In the Philippines, you can find tons of "Sari-sari" stores everywhere. Oftentimes, their distances will not be too far from each other. In that way, it makes everything convenient for people who needs to buy necessities for a cheap price.
When I was a kid, I used to buy candies and other chips for a peso and until now manufacturers still thinks on how they can keep their price low however the quality and the quanties have changed because of the set back of the economy. I could buy before the Filipino brand of chocolate, "Hany" for a peso and have this much:
But now, they lessen the quantity and make it shorter and produced a bigger shape that would cost 2.50 pesos. Like this:
Anyway, being able to taste hany to many Filipinos can give such nostalgia and happiness. One day, I might come to buy a Hany to any Lolos and Lolas at the Sari-sari store with their cat at the porch and for awhile go back to my childhood.
