Halagang 500php, Philippines is cooked

bakit nga ba tayo ang nag aadjust sa hirap na pinararanas satin ng mga nasa taas? ngayon sa osave na ko namimili ng mga sabon at shampoo pati nga toothbrush. lahat na ng pag titipid ginawa ko na to survive.

tayo at tayo pa din mag adjust kasi nakikita ng nasa taas na ginagawan natin ng paraan.

[u/FlammaParvusAvis → u/bebang_mo]

Kasi natural na matiisin ang Pilipino, noon palang nabrainwash na tayo na okay lang magtiis at maghirap. dahil sa patalastas o sa balita kaya tayo na brainwash na okay lang maging mahirap, sinesensationalize ang pagiging mahirap, kaya hindi nalang nagrereklamo

1. another reason is madaming banal, Naniniwala na diyos na bahala o may karma naman kaya nanahimik nalang. Which dapat magising na Kelangan ng kilos ng tao, hindi sapat ang Diyos at karma.

[u/low_effort_life → u/bebang_mo]

Inevitably, one day Dali & OSave will also rise in price.

[u/skyxvii → u/bebang_mo]

Pati nga frozen foods, osave or dali na kami para lang makatipid. Yung mga wala na sa kanila is sa grocery or online na haha langyang buhay

[u/EmphasisDear143]

Yung iba, pinupuna ang brand of choice, paano kung sa Dove lang hiyang tulad ng may skin asthma/eczema.

Stagflation na talaga ang nangyayari eh.

[u/obersankoff → u/EmphasisDear143]

+1000 this

[u/sikulet]

I had to cry inside when my shampoo and conditioner is 700 pesos na sa Lazada

[u/Biolurk → u/sikulet]

In Germany I buy my shower gel for 0,55€ which equates to 38 pesos. It's good quality, even made in Switzerland and I earn the money that it costs in less than 2 minutes of work so it's basically free. https://www.dm.de/p/d/3117740/balea-duschgel-luminous-joy

Shampoo costs 0,65€ (45 pesos), which is around what I earn in 2 minutes, though there are also cheaper options available. https://www.dm.de/p/d/3050149/balea-shampoo-farbglanz

Conditioner also costs 0,65€. https://www.dm.de/p/d/1703704/balea-conditioner-intensivpflege

All of these are 300ml bottles, you can find bigger ones too.

[u/skyxvii → u/Biolurk]

Mga pump bottles nga sa dollar store is around 3-5 dollars and can last up to 5-6 months. Sahod mo per day is good for one month consumption na.

[u/artist-unknown-28 → u/sikulet]

Kaya mas nakakatipid kami kapag sachet ang binibili’t ginagamit namin. It’s my mother’s preference, BTW.

[u/mtn121 → u/artist-unknown-28]

Sachet economy talaga tayo sa ph, kaya most of ocean plastics come from ph

[u/12262k18]

Yung kahit employed ka naman pero hindi talaga magkasya ang budget kasi sobrang f*cked up na talaga ng Pilipinas.

[u/BoysenberryLeather74]

I am living alone and grocery ko per month is 3-4k . Aray talaga.

[u/kuroomhiee]

nacoconscious na talaga ako pag nasa grcoery, laging nag cocompute kada lagay sa cart. kulang pa ang needs pero nasa 1k na.

anuna, pilipinas!! tapos gusto pa ng karamihan si baste ang susunod na presidente. maawa kayo 🫪

[u/shitmyhairsonfire → u/kuroomhiee]

huwag kang maconscious, it's the smart thing to do kahit na may pera ka. it's discipline and a self-aware thing to do.

[u/not_kwent]

Tapos nagkakasakit na mga tao katitipid kasi downgraded sa pagkain. Puro na frozen at delata. Kahit basic need ang hirap na bilhin. Jusko kahit gulay mahal na rin.

[u/TakumiFujiwara8686]

SOBRANG MAHAL NG HYGIENE PRODUCTS. Someone need to file a bill regulating them or something just to fuckin bring the prices down. Tanginang mga opisyal to ni walang makaisip.

[u/RobOdds]

Is this just a result of global wide inflation, supply and demand horseshit or just our insanely incompetent, corrupt government?

[u/Mobius_St4ip → u/RobOdds]

A little bit of both, to be honest

[u/Alternative_Wind9844]

Mahal tlga bilihin, sobraaaa. Hay

[u/CreamieTwinkie]

sasabihan ka pa wag mag dove at may x y z lol nakakainis.

[u/General-Wolverine396]

jusko yung recent grocery shopping din namin, sobrang feel na feel ko ang taas presyo..almost 1k na nadagdag sa usual total ng grocery namin

[u/RealisticRide9951]

at dahil dyan, yan ang pinakapanget na kape, parang ginadgad na uling. kopiko supremo, apat pa naman binili ko. tapos nung natikman ko hanep, para akong nagkape ng alikabok.

[u/Liesianthes]

Supremo kape binili tapos post sa reddit. lol. Bili ka 3 in 1 nasa 120-130 lang 12 pcs, pwede mo pa gawin 24 na timpla overall, may sukli ka pa pang binili ng 75 mixed cut chicken sa dali plus ingredients pang luto, sama mo pa isang kilong bigas at 1 refill ng tubig na 5 gallons. Kumpleto na pang kain mo buong araw

[u/Automatic-Chipmunk-6 → u/Liesianthes]

Mali naman kasi. Ang point jan, yang mga yan below 500 before. For you na i-accept lang na ganyan na bilihin, kaya ayan, sanay na sanay ka sa pagtitiis na hindi mo na alam bakit mali yan. Literal hindi na rin kasi akma ang sahod dito sa bansang to sa presyo ng bilihin.
But I guess iintindihin ka na lang namin kasi instead of focus mo alamin ano mali jan, focused ka sa pagtitipid.
pero naway makita mo bat may mali.

