Thank goodness for Savemore! I swear I found myself here every few days during my vacation in the Philippines. We don't have grocery stores in my hometown and have to drive out to Candon to get a decent selection of goods.
Savemore is pretty much your one-stop shop for mostly everything you need. You've got the grocery store downstairs stocked with fresh produce, meat, dairy products, snacks, alcohol, etc. They've got a little bit of everything, but if you want more selection, it's best to hit up the bigger grocery stores in the area. They also have a Western Union located within the store if you need to exchange money or do money transfers, etc. There's also 2 ATM's by the checkout counters if you want to use an ATM card to withdraw from your account.
Upstairs you'll first come upon a "wholesale" type of section on the right. It's pretty much geared towards the restaurant types of businesses with various tableware, disposable utensils, bulk ingredients, & even barstools and chairs. Take a left at the escalator and you'll find clothes, furniture, electronics, imported Asian Items, & your basic home goods to meet any household needs.
Parking is pretty ridiculous here (hence not quite 5*). There's a tiny parking lot off of Liquete street, right in front of the entrance. There's maybe 10 stalls, but you'll have to fight delivery trucks, motorcycles, tricycles, etc. We were pretty lucky almost every dang time we came though and found one empty stall. Thank goodness!
My favorite part about this shop is that there's a Kookee House bake shop in the same building :) read more
