Tutuban Back To School Shopping Event

by Paula Cabildo - May 30, 2017

Summer vacation is almost over and it's only a few weeks before the start of school year. As a mom, it has always been stressful during this time of the year. And like most of you, the dilemma is completing the school essentials while working on a budget.

Tutuban has been the go-to place for thrift spender like me. This mall located in Manila is a shopping haven! Everything that you need can be found in Tutuban. Prices are really cheap and you can save some more depending on your haggling skills.

Tutuban Back To School Shopping for bloggers started today, May 30 and will run until June 1, 2017. Mommy and lifestyle bloggers will be given a budget that they can use in shopping in Tutuban Mall.

With so many affordable items available, I wonder what items I'll be able to bring home. Want to know the items that made it on my haul? Check out the nice stuff that I bought with only PHP1000 budget.

On top of my list are school supplies. Most of the items are available in bookstores but they are relatively cheaper here in Tutuban.

2 short and 2 long brown envelopes, 2 short and 2 long plastic envelopes, scissors, sharpener, eraser, white board eraser, white board, and white board marker all for PHP229 from Orignamura Trading

pencil case PHP45 from Orignamura Trading

3 pieces sando PHP150 and kid's briefs PHP160 from Columbiana Commercial

I also bought some home essentials like kitchen towel PHP35 and sponge PHP8 from Orignamura Trading

Shopping won't be complete without going to toy stores. This Pie Face is a steal for only PHP265 from Anding's Toys & Flowers Inc.

One of the reasons why people go to Tutuban Mall is to look for sulit buys or value for money items.

This super cute wallet immediately caught my attention sold at PHP100 from Erlam General Merchandise

black coin purse PHP45 from Orignamura Trading

Total amount spent for all these items is only PHP984. Wow! I think I'm getting better in budgeting and spending within my means.

The shopping event is just in time for the school year. It was a fun-filled event shared with my fellow bloggers as we find cheap but useful items. Thank you Tutuban Mall for accommodating us!
