Our culture of being thrifty continues to thrive!
Ukay-ukay or flea markets that sell used clothes are still a major industry in the Philippines. Filipinos look for value before they make purchases, and some ukay-ukay places are a source of treasure!
The key is to make sure that your second-hand merchandise is still of reasonably good quality. Some Filipinos ask their balikbayan friends or relatives to bring home discounted merchandise from the US usually bought at outlet stores. Another source for discounted merchandise is China.
