Tips!
• Visit these shopping spots during their non-peak times. With Christmas season just around the corner, it is best to go shopping now, not just to avoid the surge of people but to score cheaper items as well.
• Wear comfortable clothing when shopping.
• Opt to bring a sling bag so you can secure your essential belongings and easily carry the items you’ve purchased. Don’t forget to bring an eco bag as well.
• Haggle, haggle, haggle.
Southern Manila may be home to the biggest and most luxurious malls in the country but nothing can beat the pleasure brought by saving money in the small-scale shopping centers found in the shadows of these glitzy establishments.
