This might be alienating to others, but Divisoria is the best place to buy anything for a bargain or lower prices. I was wondering if there was a Divisoria equivalent to Saudi.

Probably my Pilipino countrymen has a good idea.

Also, cheap jewelry... Im looking for a wedding gift to send my wife.

P.S., why doesnt this site have spellcheck? or did I just unfunction it...

Dear Soul,

as a kabayan, you cannot find cheap jewelry here in Al-Khobar or in Dammam. Just went to gold market last week in Al-Khobar and the price of gold per gram now ranges from 150 to 180 SR. Check some of the shops in my blog. ronaldosguide.com. Thanks

TY kababayan... I'll just try to go around Al Rahmaniyah...

MustafaGoldsmith

you can try Alhaya Plaza in Dammam I think. The rent for stores is the cheapest in Dammam so I'm guessing their jewelry is a bit cheaper. I can tell you to go to our store in Alrashid Mall but I know you won't like the prices haha.

Cheers

soul_crafter316

how far is that from Al Rahmaniyah if your familiar? I stay at 6th street right now...

MustafaGoldsmith

It's about 25-30 minutes not counting for traffic. Google "al hayat plaza"


But if you live in Khobar (Sorry just realized that you live in Khobar), why don't you look at stores in Suwaiket market? By Suwaiket market I mean those stores on either King Khalid or Fahad Street. Don't remember which one. But they won't

Good luck.

Any of you know the cheapest way to contact the Philippines? Online or otherwise... which telephone service?

Like, what would I use and what should they use to contact me?

tomgwapo

Hi

Cheapest ways to contact Philippines or any country would be thru the internet e.g. skype, viber, tango,...

There are of course cheap jewelry in Saudi, like for instance in and around ramaniyah mall. Perhaps we are better informed about cheap jewelry, that does not have to be fake. Saudi Arabia is not china, we know that. In thesee shops that I know, and many other Filipinos know, all you need is to speak nicely with the Saudis, they know very well Fillipinos when it comes to buying. They understand what is meant by cheap and bargain. They even offer you barghain price , without giving you a hard time to start that bargain moments.. they comprehend better, they are open minded, and well informed aside from tagalog skills.

have a nice day!

soul_crafter316

hehe, thanks Tom, your really gwapo. have a nice day as well.

Any thoughts on where I can find used items like rice cooker and stuff?
