Enjoy the weekend while shopping in the comfort of your own home.

The weekend before Holy Week is usually a time when shoppers flood malls and supermarkets. Filipinos are either stocking up or preparing for a trip.

However, since we are all still under lockdown, shopping is confined in our homes using our computers and smartphones to purchase essential items. This weekend, get ready for sales, shop using personal shoppers, and even do your grocery shopping at home.

BEST TIME TO SHOP

E-commerce platform, Lazada, is holding its 9th Birthday Sale tomorrow, March 27. The shopping website carries several brands and will offer deals up to 90 percent discount.
