There is a very big supermarket close to our house in Marikina. We've shopped there a few times and I can say overall It's expensive even by UK standards. Maybe even more so.
It is just so crazy. Yet the place is always full and the shopping 'carts' always full.

The local markets are at least 1/3 of the price (even at white guy prices)
