In our country, more of the Filipino loves to buy ukay-ukay products. Yesterday my friend and I went to ukay-ukay store in Lucena City. The ukay-ukay is very in-demand today, because most of the products comes directly from US. More on the ukay-ukay items will see are a mixture of clothes and other items that could be new signature brands looks like brand-new, and secondhand. More products of the ukay-ukay are very good and strong cottons and not easy to break up.
Here in our town Lucena City, the center of the ukay-ukay trade is in the Quezon Avenue Street. However, there are also small ukay-ukay stores in different parts of Lucena. The ukay-ukay is one of my favorite shopping stores. Because they are many kinds of products you will see in ukay-ukay, like clothes, shoes, bags and everything. Anyway, my friends and I bought secondhand long champ bag, it looks brand new and durable. The prize is very affordable. We are careful to choose of items to buy because some of the items have damages.
I also in Ukay-Ukay but the thing is I really don’t know how to picked good ukay ukays. Mostly, it is too tight or too lose for me. Sigh!
I haven’t done any ukay ukay shopping in ages! I miss it terribly. You can always get good finds there.
Ukay Ukay is a cheaper alternative to shop and it’s also nice since you can haggle for a good price.
Our business is ukay-ukay too! But we are the importer, then we grade the items and export them or sell them locally. 😉
Filipinos really love to get the most value for their money. Where there’s anything that’s a steal, you’re sure to find Filipinos. And I also agree that in the case of ukay-ukays, the deal hunter should always make sure she’s not getting damaged goods.
I don’t go much to Ukay2 store but hubby did, lols and surely he can find some nice items there..
Ukay2x saves you tons of money especially if you know what items you want, size and all the important stuff. You have to make sure that you are good with bargain too 🙂 I go to garage sale sometimes or thrift store and send my family a lot of stuff in my balikbayan box.
There are many good finds in ukay-ukay, we just have to be patient enough to find them.
I miss our hometown! I’m not really a fan of ukay ukay but friends bugged me into it.. I was loving it, prior to coming here! now, I think I am liking… Goodwill! lol!
