Pea takes viewers on a Sunday shopping trip to her local discount clothing stores in Dumaguete to demonstrate how far five U.S. dollars goes in the Philippines. She buys multiple dresses, tops, and skirts — all from recognizable brands — for between two and five dollars each, then models every outfit at home and gives styling suggestions for each piece.
Pea frames this as a "day in my life" follow-up to a previous laundry day video, but with a twist: every item she buys must be under $5 USD
- She also hides clues to a mystery phrase in the video — the first viewer to figure it out wins two outfits shipped anywhere in the Philippines
First store: Shane's Collection, her go-to discount shop that she visits about twice a month
- The store is running 50% off all items on this visit
- Carries tops, bottoms, dresses, and even swimwear, including recognizable brands like Forever 21, Mango, H&M, Cotton On, and Denim Company
- Pea finds branded items mixed in with generic stock — she says you have to "dig for the hidden gems" because the good stuff is buried
- She holds up a dress she calls "hookerish" and laughs about it, tries on items against herself, and rejects several for being too big (she's a UK size 6)
- A dress originally 300 pesos is marked down to 150 pesos (about $3 USD)
- Pea contrasts these prices with mall shopping, where a single dress runs $15–$20+ depending on the brand
- Her friend/companion Lucy prefers shorts and t-shirts over dresses
Pea's note on swimwear: she doesn't buy used swimwear from discount shops for hygiene reasons and instead buys new swimwear from Shopee for $2–$10
- She finds Western swimwear prices absurd given how little fabric is involved
Second store: an unnamed shop with no signage
- Has New Balance shoes for 600 pesos (~$12, over budget) and various flip-flops
- Pea tries on several pairs of sandals but most are too small — she jokes about having "ginormous" feet
- She finds a green pair she likes for 380 pesos (~$7) but it's also over budget and too small
Modeling segment at home (she notes she wasn't wearing a bra at the stores so had to wait to try on thinner items):
Dress 1: Mango brand, $2 USD — colorful neon pink and blue, versatile for beach/work/date night/Netflix and chill depending on accessories
Dress 2: Avocado brand, $2 USD — long and flowy, perfect for evening beach walks; can be worn as a tube dress by tucking the straps; "good news for the ladies — you don't have to wear knickers"
Dress 3: Senior brand, $4.50 — colorful, suitable for work or talking-head videos
Dress 4: Party dress, $4.75 — she admits she hasn't been to a party in about three years but says it's worth the price
Outfit 5: Oliviations top + H&M skirt combo — open-back, airy, good for dancing
Dress 6: Coffee and Covet beach dress, $4.50 — tic-tac-toe pattern she jokes you could play if you got bored on the beach
Pea's advice to viewers: next time you want to treat your Filipina to a shopping day, just hand her a few bucks and drop her at a local discount store — "she'll be in heaven and you'll get a few hours of peace and quiet"
