Shoppers and Grocery Behavior
Groceries and shoppers alike have somehow changed in anticipation
for Christmas here in the Philippines.
Upon my visit to the nearest grocery, shoppers have started buying Christmas food and the grocery owners made measures that stocks are readily available for the shoppers. Prices vary depending on the sizes and brand so everyone will be able to afford regardless of social status.
Popular Christmas food would be the 'Queso de Bola' or cheese ball, 'hamon' or ham and ingredients to make fruit salad. Christmas decor is also out for, all shapes and sizes.
Though shoppers now are more meticulous in buying their goods, they check out what country it came from, it makes them choose goods with better quality. As for decors, if it involves lights, it is highly discouraged to buy cheap Christmas lights from China because of the poor materials used that is prone to fire.
Even toys are checked by buyers as to its origin to avoid countries known using paint with lead. Even if that was corrected, it wont hurt to avoid those for now.
Food is also checked for its origin because of the recent melamine scare, trying to avoid those food and brands made in countries guilty of using melamine.
There are always cheaper alternatives to everything that can be bought but buyers need to weigh if they are compromise quality for cost.
With the different factors in buying, people still flock shop to make their Christmas brighter in spite of any scare or economic situation.
