If there’s one thing I’ve learned after years of being a homemaker, cook, driver, tutor, referee, and all-around “household CEO,” it’s this: the right appliance can save you time AND money. Hindi lang siya luho — minsan, life-saver talaga.
I remember the day our old rice cooker finally retired (after 12 loyal years). We bought a new one — a small, energy-saving model — and wow, our kuryente bill actually went down. That’s when I realized… smart appliances are not about being fancy; they’re about being practical.
Here are 20 money-saving appliances moms are loving — all sulit, all tested by Filipino families, and many available on Shopee/Lazada.
