Taytay Haul Sept 2018

So last Thursday we went to the Taytay tiangge night market! We were told that Monday and Thursday nights were the "bagsakan" days, so we went at 10pm on those days. 

Only a few stores like My Seoul, Jazphine, and Bagpi were open that night. I wouldn't recommend going to the night market if you want to get the best out of your money. Mornings are still preferred.

Moving on, we were so unlucky that night. It rained so hard and the power went out. A lot of the stalls closed their store earlier than expected 'cause they weren't sure when the power would come back. So we middle-class workers who only get to go there in our free time had to continue shopping with our phone lights on. The power did come back after an hour, but the stalls were limited by then since a lot of them closed early.

A few tips for those who would go to Taytay tiangge:

1. Magpabarya. Most of them won't accept your thousand peso bill. They'd be annoyed if they do.

2. Bring an eco bag, a must! 

3. Go in comfy clothes. It's really hot in there, even at night.

4. If you're on a tight budget, bring the exact amount. If not, bring extra! Most of the clothes there are so cheap that it'd be hard to track your money.

5. Come with friends. One word, wholesale, wholesale, wholesale!

6. Haggle like your life depends on it! Most of them just want to go home and make the best out of the night, so sometimes they'll give it to you at a lower price just so they can make their sale.

So those were my tips and now let's proceed to what I bought and what you could buy at Taytay tiangge.

All in all, I spent 995.00 for everything. Wow, under a thousand! Obviously, I got most of what I bought from Bagpi. Most of the sellers there stayed even if the power went out. Mga di nangiwan nga naman 😂.  This is the second time that I went to the night market, and I personally feel that the clothes that I bought were on the expensive side. Maybe it's because I didn't get to explore much, I was only in one area I used to score a lot of clothes ranging from 50-90 pesos. Anyway, you can still see how cheap it is to buy from the market. You can buy clothes there for any occasion. Whether you're going to the church, an outing, or normal office clothes.
