Sari-Sari Stores Invasion

     Commodities, it is the term that describe the needs or the necessities of a particular thing or being, specially for humans. We may differ in some of our needs in life, but what is common to our needs is what we call the 'basic needs'. These basic needs are our primary needs to be able to survive. It comes in three substances, the shelter, the clothes and of course the foods. But not all of us can afford to have it all and to buy wholesale products, specially when it comes to foods, so we need to find retail ones. And in that, sari-sari stores enter the picture.

     Sari-sari store is a neighborhood variety store, which provides some of our commodities. It is a retailing business that gives its consumers cheaper products. Its products are displayed in a metal barred window or in a large screen-covered window in front of the house. Canned goods, instant noodles, cigarettes and candies in recycled jars are some of the often displayed products in sari-sari stores. It is present in almost all neighborhoods and sometimes even in some streets in the Philippines. Sari-sari stores invade us but help us to sustain our needs in life without spending so much money.
