Spam Bacon Flavor

 


Ever since I was young I was never a fan of Spam but I have family members who love to eat it there are so many flavors to choose from not just the original flavor. You can also buy bacon flavor who love the taste of bacon for their breakfast just like in the picture with sunny side up egg.

Everyone comes a point in their life when they want to cook something easy for breakfast when they are either in a rush to leave but would like a bite to eat before they begin their day off in the morning.

Just like anyone living back home in California in the Philippines we can also buy Spam sold in the stores or online is all you can say I have been doing so far in my life.

Spam have different prices from different seller in order to get a great deal I always try to purchase mine at Shopee per can is PHP 190.00.

For the Original flavor that is Spam Lite that my mom loves to eat I buy it in Laz Mart there was a disappointing experience I had encountered when I had purchase it in Shopee the item was spoiled.

The product wasn't expired which was the strange part who knows it was just where the seller kept it in their location or if it had happen during the process being shipped out.

No matter if you crave for American food you can still eat it International in your location your not missing anything when you live some where else than your own home town.
