Who doesn't like a great bargain?
Yesterday, Christmas and I were out thrift store shopping (we were in search for tokens, we need to find the most practical options) in Dapitan Arcade at the place we seem to find the best deals. Located at the corner of Kanlaon and Dapitan Streets in Sta. Mesa, Quezon City. It's a pretty small place but they have everything. Products are made by locals. Dapitan Arcade has not been known as a top shopping destination. Beautiful jaw-dropping stuffs brimming with everything from quirky antique signs, industrial lighting and furniture, paintings, film reels, beaded jewelry, conch shell jewelry, woven accessories, pottery, handmade dolls, tinkling wind chimes, hand-printed fabric, rattan furniture, hampers, tableware, vintage treasure and more. Everything in the store is really reasonably priced. We felt mixed emotions at that point: excitement for all the possible stuff to buy, confusion because there were so many options, and sadness because we didn’t bring enough money (Remember, we were working on a budget.)
You definitely do not want to leave Dapitan Arcade empty handed.

And if you are looking to do some clothes shopping, there are also a few accessories and Ukay-Ukay in the area. Think Rebecca Bloomwood from Confessions of a Shopaholic.
PS- Sorry for the low quality pictures. I took all the pictures on my cell phone camera and those were stolen shots. I don't want get yelled for taking pictures.
