Our time is indeed changed.  What used to be the valuable P10 that could buy a basis commodity years ago is a mere coin, loose change.  Indeed, tough times call for some belt-tightening.  For practical consumers, there are creative ways to stretch that P10 coin.  Here are some ways to beat the peso crunch:

*  Take public transport.  Your P10 can get you to a particular destination.  Not enough, you say?  Pay the distance good for P10 and walk the rest of the way.  Great exercise, too.

*  Create romance worth P10.  Yes, you can!  share a bottle of soda.  You’ll treasure a priceless moment with your significant other.

*  Eat street food.  A fun way to spend your P10 is yummy fish balls.

*  Bite your way to good health.  An apple a day keep the doctor away.  A nice crisp, juice apple only cost P10.

*  Try your hand at the game arcade.  Play those zapping machines for a chance to take home a cuddly stuffed toy.  Your P10 get you three chances.

*  Rummage through a garage sale.  You’ll never believe the treasures your can find and buy with that P10-from accessories to toys, trinkets, and books, too.

*  Buy some candies and share them with your best friend.  Memories are sweet moments, no matter the cost.
