Sale, shop, save - these are my most favorite four-letter words, and I absolutely love it when I get to enjoy these three, all at the same time.
This penchant for discount shopping led me towards
Super8, a chain of grocery stores with a wide selection of goods at bargain prices. I heard they're having a huge sale event coming up this week, so Yue and I paid a visit to the
Super8 branch here in
San Pablo City to know more about it, and do our weekly grocery shopping as well.

We were courteously welcomed by the Customer Service staff, who then introduced us to
John Michael, the Branch Manager for
Super8 San Pablo City. John was more than eager to tell me about the
Super8 Funfest; apparently, it's a three-day event which has been held annually since 2012. It's like a celebration of sorts with celebrity guests and production numbers, raffle draws with huge prizes at stake, and exclusive deals and deep discounts on participating brands and items. It's
sale, shop, and save all together, and any penny pinchin' mom's dream
(shopping) event come true!

According to John, the
Super8 Funfest is open to all, with no entrance fees whatsoever required. However, you get an advantage if you own a
Super8 Rewards Card because the first two days of the event will be exclusive to
Rewards Card members.
 |
| The Super8 Rewards Card - your ticket to great deals and shopping points! |
With the
Super8 Rewards Card, you get to earn points with every purchase which can then be used as cash at Super8 stores. For every Php 200 spent, you earn 1 point which is equivalent to Php 1. At the
Super8 Funfest, you get to rack up more points when you spend more - a single receipt purchase worth Php 3000 entitles you to 50 rewards points
(aka Php 50).
 |
| More Rewards Points + Special Funfest Deals. |
Signing up for your a Super8 Rewards Card is easy. All you have to do is fill-out the membership form and pay the Php 100 membership fee, and you get your Rewards Card right then and there. I signed up for the Super8 Rewards, of course, and as soon as I got my card, John gave us a tour of the store and showed us which items are on sale and which items will earn us more points.
 |
| Shopping for his favorites! |
Yue was thrilled to see that all of his favorite snacks and food items are available at
Super8, and they're all tagged at cheaper prices, too! We discovered even more amazing deals as we made our way through the supermarket - like the
Super Sulit Points section, which allows you to earn 25 rewards points for every Php 500 single-receipt purchase of participating items.

There's also the
Try Me section, where new products are priced 5% lower than the standard retail price. The
Dove Baby Hair to Toe Rich Moisture Body Wash, for instance, is currently priced at Php 248.70. That's Php 13.10 savings, compared to buying it at beauty counters or department stores.
 |
| 5% off on new products! |
 |
| That includes snacks and other food products! |
They also have 'Plus One' promos, where you get free products when you buy in bulk. Like this 'Buy 11 Get 1 Free' promo on detergents and other home care items. If you're a wholesaler or reseller, promos like these will definitely help you save more and allow you to earn bigger profits.
 |
| Save more when you buy more! |
 |
| More items on sale! |
Aside from big savings, Super8 also gives their loyal customers a chance to win prizes in their
Super Hakot Promo and
Scratch & Win Promo, exclusive to Super8 mobile app users. You get a promo code or an e-raffle entry when you purchase
Php 300 of participating items in a single transaction. Some of the items included in this promo are Oreo cookies, Nestle Koko Krunch cereals, Magnolia milk products, and La Pacita Graham Crackers.

You'll get to enjoy more of these awesome deals and astonishing discounts when you head over to the
Super8 Funfest happening from
April 26 (Thursday) until
April 28 (Saturday). The event will be held at the
World Trade Center in
Pasay City, from 9 am 'til 7 pm. As I have mentioned earlier, the first two days of the
Super8 Funfest will be exclusive to Rewards Card holders, while the last day will be open to everyone, including non-members.
