The series of articles are about different prices in Taiwan and Manila.
All think prices of Manila, Philippines are lower than those of Taiwan. However, we found lots of exceptions.
First, it is copy papers (Printer Paper, Computer Paper, and Copier Paper.)
In Taiwan, we usually use only one specification of copy papers. It is A4 (210X297mm.)
In Philippines, there are three specifications of copy papers: NA4 (Letter), A4, and Legal. NA4 is shorter than A4. Legal size is longer than A4.
I don’t know why a package paper of 500 sheets in Manila is more expensive than one in Taiwan.
Double A 80 GSM. 500 Sheets
In Manila: 230~250Piso, about 161~175NTD.
In Taiwan: 125~139Piso, about 89~99NTD.
It is a big different price.
We knew it, so this time we move one box of A4 from COSTCO in Taiwan to home in Manila.
這系列的文章是記錄台灣和馬尼拉物價的差異。
一般而言我們都會認為菲律賓馬尼拉的物價比較低，但說實在的，在我們住了數個月後我們發現有不少的例外。
有很多我們日常生活所用的用品，在台灣購買反而會便宜很多。
今天就從日常影印紙開始第一例。
在台灣我們常用/家庭用的影印紙只有一種規格，就是A4尺寸。
但在菲律賓販售的則有三種: NA4(Letter),A4,及Legal。NA4比A4短，Legal比A4長。
不知道是什麼原因，菲律賓販售的500張包裝紙比台灣同樣包裝規格的還要貴。
菲律賓Double A 80磅500張A4 售價約230~250披索,折合台幣約161~175元。
而台灣Double A 80磅500張A4 售價是89~99元不等，折合為125~139披索。
價差還真大。
所以這次回台灣，馬上去COSTCO搬了一箱A4紙回來菲律賓。
