Typical supermarket and palengke prices for rice, eggs, meat, vegetables, and pantry staples in the Philippines — updated for June 2026, with notes on which stores run cheapest per category.
Key Takeaways
• Typical June 2026 price ranges for 30 everyday grocery items, supermarket and palengke.
• Staples are cheapest at Puregold and on house brands; fresh goods are cheapest at the wet market.
• Use these as benchmarks, then track your own branch prices — local variance is bigger than any published list.
Last updated: June 2026. All prices are typical ranges for Metro Manila and major urban areas, gathered from supermarket shelf prices and wet market canvassing. Provincial prices often run lower on fresh goods and slightly higher on packaged brands. Treat these as benchmarks, not guarantees — promo cycles and branch location move prices week to week.
If you searched for a "Puregold price list" or "SM price list," note that the chains don't publish official lists — prices differ by branch. What follows is the realistic range you should expect to pay, plus which store type usually wins each category.

| Tasty loaf bread | ₱58–₱75 | ₱50–₱65 (bakery) |
| Pandesal, per piece | ₱4–₱6 (packaged) | ₱3–₱5 (bakery) |

Canned and Instant
| Item | Supermarket | Sari-sari |
|---|---|---|
| Sardines, 155g can (555/Ligo) | ₱22–₱30 | ₱25–₱33 |

| Lakatan bananas, per kg | ₱75–₱100 | ₱65–₱90 |
| Calamansi, per kg | ₱60–₱110 | ₱50–₱95 |
Vegetable prices swing with weather and season more than any other category. After a typhoon, expect leafy greens to spike 30–50% for two to three weeks.
How to Use This List
- Benchmark, don't memorize. If your usual store charges near the top of a range — or above it — that item is your switching candidate.
- Split your shop. Staples at the cheapest dry-goods store (usually Puregold or house brands at SM/Save More), fresh goods at the palengke. Families running this split typically land at ₱5,000–₱7,800/month for a family of four.
- Track your own 10–15 repeat items. Your real price list — your items, your branches — beats any published list, including this one.
That last step is what GroceryBudget automates. Its price memory records what you actually paid for each item at each store, so after a few trips you have a personal version of this page that's never out of date. The app supports ₱, works offline, and is free to start with no account required.
