1:54 pm: Lined up at S&R Congressional while Jeff waits for a parking slot.
4:30 pm: We’re in! So that’s around 2.5 hours of waiting outside.
As soon as I got a cart, I immediately went to the end of the line going to the cashier, at yung dulo, nasa may entrance. Tip: Line up immediately while your companions are already looking for items. Salit-salitan na lang kayo. And because the line is going through the aisles, makakapagshopping ka na rin while waiting.
I think it’s best to go in the morning kasi marami pang stocks. Kasi they only allot a specific number of stocks per day para meron pang ilalabas the next day. Like yung Ariel, it was on Buy 1 Take 1, stocks were wiped out but people saw boxes of Ariel at the top of the shelves. Sabi ng staff, midnight pa raw nila ibababa for next day’s sale.
I already posted some Buy 1 Take 1 deals for their Early Bird shoppers in my previous post: What’s on sale at S&R Members Treat 2016
A list of some of the Buy 1 Take 1 promos at S&R Congressional

Other good deals are Pringles, buy 2 for Php 154.75. Lifetime tables are not b1t1 unlike the previous years. The one we bought is just less Php 200. Olay products are less Php 200. Spam are Php 99.75 each, kaya lang Turkey na lang ang natira last Friday afternoon.
Is it worth it? For me, yes. We look forward to this sale, we waited for this since we need to get a few items for the house. Like yung Lifetime table, inantay lang namin yung sale kasi baka naka-50% off pa.
Be prepared to line up and bring lots of patience. Please leave the kids at home, kawawa lang sila. We started a little before 2 pm and we finished at 8 pm.
Enjoy shopping!
Haha. Thanks for this. My mom went there at 6am. Pang 4 na lang sya sa parking. Good thing she is with my little son so while nagpapark, pumila na si son sa entrance. She was third batch na pinapasok. By 8am, i called my mom na susunod kami coz I still waited for my other son from his church duties. Unfortunately, i was told na ung guard daw ay nasabunutan, nasakal at namura ng ilang nanay dahil di pinapasok ang nga sumunod din nilang family. At one senior, one companion lang daw. Ehehe. Nway, wasnt able to see ano nangyari but we got a number of goodies from mom. Pasalubong. Hahaha! Yup, she gave us Spam, Colgate, towels, Pringles, even baby shirts and panties. Ihihi
Omg! You survived! I heard they limited na to 3 carts per card. Kaya nga ako, nung Thursday pumunta na ako! There were already some items on sale na but more daw ilalabas sa Friday. But at least wala pang pila pero medyo marami na din tao.
Yes, I’m alive hahaha… Baka next year, ganyan din gagawin namin. If we get what we wanted sa Early Bird, di na kami pupunta ng sale days.
Kawawa naman si Manong Guard, tsk. Mainit na rin siguro ulo ng mga tao dahil sa haba ng pila. Oh well, glad it’s over at may pasalubong ka naman! 🙂
