Landers Superstore Balintawak

Yesterday I was finally able to check out the newly opened Landers Superstore in Balintawak! They had a grand opening just last Wedesday, June 22, and I expected a huge crowd since this was their first weekend. I wasn't able to take shots of the facade, just a couple of shots of the stuff I found interesting because my sisters weren't able to go and they asked me to do so. Then when my friends found out that I went, they asked me how my experience was and so I kept on sending photos to them. I realized why not just make a blog post for it so I can also share them with YOU! :D

Landers Superstore is having an ongoing membership promo: 20% off (P640 instead of P800) until September 15, 2016. As for the layout of Lander's Superstore, I find it very similar to S&R Congressional, wherein upon entering the appliances are to your right, then the cleaning materials at the back of the store. To your left are the food shelves, then toiletries in front. They also have a dedicated area for fresh produce. Their many checkout counters are fast-moving, hence no long line. It's at their food hall that has a long line, so we weren't able to try the food for now. (There's always a next time!) Their parking is quite small, we arrived around 11AM or so, and the front parking was almost full. No basement parking either.

If you want a very detailed look inside Landers Superstore, you can check out Mari's post. So here are the stuff I found interesting, AKA things I didn't see in S&R (since we go there too frequently).

Mercer's Wine Ice Cream (P349.75)

So for my first and most interesting find of the day: Mercer's Wine Ice Cream! :D This was actually why I started taking pictures in the first place, since my sister asked me what flavors were available. There's Chocolate Cabernet, Cherry Merlot, Red Raspberry Chardonnay, Peach White Zinfandel, Riesling, and Strawberry Sparkling. We ended up getting Strawberry Sparkling and it's SOO GOOD! It's creamy without any bitter aftertaste, but it makes you feel warm and happy at the same time. Also, it contains 5% alcohol. It's not an everyday treat, but it's an indulgence worth trying.
 

Double Rainbow Soy Cream Mint Chip looks good! They carry a lot of imported brands such as Cadbury (!!!) and also local ones such as Magnolia.
 
Frozen fruits

Marie Morin Chocolate Mousse and Salted Caramel Cheesecake (P349.75)
 

All kinds of biscuits & coffee!
 
Nescafé Café con Leche (P269.75)

Clipper Drinking Chocolate (P285.75)
 
Tea time!
 
President's Choice
 
Altoids Peppermint Tin (P99.75)

Super steal because this one costs around P200 at Candy Corner. Buy it!!!
 
Jelly Belly Bean Boozled Jelly Beans

Cute idea but I'm so freaked out about yucky flavors such as Stinky Socks, Rotten Eggs, Vomit, etc... :/

Tic Tac Minions (P121.75)

I remembered my friend Jat when I saw these. Hello, Jat! :D
 
Popcornopolis Jalapeño Cheddar Popcorn
 
Spice rack more exciting than S&R's - many I've seen for the first time here!
 
President's Choice Souvenirs of Szechwan Satay Sauce (P199.75)

I still believe Panda bought this because of its packaging. Hoho!
 
Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix & Frosting! SO CUTE! :')

Nutella (P1,149.75)

I've seen huge jars of Nutella but I wasn't prepared with seeing this huge PAIL of Nutella. Of course you'd only buy this if you're running a food business. Right? Yeah right. :D

Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter (P349.75)

OMG to this huge 2kg jar of peanut butter goodness at the price no one can beat! :O 
 
Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar (P199)

At the most affordable price! They also come in different sizes. :D
 

I like how the aisles and walkways are wide. It's more pleasant and fun to shop this way.
 
Hello, expensive lobsters @ P2,000/kg!

Not to be missed is the toiletries section!
 
Mickey Mouse & Hello Kitty Band-Aids! SO CUTE! Wound me now. LOLOL JK
 
Kirkland Signature Tencel Baby Wipes (P199.75)

To my friend who always has a huge pack of baby wipes in her bag: Tiff! :D
 

I spy skincare from Bioré and Pond's! I'm not familiar with Bioré's pricing in the malls, so I'm not really sure if it's cheaper here. 
 
PHYSIOGEL! :D
 

Napkins and tampons I keep seeing on US magazines are now here as well. Then I realized again how pricey tampons are so just switch to a menstrual cup instead. :P
 

The people behind Aveeno must be really good friends with Landers. They have an entire shelf here dedicated to the brand! :D I spotted the same sulfate-free Aveeno shampoo I bought from Fisher Mall for P410. Here, it's only P300! -_-

Roast Whole Chicken (P209.75)

Of course they had to sell good ol' roasted chicken, too! :D
 
 

We weren't able to try the food because of the long line, but we will come back for it! :D

    1. I haven't been to Walmart, but people say Landers is a lot like Costco. Well the #1 benefit of being a member, you get to shop, dine, and even get groomed at Landers. You have to be a member in order to do transactions. The difference of Landers to other supermarkets is the selection of goods, some of the imported products you won't find elsewhere.

    1. Similar pricing sila, pero may mga stuff na meron si Landers na wala si S&R and vice versa. Also, para sa tingi and smaller packs, I recommend HiTop Supermarket (near Q.Ave MRT) and Landmark. Mas mura yung dalawang yun versus lahat ng grocery na napuntahan ko. :)

      Thank you, Mhyan! <3 God bless you, too!

  6. Hi! I found your blog about Landers interesting. I was wondering though if it's an international store franchise or one of our own (locally)? Thanks!

    1. Hi Michelle! I honestly have no idea. Haha! I wasn't briefed about its history as I just came to visit as a regular shopper and not during a media event. :)

      It's owned by businessman Luis Yu Jr - found it on the net.

  9. Hi! Do I have to be a member first before I could enter the superstore? It's just that, I want to make sure that my membership fee will not be put to waste. Thanks :)

    1. Yes, you have to be a member to shop, but if you know someone who has a membership card, you can tag along first to see for yourself if it's worth it. :)
