Marks & Spencer Weekend Goodie Haul

Sundays are like ordinary days where you need to replenish your food stock, check the fridge for what is needed for the whole. Cooking and making sure to have new fresh and clean clothes and uniform for the whole week ahead, and also tidying up the house. That is my typical Sundays and when you can sneak a couple of hours to go the mall to unwind and buy something you can always dig into that. Reward your self! 

So we dropped by Marks & Spencer at Harbor Point Mall to get a bottle of Autograph but decided to get a new scent instead under the same line. Marks & Spencer's are on sale right now up to 70% off on selected items. And, we did grab a few of the items that were marked down.

1- can of Autograph Homme body spray.

1- box of Marks & Spencer Organic Pure Green Tea

1- pack of Mexican Chipotle Chili & Ecuadorian Dark Chocolate Cookies

2- packs of Simply M&S Dark Chocolate Digestives

Autograph homme body spray for Php395 ($8.78) 

Our all time favorite digestives cookies from Simply M&S, we love this because of the cookie and also the dark chocolate coat. A pack cost Php125 ($2.78).

A new product for us to try. 

I got intrigued with the Mexican Chipotle Chili combined in the cookie also this pack was on sale for 50% off. Original price was at Php300 ($6.67). 

To check what's the taste of the Mexican Chipotle Chillin in a cookie we had this for dessert last night and it was bomb digs! The super nice taste of the cookie and the dark chocolate chips melting in every cooking plus the chili taste was not that powerful, I tasted a hint of it making it so interesting in every bite. The daughter acted crazy for this cookie and I might drop by M&S again to "hoard" this one haha! I'm gonna surprise her...shhh.

This one will be for tonight, this box of Marks & Spencer organic pure green tea holds 20 tea bags in total. This cost Php125 ($2.78). A pot of hot green tea for later will be the best to end the day. I have not tried this brand before and that's the reason for the excitement hehe! 

All the items inside Marks & Spencer store get you excited because they have everything in it, from clothing to lingerie to bath essentials and even food! 

Check out M&S nearest you and check out some goodies for you to try. 

Happy Monday all! :)

Cafe Noir #4 by Marks & Spencer

I am a confessed caffeine lover! I love the adventure of indulging myself to caffeine experience whether it's the cheapest to the most expensive kind I can afford to purchase. 

We got this jar of coffee last December from our Marks & Spencer's shopping. My heart was divided whether to get the coffee grounds or this instant one. Since, I still have some of the grounds I received from a "pasalubong"in Batangas. I decided to get this Cafe Noir #4 freeze-dried French style, dark roasted and full-bodied instant coffee.

The jar is a glass jar with golden brown twist cap.

When you untwist the cap the jar is sealed with gold foil to retain the freshness of the coffee.

For my personal take on the Cafe Noir coffee. Coffee is the first thing I can think of every day I wake up. It is my booster drug to start my day. Good thing I bought this last Christmas and I was fully able to learn and distinguish the taste. This is the photo of my first cup of Cafe Noir, decided not to add any cream or milk to it so I can taste the bitter taste. Sadly one teaspoon was not enough to satisfy the taste I wanted. I added half teaspoon more. I did expect that whoa reaction in me after the first sip, but I did not. It was a plain instant coffee for me, a cheap plain taste. Comparing this to the local instant coffee you can buy in the supermarket which is cheaper. But, since it is an instant coffee that I can take it anytime of the day without much preparation to do, I am enjoying every cup of it. 

Have you ever tried this Cafe Noir coffee? What was your take on it... did you like the taste?
