SHOPPING FOR THE KITCHEN

We needed some new items for our kitchen like a new dish drainer because our previous one was bought about ten years ago…when we moved here to Bulacan and so expectedly the plastic cover had become quite brittle and broken in a few places and hence provides no protection at all to the dishes inside. I would’ve wanted my dishes to be organized inside built-in kitchen cabinets (something like the San Jose Kitchen cabinet system)… but alas I don’t think I have that kinda money to buy such cabinets just yet and so I had to settle for the next best thing…

We found the dish drainer from Orocan at the SM Homeworld, they were on sale so the price was something like P999.00 from a previous price of PhP1200, I think…We also bought a new rice dispenser with a 25 kilos capacity because our old dispenser could only hold 10 or 15 kilos and so most of the time the rice left in the sack would be infested by rats. Finally, the hubby decided, too, to replace our old thermos since the one we had been using couldn’t keep the water hot for an entire day so we had to heat water again if we wanted to have another round of coffee in the afternoon. We bought a few other knick-knacks like some black bowls and some water jugs so our total bill amounted to about PhP4,000.++ The clothing allowance we were expecting since early January is yet to be given to us so I used my credit card for the meantime – thank God for plastic!
