I entered the floor and was able to find some great items right from the start! I noticed that a lot of women just carried their choices around and waited until the last couple of minutes to start folding and stuffing their bag, but I preferred to do it as I went. I was able to get a technique down – fold the item in half, and then roll it as tight as I could! – and it worked really well. There were so many clothes to choose from, but Clothes Buffet Manila had them sorted into three different sections – Festival Madness, Girl’s Night Out, & Smart Chic – to help you decide where to start. No need to worry about sizes, either, there were multiples of most items from extra-small to extra-large!

I scrambled madly for 15 minutes, grabbing everything that caught my eye! I mostly went for tank tops(small and thin, these take up less room so I can fit more items!), but also grabbed a couple of t-shirts and a pair of cute denim shorts! I was able to fit 12 pieces of clothing into my buffet bag (averaging out to roughly 166php per item).
My race against time, trying to stuff everything in!
I didn’t quite break the record (19 pieces of clothing!), but I was pretty satisfied with my accomplishment, and it was well worth the ticket price! During the last minute, I tried to seal my bag, but the zipper broke. I was worried this would incur a penalty, but luckily there was a very nice staff member who assisted me in manually closing my zipper bag.Â
After I managed to get the bag shut, I queued up for validation, where they check your bag to make sure you were able to properly seal it without any tears, and they also give you a free goodie bag! It contained several items, including a free drink from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, a Chalk magazine, 50% off coupons to Magaul Bird Park in Subic, and other freebies from the Clothes Buffet Manila sponsors!Â
Queued up for validation and my goodie bag!
