“Sibuyas as payment.”
A local discount store in Quezon City will be accepting onions as payment for its items.
“We are accepting cash, coins, and onions as payment for our selected items,” the discount store wrote on its Facebook page.
The Japanese discount store said its Panay Avenue branch will accept onions as payment in exchange for customers’ chosen products on Saturday, Feb. 4.
“Every customer has a limit of 3 item purchases only,” it added.
Onions collected as payment will be used in its community pantry, according to the store.
The store clarified that one onion would amount to one item.
The price of onions reached as high as P800 per kilogram last December as supplies dwindled, according to the Department of Agriculture. –ag
