Preparing for a trip is already an adventure in itself. There’s something about the anticipation and counting down the days until the flight or road trip, that just gets me excited.

It has become a routine for me to do some pre-travel shopping for my summer travel must-haves or to indulge in a bit of prep and pampering. But due to the nature of my work and lifestyle, I sometimes find myself juggling different projects, so I’ve learned to plan my shopping trips carefully, making sure I save time and get everything I need before the trip.

I just chose the nearest SM Mall near me and click the “Featured Deals”

My “Saved” Deals on my SM Malls Online App

Before I headed out to the nearest SM Mall, I made sure to check the SM Malls Online app. Turns out, they had some awesome Summer Deals and promos. All I had to do was click on “Deals Near Me” and save them so I could just swipe the coupons once I’m in-store to redeem the offer. Here are the deals I scored:

Executive Optical Php 170 OFF on Shields Sunglasses

Number one on my summer shopping list is a new pair of sunglasses. It’s a steal for just Php 390 (originally priced at Php 560)! There are different designs and colors to choose from, but I had my eyes on this pair that is perfect for any outfit.

Miniso 50% OFF on Selected Flip Flops

My favorite flip flops gave up on me during my last summer trip to La Union, so I needed to buy a new pair. Luckily, I chanced upon this deal at Miniso that offers 50% OFF on selected Flip Flops. I love that it has big sizes, too!

I always wear Flip Flops because they are comfortable, easy to wear, and easy to dry (especially when hitting the beach).

Plains and Prints Tote Bag for Only Php 698

A tote bag is a must for us girls so we can bring all our essentials when we’re out and exploring. This tote bag from Plains and Prints can carry my sunblock, powerbank, water bottle, and other essentials.

I previously had a bag from the brand that lasted me for years.

Bang’s Prime Salon Free Kera-Protein Treatment

My hair needed more protection and pampering now that I would be spending more time outside. I saved and booked this deal at Bang’s Prime Salon which offers free Kera-Protein Treatment.

Since I just recently dyed my hair, I just had my hair trimmed so it is more manageable and light to style.

Buy One, Take One on Pizza Hut Hawaiian Pizza

I always make sure that I bring something home for mom after my errand, so I saved this Buy One, Take One offer from Pizza Hut for her favorite pizza flavor – Hawaiian Pizza.

Buy One, Take One offers on food are always the best deals!

It was my first time to use the Swipe to Redeem feature of the SM Malls Online app and I am so happy with how much I saved on shopping! I can use the savings from these deals to add to my travel budget.

It is also interesting to discover new brands that offer really good deals so we can also try their products or services at a discounted price.

You, too, can also make the most of your summer shopping trips by downloading the SM Malls Online app and redeeming Swipe Coupons at an SM mall near you. Let me know your favorite deals that you have recently availed!
