Here in Cebu there are a lot of grocery stores. I'm not just so sure if some of the grocery stores here are also found somewhere else in the Philippines well anyway, I have a few favorite ones. The closest near to my place are Robinson's and Gaisano and I prefer Robinson's over Gaisano because it is not that crowded hence the line to the cashier is not that long, it is more complete, and the stocks are somewhat always new. Gaisano is more "pang-masa" than Robinson's so it's a little cheaper that is why I shop there sometimes. Above those two, I prefer SM groceries. So far, it is the most complete grocery store here in Cebu that I have noticed. The drawback though is that I live far from SM so it would be impractical to go there just to shop when there are two that are near me. But whenever I get the chance to go to SM, I always take it. It's cheaper than Robinson's and way too complete compared to Gaisano.

There's another one though at downtown Cebu City called Colonnade Mall. Pretty sure Cebuanos and people who have stayed in Cebu for long are familiar with such mall. In my 9 years of stay here in Cebu, I was only able to shop there twice. The best thing about it is that it's cheap, I even thought they're selling it at wholesale price. But since it's located at the heart of old Cebu City, it's always crowded and it's not a good place to shop if you're just buying a few items. People who normally shop there are retailers and sari-sari store owners which means they buy in bulk.

How about you? What's your favorite grocery store?

Every time I go shopping or go for grocery I always prefer to go to Gaisano mall here in Davao because it is a lot cheaper compared to SM or Robinson. Gaisano is very accessible too from my boarding house. Gaisano mall is budget friendly, the grocery items there are really within the average price rate and I love going there because the items are arranged accordingly.

Metro Gaisano just opened here in my area a couple of weeks ago... and i was able to grocery shop there twice now... and i must say that they have a lot of items that are not available in SM Hypermarket, Robinson's, and Puregold... the only problem is that the place is not that accessible... unlike the first two which are only one jeepney away...

So i only get to grocery shop at Metro Gaisano when my parents go there too... they have a van so i just hitch in...

I live in Alabang and I prefer doing my grocery shopping in South Supermarket. It's very clean, especially their meat section. It doesn't stink (haha), unlike other groceries. I also love it because most hard-to-find ingredients can be found there. And whenever I compare prices, they are cheaper than others.:))

Lately, I only have the chance of doing some grocery shopping whenever I stay in angeles pampanga during weekends. Since my gf loves to shop specially in the supermarkets, we have tried all the supermarket in angeles and so far, the best is Metro at the newly opened Marquee Mall, it has lots of items specially imported products, price is competetive and they have items we wont find in sm and robinsons, next is sm since we find the prices cheaper there compared to robinsons and marquee, then our last choice is will be either robinsons or genra.

I don't have a favorite grocery store. I shop to a grocery store that is near where I am. Therefore, if I am in town, wherever I may be, I go to the nearest grocery store and do some sight seeing first if the prices are comparable to the other grocery stores that I've gone to. But there are few times that I really intentionally go to the store that is offering the cheapest price.

I am in Cebu City. Why don't you try shopping at White Gold Superstore? I always go there for grocery shopping every week. It is far from where I am but it is a chance for us to proceed there after church on Sundays. It is a big store and I like shopping for groceries there because it is cheap and not crowded. You have a very big space for your shopping carts to push. They have the wet section (for meat and fish and other seafood products) and vegetables, too. They also have the department store area where dry goods are sold at reasonable prices. To top it all, you can get an Elite card for a certain amount of purchases or for a small annual fee. You can use this card in your purchases and you earn points. A certain amount of points may be converted into cash or you can use it to purchase items. They have "computer" games too, where u can quickly win discount coupons and other gift items. It also has a very big space for parking. Taxicabs and jeepneys have a space for their parking there to wait for passengers. (do I sound like advertising this store? hahahaha)
