Indulging to Asian Goodies

We went to Pittsburgh last weekend because we no longer have Asian  goodies in our pantry.  We brought $200 dollars with us and  we spent every penny of it wahhh.  Everything is getting expensive, even a can of  coconut milk which was $1.79  during our last shop, is over $2 now, whew!

We live in Weirton so it takes an hour to drive from our place to Pittsburgh so when we shop, we make sure to get the things we need as it would take  months  before we could shop there again.  The good thing is we got the things that we love including a  box of  champagne mangoes, a case of coconut juice, mixes that I need for my cooking, canned goods,  asian veggies, and more.
Mangoes are produced from Mexico, it's the closest thing to our Philippine mangoes which we all love except our son.  Anyhow, this would last us  a couple of months, well except the mango as it is getting eaten so fast lol.  Indulging myself with Asian goodies is my only vice hehehe.

How I miss mangoes, they were so cheap in S.Africa and the ones we get here are not only expensive but not that tasty either! Take care Diane

that is one bulk shopping. Filipino goodies are getting expensive nowadays even here in Singapore. I have to buy lots when I visit home.

The mangoes here in the Philippines is very affordable. You can buy worth P100.00 and it's already 2 kilos. Just like you, my mom loves shopping in a Pinoy store.

i'm so happy for you sis that you'll finally be able to satisfy your craving for asian food, especially filipino food. i saw some nagaraya and pancit canton. it's a good thing that the store's a few steps away from here or else i'll suffer from craving too. :)
