Having been raised here in the Philippines, going to Divisoria is like a tradition for me. I don't know its counterparts in other countries, but i believe that bargains and deals in Divisoria are like unbeatable. For those people who haven't even heard of the place, try to Google it and you'll know what i mean when i say that DIVISORIA IS THE BARGAIN CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES.
I do have a lot of good memories with that place. Just like when my cousin bought her gorgeous wedding dress at Tutuban Shopping Mall, my cousin, my sister and I are all skeptical if we will find a good Wedding gown, because we all know that bargain products reall suck when it comes to quality, but to our surprise we found a gown that is way too gorgeous, i mean beyond gorgeous, and it's like just around 3000php, that's just around $60, and mind you guys it's a set! It comes with all the necessary thing you need in a wedding, like the gold coins, the ring-bearer pillow, like the whole package, and we just find it a steal because the quality of the product is just remarkable. Plus the time we spent running down all the corridors of the shopping center is like a good bonding for us.
I just literally grabbed her wedding picture in fb account. Peace Ate! Just look at that gown, would you think that it's just around 3000php? I wouldn't! it's a total steal.
And this is the back view of her gown, it's like uhh, so gorgeous!!!!
My boyfriend and i like literally goes to Divisoria at least once a month, just to buy random stuff that we think we need. Of course, when you talk about Divisoria you would also think of fake products, and believe me, when i say fake, i mean it. My boyfriend gave me a China Phone Replica of the iPhone 4, and it's disgusting! Like after 3mos of using it, it died on me! I'm not a gadget abuser or whatsoever, i take care of each and every single gadgets i have, may it be cheap or expensive. But, man that phone is like disposable! My boyfriend bought it around 2000php and we thought that it's a steal because it really looks like the real one! But we ended just wasting 2000php for a bullcrap!
I just found the box, the phone? I threw it a long time ago! this box brings the memory of me being all giddy for an iPhone 4 dupe, and i just ended up a sorry looser in the end! Lesson learned!
Divisoria is a haven for those people who are on a budget like me. Yes, you'll find good dupes in here, but you got to be patient, and very much particular into the quality side of the product. You got to haggle like there's no tomorrow too!! I mean there are a lot of good stuff in Divisoria you just got to find it, like Diamond in the rough hunnies!
Happy bargain hunting you guys!!!
P.S.
I will do a Divisoria haul sometime next week. Watch out for that!!!!
