Mum Finds: 3 Things To Love About The New ShopSM Online Store

The popularity of online shopping has grown by leaps and bounds these past few years. Its appeal of convenience is such a hit especially for busy people, who do not have the time to actually visit a physical store and shop. I cannot count the many times it has become a lifesaver and made this mum’s life a whole lot easier.

The SM Store, the largest department store chain in the Philippines, recently launched its online shopping platform, ShopSM.com. I was able to order last week and I am sharing top 3 things I love about the experience.

Ever since I discovered online shopping several years ago I have since thought it was a God-send for stay-at-home mums like me who hardly have time to spare for going to the mall {can you imagine the preparation and the effort that went into pulling off a trip to the mall with a tot in tow? Stressful at best and each trip had to be carefully planned out, I tell you!}. With the dawn of online shopping, I can simply browse through numerous online shops at my most convenient time {mostly during the wee hours of the morning when I badly need a break from doing online work and to reward myself for a job well done} and in my PJ’s, to boot!

Today, I will tel you all about a new site that will revolutionize your online shopping experience. Introducing iPrice, Your One Stop Shopping Destination.

Ordering Food Online Is Now Easy-Breezy With FoodPanda.Ph

We probably spend about a third of our mum time in the kitchen, cutting veggies and chopping up ingredients for dinner or simmering a hearty dish at the stove top. Inasmuch as we would like to prepare delicious meals and dishes for the family three times a day, though, there comes a time when you are stumped with way too many chores and work deadlines to beat that you’d wish you have a magic wand much like mum Molly in the Harry Potter series that will allow for your pots and pans to cook hearty meals and delicious dishes on their own. It would’ve been the perfect household help, right? Alas, we can only wish too much for a magic wand, but if culinary-challenged mums like me is way too busy or way too lazy to cook dinner for the family, it is good to know that we can count on FoodPanda.ph to deliver our choice of dinner treats right at our doorsteps without having to break a sweat!

So, I was feeling a bit tired to tackle the chopping board and and the stove the other night and thought it was the best time to give FoodPanda.ph a try. I was craving for some pasta and pizza and opted to order Spaghetti with meatballs and a pan of cheese pizza from Yellow Cab. I had the food delivered to my brother’s workplace in Quezon City as FoodPanda.ph does not cover our city yet.

Here are the easy-peasy steps I followed to order our instant yet delectable meal:

Search ~ Find restaurants that deliver to my place {in this case, my brother’s office address, where I will have my order delivered} by entering my address
Choose ~ Browsed through hundreds of menus to find the food I fancied eating that night
Pay ~ I had the option to pay fast and secure online or cash on delivery {I opted for COD}
Enjoy ~ Food gets prepared and delivered right to our doorsteps {more accurately, the doorstep of my brother’s office} by the restaurant

To order from FoodPanda.ph, I simply searched for the restaurant that delivers to my brother’s address by keying in his address, which is somewhere in Quezon City. After doing so, numerous restaurants appear on the screen, along with their addresses, menu and other pertinent details. [Read more…]
