DVD's are 8 but I pay friend 10, that way he makes some money/gets business.
I also then take into account his time & petrol.
So no..not probably cheaper but I don't have to go shop to shop in Kuta & he gets some business as well.
Clothes cheaper..yes.
Not the same as cheap market clothes & not as dear as the boutiques in Kuta/Legian
Problem...sometimes sizes are smaller, other times not.
Some styles totally daggy or rank but if you hunt through you can be lucky.
We (daughter & myself)always manage to find something in Ramayana & Matahari(either of the stores)eg trendy skirts/pants, tops, evening wear.
