S&R to boost "member-shopping" culture in Cebu

[iwantmyboyfriend]

---

excuse me sir.... their doritos costs 10 pesos less than SM... so, you stand corrected there...

anyway, i guess what i am trying to say is that "I" don't want to pay a "membership" to shop there.... holy crap................

yeah... i paid makro's membership fee before of 125.... i think which is reasonable... 700?

most people i know won't pay for it...

i'd have to buy 100 doritos para mabawi ang 700 membership...

this is normal in other countries.. we will come to accept that one day..

it's a really really nice store jd para sa mga ka afford. if d mo ka afford, ayaw lang mo sulod. ok rman pd ang gaisano but worth it jud ang 700 na membership, at least for me.

aw o noh? ako to ingnon amo relatives abroad ig-ngari nila. kwarta na lang dalhon para pud di sila mag excess baggage.

nya since every 5-7 years man sila manganhi, aw unya na lang mi shopping balik after 5 years tuwiwiwing.

bitaw, prangka lang ko di jud mi kaafford sa membership fee ug sa mga items dinha. so love my own lang mi

...
another advantage ako nakita, kato naay relatives/friends abroad, dili nana sila magpadala ug imported products inig uli nila dire Cebu. instead, kwarta nalang imo pangayu-on nila then adto nalang mo sa S&R mag shopping. hehe

ka funny ba sa uban comments diri na thread oi.
maka ingon man ka na naay uban na mangusog jud kay ngano kono mu bayad para mu shop,
or kay mapareha ra daw kono sa makro inig ka dugayan..

dli ni mapareha sa makro kay kato ra maka afford ang ila target, and even if dli ka maka afford,
naa jud mga tao, katong mga naka suway na, na mangita jud paagi para makapalit sila diri,
it's all in preference really..
like for me, the beauty products that work for me are usually the imported ones. why?
because wala man ko ka uyon ug local... of course, ug mangarte dapat investment jud..
compared sa Rustan's sa ayala, mas barato ang ilang mga beauty products
for example, Garnier na shampoo and conditioner, Neutrogena body wash, Loreal hair serum,
and Olay facial scrub.. but mu shop ra ghapon ko sa uban stores para sa uban gusto nako na wala didto..

but I buy local products when I can like meat, condiments, some vegetables, cleaning products,
If naa sa SnR pwde paliton ngadto but if it's something like cellophane sa ice imong paliton, or datu puti na suka
aw natural adto jud ka sa Metro mu palit ana..

langawon nalang cguro ng SnR ug naay mu abot Costco or Wallmart diri but it doesnt mean na mahutdan gihapon ug mamalitay sa Gaisano, will it?

My Opinion:

I welcome S&R for the mere reason there are some products that we don't find in our local groceries but can be purchased here. Although unlike the Costco (same type of store , bulk sale ) in the states that has truly a big difference in pricing if u buy by bulk , S&R do not have the same deal sad to say, it has the same pricing if not a tad higher for imported goods BUT I buy it or people still buy it because we can't get it anywhere in Cebu. That is their strong selling point. In fairness to S&R though, they have a good overall understanding of keeping the place Clean and Tidy, Goods especially herbs , vegetables, meats are properly cooled (ie the really big walk in cooling place for vegetables), that is another selling point, it costs the same elsewhere but I get the freshest goods for my resto. I tried their food too and it aint bad , had the beef roll the other day and beef was fresh, onion and bell pepper crackled in my mouth with full flavor and I tasted 2 kinds of cheeses in it. Overall have a good experience in S&R

S&R will stay open since people will slowly understand if the place is maintained well, quality maintained, they would rather get goods there. Secret is the word "FRESH" and the rule of economics bringing products not found in other stores sell.

Plus special sales like that poster above should bring in the crowd.

mao mao, dependi raman pud na kung unsa class of society na belong,

SnR - Higher Class
SM and Ayala - All Class
Gaisano Stores - All Class

Yup someday mapariho ra sa Makro, murag nag hinay hinay na ug sirado.

ah. thanks sir. confirmed na ba na? naa mn gd ni post dri nga 1.5k daw magpa member...

[cooldude75ph]

actually 700 ra.. or was it 750..

Yup. It's till P700 for Gold Membership (limited to one extension). Same as sa Metro Manila outlets nila. Nag-promo lang sila sa una nga pag-open nila nga if you get the P700 Gold Membership, free na ang extension card since the extension card normally costs P400 for the Gold Membership).

So that facts can be settled, just check their site regarding membership -> Membership
