FREE 24-hr Delivery for all Suga Lifestyle Followers Online Shopping for Groceries with Pantrypan!

Pantrypan is an Online Grocery Delivery Service. They are currently doing a soft launch of their service in the Kingston Metropolitan Region and Portmore and are offering Suga Followers FREE 24-hour grocery delivery up to August 15, 2015! You’re welcome 🙂

There are so many of these Online Grocery Shopping Services that have failed right? Nobody really pays attention to them. So what makes Pantrypan so different? I mean, other than recognizing Suga Lifestyle Followers right? What is the advantage other than having groceries delivered to your door? They provide shoppers with value for money. Prior services have offered Premium service where the price ranges for items are extremely high and they have realized that that will not work in order to sustain a successful online shopping business. People have a hard time as it is finding that grocery money in the first place. So in these times, companies just saying they will bring groceries right to our doorstep for a small fee AND the items will just cost a little more than usual, won’t do the trick.

Pantrypan has an office at 33 1/2 Duke Street, Kingston. They have been in operation for the last 4 months and have been building a platform for the last 11 months. How have they made it work so far? According to one of Pantrypan co-founders, Rafer Johnson, a busy flow of orders does not affect deliveries or delivery times. They offer a 24-hour delivery service and if there is an issue or delay in sourcing a product, they immediately call and ask the best possible time to provide a solution. They source products directly from the suppliers who do not have to hold products overnight. Once the order is put in, the suppliers are ready to release the products.

Also, don’t worry about products getting crushed or being out of refrigeration for long periods of time because Pantrypan operates within a short time system.

How are the products they offer and prices?! Good range. I mean you are not going to find every exact thing you would in the supermarket, but they have all the basics you need. Can’t find a product? Not to worry, they expand their product line daily based on feedback from customers and try to facilitate your needs as much as possible.

Being in the Health and Fitness industry, Suga realized she didn’t see items like Lasco Skimmed milk powder, Fat free Crystal Farms American Singles Cheese slices and Olive oil available. However, Pantrypan has been talking with a nutritionist to source healthy products to add to their list and also possibly launch a Pantrypan Health store model.

Prices? ALL PRICES INCLUDE G.C.T. Although, I almost had a fit when I saw a few costs but realized quickly by the fine print that the cost quoted was for the price of 3! I of course communicated the need to put that in bold to Pantrypan.

Examples of some products and prices are Yellow Yam for $70/lb (reasonable!), Healthy Start Multi-grain Bread for $238 (less than Mega Mart’s $260!), Delicate Toilet Paper, 24 pack for $1630, $350 for a pack of 3 tins of Grace Baked beans, Copperwood Pork Leg Bone for $406/lb etc. It’s worth it to check them out.

If you are pleased with Pantrypan’s service and wish to continue shopping with them, their usual Delivery rates are $450JMD for office orders and $950JMD for home orders, both flat rates including G.C.T.

Lunch for $550JMD from The Oasis on the Oxford

by Restaurant Reviews & Ratings

IMG-20150707-WA0002

Lunch from The Oasis on the Oxford was as good as it looked yesterday. Fish fillet with veggies and boiled yam, banana and plantain, all for $550JMD.

Oasis on the Oxford is not consistent with good quality and service but gamble and catch them on a good day and it is a win. A reasonable, tasty lunch is often hard to find during the average work day, especially when looking for a little variety sometimes. Oasis on the Oxford has Jamaican cuisine and lunches range from $440-$650JMD. They also have natural juices for $250JMD. Buffet is on a Friday for $750JMD. The ambience is off key but you can sit down with actual plates, cloth napkins and utensils, no plastic and have a good, filling meal.

Location: 11 Oxford Road, St. Andrew. Kingston 5.

Suga’s Throwback Thursday goes out to The Rotaract Club of Kingston’s repainting of Four Square Basic School by Cassia Park on Labour Day, May 25, 2015. The staff, parents and Principal of the school assisted the club members, ensuring that they were fed and hydrated throughout the day. Kudos also to the Eastwood Gardens Youth for Progress Youth Club for partnering with The Rotaract Club of Kingston by sending volunteers on the day. The Rotary Club of Kingston assisted on the day as well.

So many hands coming together to make a positive impact. The kids returned to their newly painted classrooms on the Wednesday of the week that followed in a fresh, brighter, cleaner environment to learn and focus in.

Help Jamaica Environment Trust (JET) to move from Earth House to Earth Cottage

by Charities

Screenshot_2015-06-03-14-29-45-1

JET is scheduled to leave their current location on 11 Waterloo Road to 123 Constant Spring Road by the end of this June. Hon. Gordon Butch Stewart and the Sandals group have generously donated to the use of their Earth House location for the last 13 years and are thankful even though Butch may be finding other use for the property soon.

As JET will now be renting an office space, they will need donations to assist with this unbudgeted move.

Please click on the link provided below, organized by Booster, and make your donation today no matter how big or small. Their goal is to raise $1000USD and they are currently at $525USD with 4 more days to go!

Curried goat with plain rice, boiled banana and raw vegetables

M10 in Barbican for Jamaican Lunch !

by Restaurant Reviews & RatingsWhat's Hot

Curried goat with plain rice, boiled banana and raw vegetables

Suga visited the Barbican location of M10 (across the road from Sovereign North) last Saturday at 1:15pm. Their delicious Roast fish was desired but was not on the menu for the day. I got Curried Chicken instead for $500JMD. My friends had Oxtail and Curried Goat. Nothing was over $900JMD to my recollection. All were tasty, however, since it is a lunch-only spot, they immediately wrote on styrofoam boxes when taking our orders instead of asking if we were dining. So we all had to eat out of boxes because it was too late for the change. I also asked for half boiled banana, half rice and got one finger of banana with loads of rice, as most restaurants tend to do during the week for lunch. Nevertheless, the setting was quite comfortable on a semi-open terrace. Since it is summer tho, they may want to invest in two fans. There was also sufficient parking around the back.

The place was buzzing with people and service time was reasonable, especially if you are used to the long wait at their Vineyard town location. So if ever in the need for quick, authentic Jamaican food, M10 Barbican is the spot!
