Saturday Surprise: Bazaar S/Hopping

Saturday Surprise is all about the good things in life ought to be celebrated!:)

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.

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.

Apart from apparels, you can also scavenge designer bags.  If you’re lucky enough, you can also pick a brand-new one!

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.

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!:)
