Bacolod City 🇵🇭 - Is LANDERS worth joining?

[@kweenj]

Some people were furious about the prices and compare them in public markets. Wt heck. It's a matter of choice. If they cant afford it why go there anyway. These stores are selling imported good so what should they expect.

[@asianight9188]

You need to know your prices...

[@doods20fer41]

that's true & they get upset for non sense

[@robertp.7090]

Well done and thanks!!!!!!! I went there for the first time and thought the same thing about the fruit, damn expensive but they've many imported products. I thought the steak selection was great, actual Western cuts of beef. Did you see the large squeeze bottles of Helman's mayo for 130P, buy 1 get 1?

[@asianight9188]

Didn't see the mayo

[@kisoxan1275]

Hello, i guess the reason they do not have small baskets is because they categorize themselves as superstore or super groceries why they only have huge carts. Even in manila were i have been they don't have small baskets same as SnR. 😃

[@asianight9188]

I will take my own basket next time😁

[@dellyvlogs1284]

Yup. Same as in S&R in manila we went before. Only big baskets

[@nsan48]

Yes. This is a copy of Costco in the US, which is also like warehouse shopping and only has big carts. Costco in the US also has their own pizza and it tastes the same as Landers. So Landers (and S&R) are really copies of Costco.

[@enricovillanueva9978]

Large carts can accommodate more grocery purchase items and more sales is what Landers wants.

[@enricovillanueva9978]

The size of the cart is determined by the profit.

[@celestinoyee4709]

Thanks for the videos, really appreciate it 👌

[@arembotate4100]

Well, Costco in the US is also like that. $60 annual membership fee. And you cannot buy retail because items are in bulk. Items that are sold "retail" as one piece is a big piece. It caters to big families. But for individual this is not the place to buy your groceries.

[@asianight9188]

I will visit for things I can't get easily elsewhere like the beef and cheese, and some frozen items, less than a basket full

[@arembotate4100]

@@asianight9188 Understood. And people still go crazy over Costco.

[@glennwlove]

Good news about the beef, I’m sure I seen some Aussie steaks in your video? What about reasonable priced wine, I’m really happy with the Portuguese wine that Pure Gold sell for about 250 peso per bottle.

[@asianight9188]

I didn't see any wine at that price, it seems they stock a lot of high end wines and whisky's

[@JP-AP]

Have shopped there a few times. Have found some items cheaper than the grocery stores. The bad news is that if you don't have a car, there is no taxi rank or tricycles, you have to have someone come and get you.

[@daviddodge9607]

holsten pils is not what it used to be . if you are after a clean tasting lager you might be better off with peroni ? i doubt they stock that though lol

[@asianight9188]

It's on their website but no stock here

[@jameswatson7426]

Items online you can order and pick up at the store. I think

[@Macjohn1419]

So what happens to all the perishable foods when they don’t sell it. I don’t see large crowds like in Costco here.

Nice to see that Landers opened, but what's going on with the price of the fruits. Thanks for touring us.

[@asianight9188]

Imported hence a crazy price

WoW no need for me to buy things from here when I go for my vacation 👏🏼.

[@asianight9188]

Yes!!

[@kenneth2656]

Looks like a fantastic place, I can't believe the prices of fruit that's far more expensive than here in the UK 950 pesos for two plums and 450 pesos for a small carton of blueberries, do you think there are enough people in Bacolod with the money required to shop at Landers I hope it survives as it looks like you can get just about everything you would need there and a nice environment to do your shopping in with a decent looking cafe as well.

[@asianight9188]

And they have S&R opening soon to give them competition, let's see what happens

[@casadaze6098]

I think it's expensive because of how there's rarely a fruit like that here in the Philippines. Fruits like that mostly grow in cold climates.

[@kweenj]

U know we dont grow blueberries here. 😂

[@asianight9188]

@kweenj at that price someone should learn how👍🏼

[@royignacio6922]

Everything imported is always expensive in the Philippines! For people who can afford it, it's a good to have the selection.

[@jameslonergan5840]

I asked an employee if they carried Johnsonville Bratwurst. (from WIsconsin USA) He said they usually do but they had a delivery snag...

