    Which is your favorite?

    True Value is one of the places I go to when I want to kill time at the mall. They have such a wide variety of items, it's impossible to leave without buying anything.

    I avoid anything SM but Ace also has a good selection of items.

    True value and handy man is one and the same. Local counter part ng true value ang handy man.

    But I equally like them all, meron items na exclusive lang sa ACE and Vice versa.

    I like True Value to kill time and get abubot.

    Outside of items exclusively branded for the store (ex: Ace branded microfiber rags) I think the common stuff between them have the same distributor anyway. It’s like Toys r Us and Toy Kingdom- they’re rivals but they both have common suppliers like Richwell, Bankee, Playkit.

    pati yan Shang hirap mag-discount ngaun. dati dami sarap bilhen dyan. pero dyan ako nakabile ng pinakamatinde degreaser, talagang naging squeaky clean ang engine ng Santa Fe ko, na more than 10 years ko hindi pinalinis

    i like all of them. for construction materials eg paint, hardwares and tools sa ace. for home accessories n abubot true value or handyman. mas madaming imported items sa true value.

    all of the above, add mo na din wilcon and home depot.

    pero pag powered items (pressure washer, grass cutter, etc.) sa raon, side streets sa rizal ave or sta cruz. prices are 20-30% lower all year long. but 1 time may sale ang true value ng pressure washer na bosch at 50% discount (with "trade-in" of old unit running or not). i did not buy kasi ok pa naman unit ko. then the next month nasira, wala nang sale. bwisit!

    i just bought a pvc door set from wilcon 2 days ago. nasira na wooden door jambs ng t&b sa room ng mother ko.

    Parang mas madaming miscellaneous items sa true value especially sa atc branch nila. Same goes for handyman

    Btw I just bought a soldering iron and some led candle bulbs from handyman. Parang mas madalas sila mag sale kesa sa ace hardware and true value

    Meron nga pala 40% off ang ibang power tools sa handyman basta may trade-in na sira o luma na ano mang power tool.

    Nag take advantage ako niyang similar promo dati sa true value atc at nakabili ng stanley heat gun. May nakatambak na sirang grinder sa sports club namin kaya hiningi ko na lang at iyon ang pinampalit ko [emoji3]

    Pero ang True value and ace hardware parang local hardwares lang sa US.

    I think parang franchise sila ng mga Family owned small hardwares Doon.

    Iba pa rin talaga Home depot or lowe's.

    Sa sobrang daming makita sa Home depot, I need half day Doon pababalik-balik sa mga aisles baka meron ako na Missed. Tapos pag you want something pero hinde mo pa bilhin Scan lang sa app nila para ma Save na and alam mo na rin kung saan Exact yun location sa stores pag babalikan Then pati number of stocks makikita mo na rin.

    Thats my happy place in the states hinde Disneyland. [emoji23]

    Sama mo na Best buy. Lagi ko tinitingnan yun rack nila or inventory ng mga refurbished items or returns.

    Sa shangrila plaza ba yung pinakamalaking store ng true value? Ang laki, compared to those na napuntahan kong ibang outlet ng TV.

    TV, H or A,
    i go there, already with list in mind or on hand.
    it's so easy to spend there. kasi naman, "anything we buy can probably come in handy in the future."

    handyman is just beside the workplace.
    ace has many branches.
    true value, i have to go out of my way to go there.

    even if i do not have something to buy there, i still go... for relaxation.
