[_Cathy_]

No.

I will only go to SM if there's no other grocery in the area or if the item I need is not available in my regular grocery. I don't patronise SM malls because they rarely give the exact change. Their grand excuse is that they are out of coins. If this were true, how highly inefficient for a store of their size. In other stores, they give more than the change if they run out of coins.

Plus this practice doesn't only happen for purchases but in bills payment as well!!! They credit the exact amount in the bill even if you give cash over the exact amount. For example if the bill is 1,100.30 and you gave cash of 1,100.50. They will only credit 1,100.30. This happened to me several times so I make sure that I keep coins at home (10 and 5 cents) so I could always give the exact amount. It's not really about the money but the principle behind it.

No.

I prefer Shopwise because their blue carts are easier to use.

SM Savemore big carts feel like loose wheel alignment.



And I hate the fishy smell of SM Bonus meat.

[nervenllarena]

Yes

convenient mag grocery sa sm halos ng kelangan mo meron sila kahit seafood at meat kung bibili ka ng fish pwede mong palinis sa kanila and then madami silang open na cashier kaya hindi masyado mahaba ang pila sa pagbabayad

SM Hypermart.

Malapit lang sa amin. Iwas "botcha"..........

[renzo_d10]

SM Savemore / Hypermart.

Very easy maggrocery and dun sa pinupuntahan kong branches konti lang yung tao so very convenient.

[Chikselog]

Mas mura sa Landmark.

When we do our market for our cafeteria operations we always go to Landmark dahil mas mura kaysa SM.

So *topic, no.

[tidus1203]

Yep we do... Either Save More or Hypermarket...

[Wh1stl3r]

We try not to, as too many friends' businesses have fallen to the SM group's Save More and SM Hypermart. But sometimes doing so is so inconvenient it can't be helped. Medyo limited nga lang ang choices sa SM. They don't have flavored Coffemate for example or limited flavors only. Can someone tell me why they don't have Colgate?

[Dragunov47]

very seldom that i do my groceries at sm? i prefer landmark trinoma over sm coz its more organized and more complete.

[Starex_Gold]

Yes. Usually sa pinaka malapit na SM sa'min..

SM Manila

or Hypermart Santa Mesa.

[Mguy]

Yes. Its a matter of convenience. Malapit sa bahay, kumpleto sa gamit, one stop shop. SM Hypermart Pasig po ako.

No other grocery store near our place, everything mas malayo. Easier parking, easy bringing carts to parking. I pay using cards kaya no problem sa change. I get points sa SM Advantage.

Iwas botcha rin. Sure, not everything is the cheapest in the market but for a few pesos difference, why would I move around and waste time and gasoline just to get the cheapest?

They have Coffeemate.

They dont sell Colgate sa Hypermart but they sell it sa Watson. Don't know why though.

[projector]

hi top or cherry foodarama kami

[CVT]

That is the regular Saturday morning routine for wife and myself....

Same tayo Sir! Sorry medyo OT, mas gusto ko talaga mag grocery sa Landmark, Unimart, Hi-Top or Makati Supermarket!

Pag maramihan ang bili, I go to S&R!

[Starex_Gold]

Nag-grocery lang din kami sa SM dahil sa Points para sa SM Advantage Card

[gongrhey]

Yes, at SM Hypermarket Fairview lapit lang sa amin.

[vito corleone]

no, sa hi top kami naggo-grocery. . .mas mura

also, sm and savemore deliberately and forcefully sell spoiled vegetables by putting them together with fresh ones in the same pack--di ka pwedeng pumili

we don't experience that at hi top, even if we have to buy vegies from them every once in a while

[roninblade]

not if i can help it. andami naman groceries around where i live in the city and province. pag wala kelangan ko sa iba saka lang ako pupunta ng sm.
