free! Great value! These are words and labels which top the results when we run our mental search engine looking for a certain item in a grocery or department store. Sometimes we scavenge through a mound just to find the discounted item because they become out of stock too fast. Not so much at S&R. There is always enough items tagged with an "S&R Club Pricing" logo for members.

Hot among the picks this December are Christmas decorations. The store has imported LED Christmas lights designs which you won't see anywhere else except in S&R.

LED lights are always the better option compared to incandescent bulb decors. Because they are packaged very nicely, they appear to be a little bit expensive compared to the latter, however, the long term savings is non-debatable. A LED bulb normally consumes 0.96 watts -- a far cry from the 5 watts power consumption of an incandescent Christmas light bulb. It lasts longer too!

Other than the bright Christmas lights, S&R Club Pricing tags are also on colorful cookie and cake jars, huge Santa stockings, and some Christmas tree ornaments. There are lanterns, ribbons, and snowman too! But, hey! S&R Club Pricing is not only on Christmas items. You can find the same tags on regular electric coffee makers, microwave oven, and air coolers too --- all potential gift items for our love ones this Christmas time.  View the complete catalog here.

He Who Watches

I kept watching the rain incessantly pouring through the glass wall of the coffee shop (Noriter - Dumaguete*) where I sat. Despite the movement around of people surfing the net in a nearby café, or of lovers intimately sharing some time together, and of kitchen crew cooking food for the customers, I felt as if the world around me stood still for a moment, and only I and the rain seem to show movement. As I kept watching, I began thinking about how my life’s progress seemed slow and dull.

It was not too long ago when I had my break at work. I just had my promotion then. It seemed pretty quick as others would comment since most of my colleagues were tenured than I was and despite the issues on the longevity of my stay, the supervisory position was offered to me over everyone else who may have aspired for it. Others put it as something I was made for, while most were just plainly dubious. I thought it was something undeserved. On the other hand, it was something I feared taking. Nevertheless, I took the offer despite much restraint. Part of me said “No”, but, whichever side of the coin I look at, Dr. Logic seems sure that it was “the only” option. Ignoring that would be utter stupidity.
