Bazaar means "place of prices". It is where you can find great deals - getting more for less! As jaded teachers fresh from making test questions for the third quarter exams, me, Christ, Ate Aida, and Marvel agreed to have an ukay-ukay day! So we hunted down bazaars in the big OZ with only P300 teacher-budget in our pocket.
Bazaars in 50th Barangay and 2nd Floor Public Mall |
One thing I love from bazaars aside from their friendly prices is that they are a great source of unique items. You can be sure to get something one of a kind.
Pictorial Outfits and Gowns |
Apart from apparels, you can also scavenge designer bags. If you're lucky enough, you can also pick a brand-new one!
High-Quality Bags at Bazaars |
Now want to visit a bazaar? Wait a minute! Learn some from these tips:
1. Wear comfy clothes and flip flops so you can easily try on clothes even if there's no dressing room around.
2. Bring only a fair amount of money in your pocket to keep you away from spending too much .
3. Do not bring other valuables as celfones for you might loose them while busy rummaging on mountains of ukay-ukay.
4. Befriend the storekeeper so you can make the least possible bargain on the item you want.
5. Tag along your FRIENDS because their opinion matters a lot upon deciding which from the lot to buy.
And the result of our P300 challenge:
Christ with only P30 spent for a plaid dress.
Marvel with only P120 spent for a brand-new designer tote bag.
All-in, our teacher-budget had gone a long way with 3 sheer blouses, 1 semi-cardigan, 1 plaid dress, and 1 tote bag!
And the best way to end a bazaar s/hopping day is to treat ourselves with good food at McDo along with Robinson's fresh garden salads and fruits!:)