[@needPeace6]

Big stores like these are for store business owners especially if you have a big sari sari store that needs to buy in bulk, but if you're single this is not a place for you. If you make 6 figures a month....those are inexpensive..12 bucks for a membership? that is twice as cheap as the USA...

[@gregsmith6482]

How do the prices for every day itemd compare with Lopue's and SM? Is the membership fee worth it?

[@asianight9188]

There are not many day to day items, you could not shop there alone

[@DavidBrown-ye2uy]

I was there earlier this week. Prices really varied compared to other local stores. The local alcohol was higher than what you pay elsewhere. The selection of cheese was fantastic, but it is almost all produced locally and much cheaper elsewhere (if you can find it). Canned items like lunch meat and tuna were cheaper than SM. A lot of everyday items that we purchase in supermarkets in Bacolod are cheaper than other stores. There were some really good deals on sale items. The membership will be worth it for my family but you need to watch prices in comparison to other stores.

[@asianight9188]

[@bmwr807]

Girlfriend joined Landers so I'll be in cheese heaven now - better finish off my Davidstowe mature cheddar before I fly out.😀

[@soulgalorememories9921]

We ventured there the other day - what a big disappointment it was. A lot to do about nothing as far as I can see. Prices in general are joke, not sure who their target customers are, but I saw many 4x4 cars in the car park….so I guess I’ve answered my own question. No bacon they said….I gave up after that and we went for something to eat. Having to wait for someone to vacate a table took longer than expected, but finally we got one. We tried the fish and chips…not bad fish actually, but standard fries rather than chips. We tried the pizza too….very nice, I enjoyed that. Decent but limited menu…but it was fine for us. All in all, I can’t see myself going there too often - even if it is very close to home. We will return after a month to see if they have improved anything

[@asianight9188]

Nowhere has bacon any more, something to do with pork products not being allowed from Manila, no pork sausages either, only beef and chicken. Have not seen ham in any supermarkets for ages also.

[@soulgalorememories9921]

@@asianight9188 - Ah yes…I had overlooked that, I don’t have it often but just fancied it this time. I did buy a block of vintage cheddar for less than 300, had some today and it was good.

@@soulgalorememories9921 I get that cheese too, they sell it in Robinson's sometimes and a lot cheaper than Bega brand. A secret tip for bacon, ham, sausages etc. Go opposite Landers to Lopues East supermarket, look for the green harvest freezer, they have good bacon and ham ,local from Murcia

Landers is like Costco in USA, it's a wholesale store, great if you have big family or live far from city, you can purchase like a month's supply of food/groceries, I've been there in Landers in Cebu & love it

[@manuelcamomot5152]

Huge store.

[@asianight9188]

Yes it's big...

[@enricovillanueva9978]

It's not worth joining. Landers expect you to buy in bulk or huge quantity, more than what you need to feed your entire family and friends. You think you save money by buying in bulk but you don't save .

[@ronaldoazarcon2551]

For me I love it ..for me it's worth and thankful we have this in Bacolod.. alot of people from all over negros and Panay will visit the city because of this..just imagine the economic impact...I hope you understand what I'm saying...

So true.

[@leojustinegarcia1124]

Hahaha How?

[@enricovillanueva9978]

@@leojustinegarcia1124 what do mean hahaha ha how ? In the United States we have had big box stores like COSTCO and BJ Stores since the 90's. They make their profit by selling in bulk and advertise products in low price. For example, the toiletries comes by in twenties per package. The meats and fishes like salmon are packaged in several pounds or kilos, more than a family needs for two weeks thus increasing their required caloric intake. People think because the packages are large, they think that they are paying cheaper price, instead of buying per unit price, like cents per ounces. Consequently, because of large quantities of food, the caloric intake is high resulting in diabetes and high cholesterol and triglycerides. So, hahaha yourself by getting educated and be a wise consumer.

[@TheJChill720]

Well, buying in bulk works actually if you have a big family. It's a matter of how you do the math and budgeting. I know that because I work at Costco for 16 years now. I don't know the pricing in Landers but it works the same way with Costco. I will definitely check that place when I get home to Bacolod early next year...
