Usually, if I need something quick, I go to the nearest shopping are which is a Robinson's. I'm not really inclined towards one. I'm really neutral. I usually go to the one that is most convenient for me. If I'm in the Makati area, I'd go to SM because that's the closest. Most of the time though, I don't go to SM or Robinson's for my shopping needs. I'd usually go to Glorietta or Greenhills if I'm going to go shopping.

In terms of buying groceries, I have noticed that Landmark prices are quite cheaper by 25 centavos compared to that of SM or Robinsons. Or maybe it's just a perception. I work in the Ortigas area, and I find Robinson's customer friendly because there are less people compared to the population in Megamall.

Dong, SM and Robinson's are still under construction in our place and the target date of completion, I guess is by 2010. Both areas are near our home, so I'd probably be mall hopping to four big malls.Have a nice day!

the most convenient mall to go to for me is sm taytay.. it's so close to our place and i can either ride a jeepney or bring a car.. only problem is sm taytay is so small and at times not complete, especially if you need to buy items.. in that case, sm megamall is the next best place.. i can ride the fx taxi back & forth.. but if i have to bring a car, i prefer robinsons galeria because usually there are less people there..

Well... here in my area... that is the trend... there are now two SM malls and two Robinson's malls... and an Ayala mall is also currently being constructed... and i think it will be ready by December... If i want to have just a quiet stroll... then i go to Robinson's because for sure it won't be packed with too much people... but if i want more space to walk around and more things to see... then i go to SM...

Yes they are like mushrooms sprouting here and there. Yes, there is competition between Robinsons and SM. As a shopper, I prefer niether Robinsons or SM because I am more at home with The Landmark in Makati. Their prices are even more affordable than that of SM or Robinsons. I've noticed that prices at SM are no longer that affordable like before. Maybe because Henry Sy had to compensate all his expenses for all the renovations and new constructions done.

I prefer to have a shopping experience at SM Malls. I like their attractions, their stores and their displays. At SM Malls you can also find for the best buys, good and very affordable promos that can catch each of the shoppers attention this includes freebies and discounts to selected items. SM Malls also offers SALE days which buyers can buy sale items of different brands.

We usually shop at SM malls, its near our place. but I heard Robinsons mall will be built nearer our place. probably, robinsons will be more accessible so most of the time will buy there. but my office is near robinsons, and my husbands work is located at SM. hahaha. But we have advantage card so we do prefer sm so we will earn points.
