#grocery — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #grocery, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #MissKitty opted out of #grocery #shopping and selected Domino's any size seven topping $10.99 per #pizza delivered to her door deal instead. I take vitamin pills. LOL. And I put #jalapenos on it. Doesn't that make it okay? 😹😹😹🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

  2. Sis2 usually does #grocery shopping for my father and me, but she wasn't feeling well, so she told Sis1 to do it. Sis2's system has her go to any of the six local supermarkets, but only the one we pick, not two or more. And if something on the list isn't available, she skips it, rather than choose some substitute we might not like.

    Sis1 has a far different system. She freely swaps out items, either because something wasn't available, or she thought something else was better. Or she'll add something we didn't order, because she knows we usually do. And she might not pick up something at the store we selected, because she saw it cheaper elsewhere — which she might get around to going to the next day.

    So I didn't get the deli turkey I order every week yesterday, and I still don't have it today. I asked for green grapes, and got red ones. And the chicken breasts and gluten-free ciabatta rolls I didn't get yesterday showed up today, along with two bags of potato chips, even though I already have four on my shelf.

  26. BPI Customers Can Withdraw And Deposit Cash At Grocery, Convenience Stores And Other Commercial Joints

    Customers of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) are able to withdraw and deposit cash at grocery, convenience stores and other commercial joints thanks to the a newly launched campaign between the bank and over a thousand partner stores, according to a news report by GMA News.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the report of GMA News. Some parts in boldface…

    The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) on Wednesday launched its “Himala” campaign, allowing customers to withdraw and deposit cash at 1,369 partner stores, including grocery and convenience stores.

    The service effectively turns participating outlets into “mini BPI branches,” enabling customers to complete cash transactions without visiting a physical bank branch.

    The partner network includes Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc. (RRHI) stores such as Robinsons Easymart, Robinsons Supermarket, Shopwise, The Marketplace, Robinsons Department Store, Toys “R” Us, and Uncle John’s.

    The service is also available at non-RRHI outlets, including Amesco, Fitmart GenSan, CVM Pawnshop, Falcor Marketing, Prince Retail, Prince Warehouse, Rodamel Drugstore, Savers Depot, Tacurong Fit Mart Inc., and Tambunting Pawnshop.

    Customers can generate a barcode through the BPI app for cash deposits and withdrawals, then present it at any participating store for processing. They may also send the barcode to another person, who can use it to deposit or withdraw cash at a partner outlet.

    Customers may deposit or withdraw a minimum of P100 through the partner network. Deposits are limited to P10,000 per barcode and P50,000 per day, while withdrawals are capped at P10,000.

    Select services, including account opening and applications for BPI products, are also available through the bank’s network of 8,000 retail partners, which includes pharmacies and gas stations nationwide.

    According to BPI Agency Banking head Rally Jereza, the Ayala-led lender is in talks to onboard more partner stores, with the goal of expanding the network to 10,000 outlets within the year.

    “For now, I’m satisfied with 8,000 because we want to encourage people to use [the service]. But in terms of expanding, with existing BPI clients, corporate clients… it’s easy to expand. Right now, we just want to be able to maximize all of those footprints,” he said.

    Jereza said the initiative also supports BPI’s “May BPI Dito” campaign, which aims to make the bank’s services available in as many locations as possible.

    “What began in 2023 as product application points has evolved into a fully integrated banking ecosystem. Every phase—from enabling transactions on tablets to barcode withdrawals and now barcode deposits—was built to ensure safety, simplicity, and trust,” he said.

    “This is not just expansion; it is a redefinition of what a bank can be in the digital age,” he added.

    BPI said it has onboarded more than one million new-to-bank customers through its agency banking network and aims to increase the figure to 10 million.

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a BPI customer, have you experience the convenience of doing important transactions at the grocery or at the convenience store lately?

    Customers may deposit or withdraw a minimum of P100 through the partner network. Deposits are limited to P10,000 per barcode and P50,000 per day, while withdrawals are capped at P10,000.

    Select services, including account opening and applications for BPI products, are also available through the bank’s network of 8,000 retail partners, which includes pharmacies and gas stations nationwide.

    According to BPI Agency Banking head Rally Jereza, the Ayala-led lender is in talks to onboard more partner stores, with the goal of expanding the network to 10,000 outlets within the year.

    “For now, I’m satisfied with 8,000 because we want to encourage people to use [the service]. But in terms of expanding, with existing BPI clients, corporate clients… it’s easy to expand. Right now, we just want to be able to maximize all of those footprints,” he said.

    Jereza said the initiative also supports BPI’s “May BPI Dito” campaign, which aims to make the bank’s services available in as many locations as possible.

    “What began in 2023 as product application points has evolved into a fully integrated banking ecosystem. Every phase—from enabling transactions on tablets to barcode withdrawals and now barcode deposits—was built to ensure safety, simplicity, and trust,” he said.

    “This is not just expansion; it is a redefinition of what a bank can be in the digital age,” he added.

    BPI said it has onboarded more than one million new-to-bank customers through its agency banking network and aims to increase the figure to 10 million.
