Get the Philippine grocery listLast updated: October 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.

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actually paid for each item at each store, so after a few trips you have a personal version of this page that's never out of date.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.
