I started a Sari-Sari Store

[roadrash09]

---

I have 8 minutes left or she'll kill me at the store; we just opened a store, she's waiting for her lunchbox.

We started a Sari-Sari Store less than a week ago and we're newbies in the arena.

I'd like to ask for some tips from our trustworthy Istoryans, also for other business-planning youth out there to try it out.


I'll post longer details when I get back. Argh she has a sharply-sharpened pair of fingernails ready for me.


Edit:
Naay unexpected grasya na niabot nako'.

My step-mom has been convincing me to take over her store for years now.
I didn't want to, kay gusto lagi ko magsugod ug akoa.

But due to family problems, she decided to close the store and leave for good.
Bayran pa ang entire merchandise value sa tindahan, but at this point we're still trying to determine (based on inventory list).

Karon, ako (ug akong kumander) ang nagdumala sa tindahan; cluelessly.

So if you guys have tips you might want to share, please I'm just about desperate now.. Hehe.
Bitaw, nag-lisod ko especially duha lang mi. Mura na mi ug minyo' na naay daghan anak.

Well basically one of the first few things I'd like to ask you guys is where to buy cheap stuff. Mangompra mi ug goods, like basic commodities (kape, shampoo, milk, etc.) adto ra sa La Nueva.

Naa moy nahibaw-an na makomprahan nato' na barato? Like, REALLY wholesale ba (not just by packs - La Nueva, but boxes).
Para ninyo, as regular customers, unsa ang most common medicines?
If possible, kindly mention medicines "you know" for these [common] sicknesses:
-Cold
-Allergy
-Cough
-Headache
-Fever
-Dysmenorrhea (naa bay tambal ana'? Sorry, I don't experience such)
-Other common sicknesses
(this is, somewhat, a survey to find out unsa ang pangitaon ninyo immediately when you get sick)

Hehe daghan unta' ko gusto ipangutana kay gamay ra intawn ni na tindahan and we're trying to bring it up within a year..


Thank you Istoryans. More Power.

alcohol or merthiolate are best remedies for sharp-fingernail wounds

what made you choose sari-sari store as a starting business? who convinced you?

good thing you've started it. minimal risk.
better to have one small business than not at all...

@ smurkydad:
Thanks, I think band-aid will do. Haha.
Actually I said it wrong, it's not supposed to be that "I started" the Sari-Sari Store.
The original post has been edited (for your questions as well).

@ emailroy2002:
She's at the store, waiting for me to bring her lunch; at 5 in the afternoon.
And her fingernails are sharp that they're able to pinch through my bones. Hehe.


Hoooooora I shook the English off. Hehe.
Sorry. Piskot mag-lisod na man hinuon ko ug type Cebuano.

Please check my original post, I added more details.

Thank you!

for wholesale goto macro. maka less gyud ka did2.

[elvandesantos]

depende ra gyud bro. naa man gud uban store barato ani nga item pero sa another item mahal. den bali sad sa pikas store... pero so far ako nahibaw-an maau kay ang colonnade. mas daghan sila items gud so di nka mag balhin2x lain2x stores. for short mka menus ka travel or fuel cost.

[8_cRawlin_baby_8]

naa may wholesale area ang colonnade. it's a separate room/office. adto ka derecho sulod og gusto jud ka og bulto.

or derecho'g carbon. naa didto tanan barato pero you need a lot of patience if mosuot kag carbon.

pwede sad mo contact ka sa agent on every product (unilever, magnolia, johnsons, san miguel, coca-cola, procter & gamble, etc...) kana og kahuwat ka's ilang delivery sked nila. they deliver in boxes na.
