Divisoria is always our best bet for cheap but great finds… may it be for your kid’s birthday party favor, supplies in your office, corporate giveaways or whatever it is that you need … most likely you can find it in our home sweet “divilandia”!
Yup, we call it “divilandia”!… There’s a forum that many budget conscious mommies shares there ideas and great finds for home needs and baby stuff. They call divisoria … “divilandia” and now, we call it that way since we consider it a shopper’s paradise.
Last tuesday, August 21, 2007, we went to divilandia to scout for party favors for Julienne’s upcoming birthday party, some supplies for the office and for possible corporate giveaways this yuletide season.
You wouldn’t believe what we bought, how much we spent and what’s on our list for our next visit. We’ll post another entry for the party favors that we bought which only cost us 1,200 for everything (stationary sets, tumblers, stickers, coloring books, puzzles, bags, watches and “strawberry shortcake”-like hats)
Barat tips:
1. Don’t wear your jewelries when you go there. Jeans, shirt and flip-flops/sneakers would be the best attire plus a belt bag 
(this is the reason why one of the sales lady thought that i’m a trader hehehe)
2. Visit divi on a weekday and the day after the holiday (normally tuesday) would be the best timing, since everybody’s excited to go back to the office after a long weekend. 
3. Don’t limit yourself to tutuban and 168. If you think, prices here are oh sooo cheap, wait until you visit the new divisoria mall and the streets of divisoria. You wouldn’t believe the price!
4. Buy in wholesale, this only refers to 6 pcs.
5. Make a list or know what are the items you would buy, since you’ll be lured with the wide selection of items in divilandia.
6. Be prepared to carry your purchases, unless you bring your alalay with you or hire some “tambays” to carry it for you. You may also hire a pedicab to drive you to the parking area if you’re already tired with all the shopping
7. You may park at 168 or tutuban mall.
We hope you’ll have an enjoyable visit at our divilandia!:)
