There are mothers out there who, with today’s economic crunch, would rather go for the more affordable alternatives, especially when it comes to food for their family. Bread is one example.
“Breads all look the same and mostly taste the same. Why would I buy the higher-priced breads if there are lower-priced ones, especially when they offer it at buy-one-take-one? The money I save, how little it may be, I can still use to buy other things,” laments Lydia Roselo, a mother of four. Same is true for Samila Abdula, a 30-year-old mother of three gradeschoolers. “I don’t buy much not unless it’s on sale, or prices become truly rock-bottom because the expiration date is nearer.”
Fortunately, not all mothers are like Samila and Lydia. Cathy Moreto had always believed that she cannot compromise on quality when it comes to her family’s health and welfare. “I always insist on quality, especially on food like bread. I won’t mind paying a few pesos more just as long as I have peace of mind that the food I’m buying for my family is safe and made with quality. Call it an obsession, but we’re talking of my family here,” she explained.
That is why for Cathy and her friends and neighbors Alice Beltran and Rona Ronquillo, it’s a joy to always buy quality food for their family. They start with the right choice of bread that’s made of true and real quality, such as Gardenia Classic White Bread, a staple in their dining table that they can’t live without. Their kids—and their hubbies—always look for Gardenia Classic White Bread for breakfast. And they don’t mind eating it even without their fave palaman, which delights the three mothers because they know they made the right choice in bread. And they don’t mind eating it even without their fave “palaman,” which delights the three mothers because they know they made the right choice in bread.
And their kids and hubbies even eat Gardenia Classic White Bread after coming home from school or work for merienda. That’s how much they like this bread from Gardenia, the country’s leading bread manufacturer. The reason they chose Gardenia Classic White Bread? “It’s really soft and it has a just-baked goodness taste,” Alice said. “The moment I take it out from the pack, my family knows already that Gardenia Classic White bread is already at the table because of its aroma that wafts through the air. And I don’t even have to pop it into the bread toaster, because it feels freshly baked. They like it as plain as it can be.”
What they love, she said, is that they can simply roll a slice of Gardenia without fear of breaking. “The kids love doing that because they find it easier eating a rolled-up bread and dip it to anywhere they want to,” Alice said with a slight chuckle.
Rona, who is a nutritionist by profession, is likewise glad that Gardenia Classic White Bread is packed with nutritive value that she and her family needs, most especially her growing kids. “I’m happy that Gardenia Classic White Bread has essential vitamins, such as Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, plus calcium, iodine, iron and folate, that our kids need while growing up. So what more can you ask for in bread?”
And the three moms are glad that Gardenia Classic White Bread is made of real and true quality, from the dough to the processing, baking and eventually packing and distribution. We have peace of mind that the bread we’re buying is good for our families, healthy, tastes great, packed with nutrition, all natural with fresh-baked goodness and offers true value for money.
