01:02Because of the high price of goods, the family is saddened by Christmas.
01:08It's okay. It's good that we have food.
01:12But we have to buy fruits.
01:15Why?

01:34It's expensive.

01:38If you buy spaghetti first, it will cost you P2,000.

02:02Based on the price guide, the price of ham is from P170 to P928.50,
02:10queso de bola from P210 to P445,
02:15fruit cocktail is more than P61,
02:18cheese is from P56 to P310,
02:22mayonnaise is from P20 to P245 and more.
