My friend Alma Hnanguei just invited me to https://dealgrocer.com. You may want to check it out too. I am not necessarily a cheapskate (but I guess I am sometimes)
It is fun to get something at half the price and bargain rates, really. However, sometimes for real bargains on branded items here in the Philippines, we have to go to the outlet stores outside Manila.
My favorites are the ones at:
*Sta. Rosa Outlet Store and
*Robinson’s Pampanga Mall
Do go to :

And you will find there interesting blogposts about shopping and outlet stores.
*Star Trends apparel

But if you still have not yet scheduled your out-of-town outlet shopping, You may want to google the net for Schedules on upcoming Bazaars in the Philippines.
They normally hold it at:
The World Trade Center or NBC Tent at Fort Or Rockwell Tent or SMX :
I also love going to Robinson’s Mall Manila because aside from it being accessible from our place, I love going to two places there:
First, Red Tag
It has branded items from Rustan’s but on discounted prices.
It is like an all year round discount store for the brands that Rustan’s carry.
I love going there especially during August and October but I do drop by the store from time to time.
It is presently going renovations though, so the store is quite cramped nowadays.
Second, a temporary store of Apple & Eve , unlike all there other stores which only have a few stocks on sale , this one has half the store with items on sale.
And recently somewhere in Paranaque my husband and I went to mj46:
http://www.mj46center.com/
It is a compound for Nike, Adidas, Levi’s and Toys for Us outlet stores.
