Honest Bee Philippines Review

Because it’s raining cats&dogs lately and going to the grocery is becoming more challenging, I decided to give Honest Bee Philippines a try. This is a short Honest Bee Philippines Review plus some tips on how to make this one work, even though your location is not yet included on their list.

Honest Bee Philippines Review

First step: Sign up at Honest Bee Philippines under my account (sayang referral fee mga beshies, pang Pampers na ni Marius yan, wag nyo na ipagkait sa akin.) Click the image above or click this link. Opo. ako si Pilipinas. Opo. Makabayan ang mga magulang ko. Huwag mo na uratin yung pangalan ko, mag sign up ka na.

Of course I also signed up using someone’s link.

Step #2. Give your address.

Ganyan din nakuha ko na message when I put my address. The trick is, use a different one. Try nyo yung street na mas malapit sa inyo, drag mo lang yung pointer until you get an address na pasok sa area ni Honest Bee. Pero beshie, wag naman mga 10KM away from you ha, over na yan. Yung mga 500meter-1km lang naman ang layo.

Pag ang nearest possible address sa’yo eh mga 5km away, huwag mo na i try. Check mo yung kumare mo sa Maynila, baka pwede na sa area nila. Pag pwede na, i address mo na sa kanya. May time and date naman ng delivery so maabangan mo yan. Maki kape ka na din kila mars.

And that’s the best thing I can say about Honest Bee. Walang delay! Di gaya ng regla mo na mukhang delay na naman ng 10 days o ng sahod mo na laging delay. Pag sinabi nya na ang delivery time ay 1-2 PM, asahan mo tatawag yan at hahanapin ka asan ka man.

Step 3. Start Ordering

Noong una, na overwhelm ako sa 500 Off na makukuha ko. I got excited. Parang gusto ko i cart lahat doon. Pero wais misis ito. I have a list of our monthly grocery items.

Of course, hindi ko naman lahat yung bibilhin in one go. The goal is to but at least 2000 pesos worth of grocery to avail the 500 off and also free delivery.

Step 4. Use your coupon on check out.

If you’re not very conscious, hindi mo mapapansin ito. Now that I blog about it, alam mo na, click the USE A COUPON FROM YOUR WALLET part.

Use/ APPLY the coupon to get your discount. May concierge fee na 99 peso. eh ano naman? Nakatipid ka pa din ng 400 pesos.

ALWAYS CHOOSE COD when paying.

Step 5. Choose the date and time of delivery and wait.

Delivery is very prompt. Expect a call during that time. Sometimes the shopper would call kase out of stock ang product.

Also, if you did not put the exact address, expect the call from the rider. Sunduin nyo na lang where you pinned your address. That’s what I did. Inantay ko na lang sa labas ng gate yung delivery.

Honest Bee Philippines Review

My shopper called me when two of the products I ordered were out of stock. The out of stock items were deducted from my total bill.

This was the 2nd time I ordered from Honest Bee and definitely not the last one. I enjoyed how hassle free it was. Medyo off lang pag natapat ka sa full slots. The first time I ordered, the slot I got for delivery is 5 days from the day I ordered. Ok lang naman since the products I ordered are for stocks only and not for immediate use.

Would I recommend Honest Bee Philippines? DEFINITELY! (plus 500 OFF because you signed up on my link haha)

How much is your budget for your grocery? And how often do you go way over your budget? Eh bakit hindi? Ang sarap sarap naman talaga mamili sa grocery di ba? Specially when there’s a sale or may mga buy one take one promo. Or kung may mga promos like the recent HonestBee promo (500 off on your grocery). Nakaka tempt to go over your budget, to buy thing you thought are necessary but are actually not.

With my 5 Basic Grocery Shopping Tipid Tips, you’ll never go over budget on your grocery again, ever! I dare you to try.

5 Basic Grocery Shopping Tipid Tips

Tipid Tip #1: MAKE A GROCERY LIST. This is probably one of the most important tipid tip that I will share with you. Making a grocery list limits you from buying what you do not need. It also guides you to not forget the essentials in your house. Make a list and of course bring it when you do your grocery.

I wish there’s a grocery app which lets you make a grocery list, tracks your usage, lets you know when its time to buy and also have a price comparison. Sobrang bongga yan for us home makers no?

Tipid Tip #2: NEVER DO YOUR GROCERY HUNGRY. It’s tempting to just grab your bag, decides on eating at the supermarket and starts shopping. If you can’t eat at home, grab something before you start doing your grocery. There is a tendency to grab almost everything your stomach fancies when you do your grocery in an empty stomach.

That grumbling noise always win. That chips look delish! Oh I am thirsty! I could finish a case of coke! Fruits? Chocolates? I want them all!!!!

kebata bata eh nagpapabili ng Lipton! This is what happens when you bring kids to the grocery.

Tipid Tip #3: DO NOT BRING THE KIDS. It’s very tempting to bring them and see it as treat to them but do not give in to that temptation. It’s very tiring, you’re checking the list, making sure all your needs is in your cart and your trying not to lose your patient because, well, kids!

You can bring them, leave them at the arcade but then that’s another money you need to spend. And kids are always hungry, brining them adds up to your “eating budget”

Also, mga inay, this is our chance to unwind! Sulitin mo na ang bakasyong ito!

Tipid Tip #4: DO NOT GO OVER THE AISLE MORE THAN ONCE. Sabi ko it’s our chance to unwind, sulitin na natin but not to the extent na paikot ikot ka sa buong grocery. More ikot sa asile, more chances of getting what is not on your list. Hinay hinay sa pagtutulak ng cart.

This tip also lets you spend the most minimum time inside the store. Based on study, the more time you spend inside the store, the more chances of winning, este losing on this tipidan game.

Tipid Tip #5: PLAN YOUR GROCERY TRIP. Still on the premise of spending less time inside the store, plan your trip so that you’ll be able to avoid the “rush hour”. More pila, mas maraming pagod, mas maramig gutom. Also, the more time you spend near the cashier, where premium products are placed, the more you are tempted to get at least one or two Cadbury (or Energizer, or that pair of toothbrush).

If you’re doing your grocery every payday, do it early in the morning and never do it on Friday evenings, hunger games ang peg ng mga tao pag weekend payday eh.

Gusto ko sana idagdag sa tip ko ang “look for the grocery with the cheapest SRP” kaso, I have my own favorite grocery stores and I don’t know if they have the cheapest SRP. Gagawin ko yan soon, grocery hopping and price comparing!
