This Massive Surplus Shop in Mandaluyong Is a Bargain Hunter’s Dream

(SPOT.ph) Shop and save—you may think these two words shouldn’t be uttered in one sentence. But somehow, when you step inside this massive budol store located along the busy Reliance Street in Mandaluyong, you’ll know they fit well together—maybe in an earworm jingle that you’ll sing under your breath as you go through the hallways with tables and shelves filled with usually hefty priced things at discounted prices.

So maybe you really can save while you shop, after all, especially when you’re in the HMR Trading Haus a.k.a the bargain shopper’s wonderland. This shop has been around for a while now, so if you’re still not in on the secret, then here’s what you should know.

Check out the HMR Trading Haus in Pioneer, Mandaluyong:

As an #adulting shopper who wants to get essentials—say, appliances, furniture, and other necessities for your own space—without wanting to break the bank too much, discount-slash-outlet-slash-warehouse stores are lifesavers. And HMR Trading Haus is one of the said destinations where you can get just that and more gems you might end up getting for your space. The best finds at the lowest of prices, they said. It’s a place you’d willingly go to—whether it’s raining cats and dogs or under sweltering heat (the latter the case for this writer right here, and in long sleeves, no less).

They have branches dotted around the Metro, and you could go bargain hunting from one branch to another, but one of the biggest can be found in Mandaluyong.

The big and intimidating building, about three floors high, along Reliance Street speaks for itself, accompanied by a simple yet somehow enticing sign of the place; then of what you can expect inside (Houseware! Kitchenware! Hardware!) plastered on its ground floor’s glass walls. You won’t get a proper glimpse of the inside yet though, which makes you all the more curious to see what the building contains.

Right off the bat, you’ll be hit by trinkets, or in this case, computer monitors and other tech stuff crowding tables left and right inside. Go further and let the red sale signs guide you to an overwhelmingly massive space (especially for first-timers) that contains anything and everything you need—and even those that you don’t—for your own space and other hidden gems.

Think of the closet in Narnia. It’s like a whole world opened up right before your eyes. But there’s no white witch, but rather friendly staff clad in blue polos who will be more than happy to show you anything that you might be looking for.

Be it furniture like sofas, living room or office chairs, recliners, drawers, mirrors; kitchen, small appliances like toasters, air fryers, and essentials like bowls, and even food; big appliances like televisions, dishwashers, and refrigerators—to heck, even apparel and footwear (we spotted a snazzy pair of leather boots) plus some rugs and other home stuff. There’s gym equipment and other outdoor activity gear available for grabs, too.

Again, there are big red, green, and blue signs that will tell you the way. The bold red ones are where the sale items at up to a whopping 70% off are under. There’s a dedicated space for clearance items on the right side of the whole building as well as bargain areas that allows you to, well, spend without breaking the bank too much. The duration of the sale is until the stocks last, so you better hurry up and scour the place (at least to the best of your abilities ASAP).

Green signs are up for new arrivals, while blue just tells you where things are for navigation. There are several cashier counters by the exit where you can ring up your haul when you’re done. 

The HMR Trading Haus is at Pioneer corner Reliance Street, Mandaluyong City. For more information, check out HMR’s website.
