The Dollar Coffee special at 7/11 tastes better than Starbucks. The Arabica beans coffee is one of my favourites. I have noticed the same in the Philippines that Starbucks gets packed out while the better coffee places are less popular. I suppose it's what one gets used to.

[@DrivingPhilippines]

The Starbucks in Lucao (Dagupan) drive-thru and parking lot was packed at noon today, while Tom and Tom, Bo's in both Calasiao and Malasiqui were ghost towns. Tho the latter always fill up in the evening to late night. People seem to have money in the province.

How can a regular Filipino afford these prices. Patronize local “Mercado” better prices and good for Philippine economy.

Hello Tom and Lay, You guys are starting the year off great with healthy eating and exercising. Keep up the great job! Love it!❤️

I have been associated with the Philippines since the early 80s and in the last 5 years prices of everything in the Philippines has risen to the point its almost as expensive as the UK. My wife and I worked overseas all our married life and our kids had graduated University and moved on, only then did we come to live in the Philippines to enjoy the fruits of our labour.

[@Tom-Lay]

It’s more expensive than Ireland and U.K. for sure

[@bertronix182]

Not true lets be realistic its way more cheaper in PH compare to UK and its not even nclose. 1 pound = 79 in pesps you can buy alot in pounds to PH you guys are not using your brain

[@ziggarillo]

​​​@@bertronix182 unfortunately that isn't true, groceries in a Superstores such as Tesco in the UK are cheaper than the Philippines. That's in PHP and compared to wet market prices.

[@markhetherington6964]

@Tom-Lay Just watching your video now guys. A couple of things I agree with you Tom. No1 Starbucks is always packed yes,coz I used to live in Starbucks wen I met my now Filipina girlfriend and I used to love it, but I agree with you now there coffee is like piss which I don't why,coz it used to be nicer and now I wouldn't be bothered going near it. No2 I agree with you in the prices for fruits and vegetables, but you and Lay shop in one of the most expensive places that Market place,coz sometimes I buy my fruit there of I can't get it on the street and really there price's are ridiculous what they charge.if you compare it to price's back home it's way,way more expensive here in the Philippines unfortunately and I think that's because alot of there fruits are imported. If you want fruits and vegetables buy them on the streets,coz they are cheaper. And bro the trainers why don't you buy them on the street,coz they are way cheaper haha. I know they are knock offs, but still cheaper than paying 6500 pesos.😅

[@fepepay1684]

​@@markhetherington6964i am from Germany. That is true like piss, sorry for the word.

[@Rudolf.Taylor]

Food prices at SM and Robinsons Malls are the same as in Sweden Europe. It's crazy. The average salary in the Philippines is 700 pesos a day. That's enough for 3 peppers in the Philippines

Tom standing in line after shopping would be a treat for me there. There is always a long line is every shopping center here in Florida. Go shopping in Wal-Mart and you will be standing in line no less then 20 minutes. I have stood in line for more then 30 minutes in Walmart just to buy 100 dollars worth of food and that is not a lot of food.

Shopping in the city is already more expensive, but then BCG and the mall? Crazy, man. And daily shopping? Phew... Hit the open markets for your standard goods. Use the supermarkets and malls for specialty items and imports. Prices have been climbing pretty quickly the past couple years. Even out here in the province prices are getting nuts. The BCG, and Manila in general, not being your vibe.... i feel you. Just an hour outside of the city makes a world of difference for a lot of things. Love my town, and we're just about 35km north of Manila. Small enough to be chill, big enough to have most of what you need.

[@atabac]

guadalupe market is near bgc, you can easily go there by jeepney/mini bus along 32nd street. produce are fresher and way lot cheaper. your 2500 will go 2-3 weeks for two people.

I was literally just there this last weekend. Went to the Peak Grill at the top of the grand Hyatt. My buddy’s finance lives in Mandaluyong. He’s there for a month. I was in Tarlac most of the holidays. Food is cheaper there but products are about same price in US. Spent time in GBC and surrounding areas there. I know exactly where you’re showing.

[@cryptorocketeer]

I wanted to buy something healthy to cook from Robinson supermarket in Mactan Newton in Cebu, I ended up buying water, beer and then went to buy food from the restaurant, it's an absolute joke guys, it's much cheaper in Sweden and apparently Sweden is very expensive, almost 3k for 2 days is disgusting actually.

[@dannynicart2389]

I think it is better to buy food items at the “wet market” as they call it because items are way down cheaper compared to a grocery store.

For fruit and veg wet market is best

What you're eating is a grain called Quinoa. It's considered a superfood because it is a complete protein which is harder to come by in grain form. It's really good for you and you can turn it into a salad and add a citrus dressing for a nice kick.

If you are ever in Cebu there is a retail park, The Outlets, in Lapu Lapu, all the big brands are there. Was there in November and bought 2 pair of Air Jordan and 2 pair of New Balance for 11k, should have been 24k. Worth shopping around. Just back in Angeles after spending 2 weeks at home in Davao, the cost of things in Luzon is crazy compared to what we pay in Davao. Used to be the other way around. In BGC what you buy has the high rent prices included.
