9234 Shopping

Marks & Spencer and F&F, (Florence and Fred as in Tesco), are in the Ayala Mall. Some Tesco grocery lines are also available in SM City

For those familiar with CostCo and the Kirkland Signature brand there is http://www.snrshopping.com. They have discount warehouses in various locations in the Philippines, see the web site for the list. To shop one needs a membership card, PHP 700 annual membership and PHP 400 for an additional annual membership card at the same address. Compare this with PHP 20 per visit to the parking lot at Gaisano Mactan. Only 35 visits and PHP 700 has been spent.

As yet I have not resorted to imported goods as I have found most things I have thought of. I have not purchased some of the items but I know where they are, items such as breadmakers, grills etc ...

Beware of buying on-line, as the cost including delivery is sometimes no less than the local shops and if there are any issues I would be liable for all return costs etc.. It is easiest to talk to someone over the counter rather than the end of a phone. :-) :-)

Note To get the discounts advertised on the price tags at Wilcon Hardware Depot and such like one must visit the store rather than purchase on-line. On-line is NOT always cheaper.

Buying Natural Progesterone

I asked in various pharmacies in Cebu but could not obtain Natural Progesterone. So I resorted to going on-line. I found one brand using this query:- http://www.lazada.com.ph/catalog/?q=natural+progesteron+cream

This cream was found:- http://www.lazada.com.ph/now-foods-progesterone-cream-2646348.html
