Have you heard about “Home Buddies”? Are you a member of this fast-growing Facebook group? If you are an adult and you aren’t, you’re missing out! If you already are, I have great finds to share with you!
Home Buddies is a Facebook group created by Frances Lim Cabatuando to gather people to pitch in ideas for home improvement tips and tricks. It was formed in September 2020 and kept on growing since then. Today, it has over two million members! I, myself, is a member.
When people find great items on online shopping platforms like Lazada or Shoppee, Home Buddies members share it to the group so others can avail of it also. When other members are pursuaded to buy for themselves, they call it “budol”. Budol is a word used to name a syndicate group in the Philippines. They are called the “Budol-budol” gang for hypnotizing and persuading their victims to give up their valuables. In this article, I am going to compile them all for you! Here we go!
