When looking for wholesale priced items, no doubt, Divisoria is the place to be. From wholesale clothes to kitchenware to shoes to school supplies to party favors -- name it, they have it. And they're incredibly cheap.
But since there are a lot of cheap finds at this place, you are prone to spending more and going home broke.
So how do you avoid over-spending when going to Divisoria? Here are some helpful tips:
1. Put your shopping budget in an envelope. Make sure that you segregate your shopping money from your wallet. This way you can keep track of the money that you spend and the remaining budget.
2. Make a list of items that you want to buy and stick with it. The truth is, it's hard NOT to buy things that are not in your list. Sure, you can add a few more items to your shopping bag. But the least you can do is stick to your budget no matter what.
3. Use a small sling bag. In a place where there are lots of people, thieves are everywhere so be careful. Better use a bag that you can thug in front of you. And strictly no jewelry, please!
4. Haggle. This is the perfect place to showcase your haggling skills! :-)
