They have it (President) at my favorite store Carrefour, we always buy the unsalted. Rica has a funny taste to me. There is another brand we have tried Elle & Vire which is pretty good, kind of reminded me of Kerrygold.

Was back at Bravo today. They were very well stocked, found the Rica butter I wanted in tubs and sticks, and they had the President butter too this time. They had the vacuum packed whole chickens I liked too, and I bought the frozen mixed seafood JD recommended. Can’t beat it at 199 pesos, no wonder it flies out of there.

The Angus freezers were overflowing, and I saw rib eyes for JD.

Their produce aisle isn’t bad, nice items and decent prices.

They got me on the cases of 16 oz bottled water. Not paying attention, just grabbed one. Got home and realized it was a case of Dasani mixed in with the Bravo brand. 300 pesos instead of something around 115. Oh well, my fault.

My last trip a week ago I got enough rib eyes to last me for 2 months.

I spoke to the manager the other day and asked him about their "suggestion" system. I told him about suggesting rye bread every time I go, and he told me that the person in charge of ordering has a list they order from, and if what you suggest isn't on that list, you won't see it on the shelves any time soon.
I expected that was what usually happens.
BRAVO is my go-to now. I get my chocolate Almond milk at Ines, and get my garlic butter from Sirena using pedidosya.

Yes, the checker told me to use it today because they expire 31 March.

Also, they check ID. So you can't transfer points. I didn't have my passport but I did have my PriceSmart card which she was cool with.

Ah, okay. Sirena points from 2024 expires 3/31 too. I have the Bravo app on my phone, but never used it for points.
