Half-kilogram of clams (halaan) costs twenty-five pesos. This shellfish will be boiled to provide broth to mung bean noodles, spiced with ginger.

Meanwhile, half-kilogram of bigger clam species (locally known as lukan) will be grilled. For only fifty pesos (excluding the cost of butter and coal briquettes), delectable treats will regale my tongue.

The total price tag is only 125 pesos. Bring that amount to the supermarket, and what will you get?
It's really cheaper in the market compared to the supermarket plus since its so convenient in the supermarket, you end up buying other items you don't intend to buy.

Shopping in the market will teach you a lot of stuff compared when you shop in supermarkets. You learn how to haggle thus making you save moolahs. Saka iba kasi yung fulfillment ng nakapamalengke ka di ba. Haha!
