April officially marks the start of the summer season! Aside from out-of-town trips and the Lenten season, it also signals one more thing: End of Season Sale!

Here are some items that are trending and usually on sale this month. Enjoy the discounts while they last.


THIRST QUENCHERS AND SUMMER DESSERTS

The Philippines has plenty of tropical fruits that can be made into healthy thirst quenchers. Examples are coconut available for PhP28 to PhP30 and melon for PhP40 to PhP60 sold by street vendors. Several websites give recipes for homemade summer cool drinks such as Better Homes and Gardens (http://www.bhg.com/recipes/drinks/seasonal/summer-beverage-recipes/) and, for local recipes, Panlasang Pinoy (http://panlasangpinoy.com/beverage-recipes/). But if you have no time to make one, you can find different refreshing drinks being offered in restaurants and in the streets.

Where to buy: In Acacia Hotel Manila’s buffet restaurant, you can make your own halo-halo when you drop by the dessert station.


ORGANIC, EARTH-FRIENDLY GOODIES

Since Earth Day is celebrated every April 22nd, most advocates of naturally made products make use of this month to promote their goods and their cause. If you were eyeing that organic face mask or those healthy, organic treats from the store, better buy them this month and who knows, you might get perks and other bonuses.

SMALL KITCHEN APPLIANCES

Graduation season is here, so possible gifts and tokens will be put on sale this month. Mostly these things are those that new graduates could use— like coffee makers and grinders, blenders and juicers, pizza ovens, and countertop microwaves for their new apartment. Some even give away plates and dinnerware. According to Daily Finance, "retailers begin putting small kitchen appliances on sale during April” as probable gifts to fresh grads (and also newlyweds).

Where to buy: You can check out Fukuda and other appliance stores who are joining the Big Brand Summer Sale on March 28 to April 3, 2016 at State Center Building, Juan Luna St., Binondo, Manila.


TV AND OTHER ELECTRONIC GADGETS

Life Hacker website reports that March signals the end of the Japanese fiscal year. This means that goods made in Japan will be put on sale as they try to get rid of old stocks and prepare to manufacture new goodies. Of course, most of the products that will be discounted are last year’s model, but hey! That doesn’t mean they are not great!
