IF there is one thing I have missed from our old lives, it’s going to a convenience store and choosing a meal for lunch or choosing chips for an afternoon snack. I also miss going to a 7-Eleven to buy soda or a loaf of bread before heading home. During the early days of ECQ and there was a bread shortage, we were lucky that the person at the 7-Eleven near us would tell my husband when the bread deliveries would come so he could go there and get a loaf.
My daughter’s place of work is right beside a 7-Eleven and she’d buy City Blends coffee there, thanks to their Bring Your Own Cup promo.
My 7-Eleven favorites include the hotdogs and siopao. They’ve been my favorites for over a decade.
For its anniversary this year, dubbed #711Day and ongoing until July 14, 7-Eleven is celebrating with exclusive promos and discounts up to 50-percent off on over 150 grocery items.
