The Early Bird is... Early (Part 1).

Yes, folks. I have started shopping. I can't help it. Thursday, after my quick drop off for our visas at the Korean Embassy (yes, we're going to Korea!), I took my assistant G on a quick trip to S&R BGC. I had flashbacks of how this and that ran out of stock during past Members' Treats and so I found myself loading my cart with a few items. Eeps. Thank goodness a lot of the good stuff are already on Early Bird Sale. I am not sure if their prices will go any lower on Wednesday, but all is good. I am a happy S&R camper.

Thinks to self while munching on a Strawberry and Cheese Strudel (which incidentally is on Early Bird Sale at P129.95 for 15 pieces): I could shop here everyday.

We initially were just planning to have lunch. But I went around anyway to snap some photos (which incidentally, you can't do pala in-store, oops. Sorry to Ate Guard who told me, after I snapped over a dozen photos of items I wanted to make sure were in my cart next week. Yes, photos are handy! That way, I can have A look for the item, too! Hehe.

If you still haven't heard about it, S&R's Members' Treat is happening next week, from the 13th til the 17th of March. And if you aren't one for falling in line and doing all that crazy hoarding with a thousand others, here's good news for you. They have an Early Bird Sale. Avail of some popular Members' Treat items at Members' Treat prices...now. Yes, NOW. MAINTENANT. TODAY. AUJOURD'HUI.

But of course the big shebang happens on Wednesday. But like I said, if patience isn't your thing, do yourself (and everyone else) a favor, and go to the Early Bird Sale instead. Believe me when I say, after over 5 years of going to this event, I've seen many hotheaded folks getting worked up unnecessarily. Even because of very small, trivial things. This sale isn't for the short-tempered, impatient one. If you are one or the other, or both, but you really want to check out Members' Treat on their sale dates, DON'T GO ON THE FIRST DAY.

So anyway, let me share some of those Early Bird Sale photos with you. I am splitting this post into two parts. This preview is for non-food items. Yes, there are just too many photos (Read: Too many great deals, argh!)!

I didn't take photos of the tables anymore, since that always goes on sale each Members' Treat anyway.

Funny thing that happened earlier today: My boss, S, sent me a text telling me about the Early Bird Sale at S&R.

Boss: K, early bird sale at S&R. A lot of Buy 1 Take 1 and Sale items. Hehe, just went there. What's happening on March 13? More Sale items?
K: I already went there Thursday. Ako pa mahuhuli. LOL!

Boss: You're still going on the 13th?
K: Of course!

The photos are getting me extra excited. I can't wait for Wednesday! A has exams this week, so we are in the middle of Science and Language. I shall try to post part two tonight.
