By Greg Tataro Jr.
TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur, Nov. 27 (PIA) – The
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) here has made public the average prices
of basic necessities, prime commodities, construction supplies, and “Noche
Buena” products in Tandag City for November 2015.
Romel Oribe, DTI provincial director, said it was
“part of DTI’s mandate to protect and promote responsible consumerism.”
Through the trade and industry division (TID), the
director came out with the lists of virtually all commodities being monitored, specifying
therein the “Size” and the corresponding “Average Price This Month.”
Media was tapped with the understanding that they
“can be of assistance in disseminating this information to the general public.”
Meanwhile, the same office had likewise furnished
media a copy of “information materials which can be of helpful tips to
responsible consumers.” Noticeably, these tips had something to do with
shopping.
“Exposed to a variety of goods in the market and
bombarded by an overdose of advertisements, the poor consumer can easily get
confused,” Oribe observed.
“Consumers must be equipped with shopping skills
and should exercise vigilance, whether buying in a supermarket or in other
types of stores, if he or she wants to save precious money, time and energy,”
he advised.
To save time in locating products, familiarize
yourself with the arrangements of stocks in the stores where you frequently do
your shopping; To avoid missing special, genuine sales, shop systematically up
one aisle and down the other; Keep a sharp eye for special price reductions of
products which can be reserved for future use; and Be alert for low-budget,
economical but nutritious recipes and other consumer product information. Go for quality, not for quantity were only
some of the top tips, a dozen of them, that the DTI chief had shared. (NGBT/Radyo
