How would we know if adulting had already hit us?

One way to know is when "grocery shopping or going on a grocery store make us excited." Well, is it true? For me, it's a hundred percent 'yes.'

As the eldest child of our parents and the family's breadwinner, I wanted to help with our needs. Yes, I may not be obliged or fully responsible to provide because it was our parents'. But, I want to especially that I am aware of our situation and that I can do something about it naman. And one of my many ways is to buy us some stocks at home.

Grocery shopping had been my monthly goal since June 2020 and glad that I still have the capabilities to do it until today. For this article, let's get to know how did my April grocery shopping venture goes.

For me to fulfill my goal, I must have the money. And since that I am just a mere-and-struggling college student, the primary way for me to acquire a passive earnings or money is through blogging. With the help of noise.cash and read.cash~

On the morning of 04.03.2022, I converted 0.262+ BCH from my 1.51+ BCH hodlings. As of 8:46AM, that 0.262+ BCH was equivalent to PhP 5000.00 or 97.03 USD.

I cashed it out and deposited to my bank account for easy and faster withdrawal. I only sent 4900 pesos and leaved the 90 pesos for my load then used the remaining ten pesos for the transaction fee. To make it back to 5000 pesos, I got a hundred pesos from my remaining bank savings.

So, the question is: "where is that 5K pesos ($97.03)?" Hmm, let's get to know the answer.

Grocery supplies

In here, my usual budget was PhP 2000.00. But since my younger sister has a face-to-face classes, she needs packed-snacks. And so, I decided to add a thousand pesos. So from two thousand pesos, it's now 3000 pesos. Well, that was just an estimated budget. Let's see if it's not enough or we'll have some changes or sukli.

In this article, I shared How I Do The Grocery Shopping. And, tadaaa! Here's what I've got for April's goal. Got here three baskets full of stocks and all~

And, guess what? I just spent a total of PhP 2838.75 ($55.07), including those that I bought outside the grocery supermarket. Such as the dishwashing detergents, other snacks, and etcetera.

See? I still have PhP 162.00 here. Where can I spend it? Let's find it out.

Face masks and basket organizers

Since we're about to ran out of face masks, I bought several boxes here. For us, adults and for our cousin-slash-happy-pill, Zavina. These three boxes only costs 125.00 pesos ($2.43).

What're these for? To organize our stuffs at the drawers, sakit sa mata kapag magulo eh. Yes, that's the OC me who's taking. LOL! Got these three basket organizers and a mini version for only 96 pesos ($1.86). Their colors are sooo cutie, pastel colors.

Afternoon snacks or "pasalubong"

Buying "pasalubong" for the family had been my routine whenever I'm going to the city proper. And for today's snacks, I bought here 8-pieces kani takoyaki from my fave stall and blueberry-flavored fruit tea.

And for the family, got here a buy 1-take 1 pizza supreme for only 165 pesos. Overall, bought these foodies for PhP 300.00 ($5.82).

Additional for April house rent and gasoline

Since I already saved PhP 1500 from my scholarship allowance, I only need to add 300 pesos ($5.82). And here's where it came from, from my BCH conversion. More so, I added worth of 100 pesos ($1.94) gasoline to Papa's motor.

And finally, here's what I've got from my grocery shopping venture. A big box, three brown papers, and etcetera.

To sum it up, I spent PhP 3759.75 or 72.95 USD from my original budget of PhP 5000.00 ($97.03). Where will the remaining 1240 pesos ($24.06) be spend at? That's for myself. Yes, after spending for the family's necessities, I should outlay some for me. To simply show love for myself at hindi puro pamilya lang~ also, for me to feel and taste the fruits of my hardworks and perseverance. 🧡