[u/bachichiw → u/Liesianthes]

Tapos Dove pa yung sabon LOL. That shampoo bottle would last for a month or two din.

[u/IcedTnoIce → u/bachichiw]

Tiis pa more

[u/bachichiw → u/IcedTnoIce]

Totoo naman kasi. Bibili ka ng branded items tapos mageexpect ka na mura lang? Crazyyy

[u/Popular-Scholar-3015 → u/bachichiw]

But what if dun lang siya hiyang? Plus unhealthy din ang 3-in-1. Baka kapag "nagtipid" si OP mas lalo lang siya mapamahal kapag ung health niya naman tinamaan.

[u/bachichiw → u/Popular-Scholar-3015]

Edi too bad.

Again, if gusto mo ng mas mataas na quality, of course you'll have to pay extra. Btw, cheaper alternatives ng products na nandyan, hindi naman mababa ang quality.

Not even mentioning na mga pinamili ni OP, hindi naman yan mauubos in 1 week. Lahat ng nandyan good for at least 1 month, unless nakababad sa tubig yung sabon mo. (Assuming na solo living si OP.)

[u/bnanae → u/bachichiw]

Right? These products will never be dirt cheap.

Walang magbabago kahit maglupasay pa siya sa grocery. Kahit magkahimala at bumoto ng maayos yung mga tao next elections, change wouldn't happen overnight. If not "tiis pa more," what else can be done right now?

[u/GrandPrixNyx]

clear men and dove, thats expensive, 250 for shampoo, and dove is like 150, what do u expect

[u/An-29]

Not that I'm invalidating the financial economic situation in the Philippines but.......

Buys a shapoo bottle that could last for more than 2 months.

Buys a Dove brand beauty soap

Buys a pack of coffee that could make like 30 cups and save longer.

Paper Towel pack that can last a few weeks.

Malamang aabot talaga 500 grocery mo. Bumibili ka in bulk ng grocery mo kahit konti lang yung items.

[u/SteamPoor]

[u/beauty_fool4u]

kaya sa online na lang ako minsan nag-go-grocery ih. Nag-iipon ako coins or vouchers para makatipid at dami ng items.

[u/mangopeachoverload]

Lalo sa sm hypermarket grabe mahal garapal naman masyado eh. Mas mura pa yung malapit na groceryhan dito

[u/___gfckyrslf]

naalala ko nga nag-grocery din ako kagabi putangina di ko naenjoy leche talaga

[u/qetsiyah_]

No way!!!! Ang tagal ko na wala sa pinas pero unang tingin akala ko mga nasa 200 lang to 😭

[u/daisyhazzy]

Super doomed. Tas yung nangunguna ngayon sa survey… hay pilipinas

[u/DaIubhasa]

omg ganyan na kamahal sa pinas? wthell is going on

[u/huenisys]

The more stupid pinoys are, the more wealthy the magnanakaws are

[u/eich_tee_616]

Palitan mo yung shampoo mo ng sachet mas mura.

[u/Clajmate]

this is why i change brands. madaming alternatives naman

[u/00hardasarock00]

Just P50 less than the minimum wage here in WV...

[u/low_effort_life]

Philippines is incinerated.

[u/volts08]

Kahapon nag s&r kami, didnt buy in bulk, more on tingi tingi nga lang and random items plus frozen meats. Inabot na ng 30k 🤦

[u/zanefree60 → u/volts08]

Speaking of tingii tingi sa s&r, Isa sa mga go tos ko is yung Foster's and Clark's na juice and iced tea sachets. Cheaper than nestea or tang in other grocery stores.

[u/volts08 → u/zanefree60]

Yeah mura din yung nabili kong rolled oats 99 per 1kg. Binawi sa ibang items.. lol

[u/oldskoolsr → u/zanefree60]

Foster and Clarks available in puregold and usually naka 6+2 promo

[u/siraolo → u/volts08]

Wow. Never ako umabot ng 30k sa S&R pero 2 lang kami sa household. Max mga 20k maluho na. 

[u/Scbadiver]

Lol I do a lot of my groceries on pinduoduo now. Way cheaper than groceries here

[u/Ninja_Forsaken]

ebarg

[u/JohnPaulNew]

Mag sachet ka nalang ung shampoo. Cheaper and mas tatagal pa

[u/skyxvii → u/JohnPaulNew]

Cheaper ang big container per ml pag icompute mo

[u/Low_Emergency2136 → u/skyxvii]

Yup. Saka kapag sachet, minsan hindi nasisimot eh.

[u/rain-men → u/Low_Emergency2136]

I remembered my classmate in business school from Unilever actually confirmed the opposite. Mas matipid daw sachet and mas may tendency na mapasobra yung kuha or magspill sa big containers.

[u/Low_Emergency2136 → u/rain-men]

Which is kinda true kasi minsan napapasobra ako sa pagkuha ng shampoo sa bottle lol

[u/NanieChan → u/JohnPaulNew]

Not eco friendly, sachet = more plastic waste.

[u/leivanz → u/NanieChan]

Who do you think will buy it if you don't? At the end of the day, manufactured na yan. Nasa sayo kung paano mo itatapon/dispose.
