It’s so easy to feel the pressure the second September arrives. Jose Mari Chan is on repeat in every mall, holiday decors are already up, and it suddenly hits us—we’re down to the final stretch of the year. Naturally, in true Pinoy fashion, the shopping scramble starts now so we can snag the biggest discounts way before the chaotic December rush.
But gone are the days when an influencer, a single post, or even a friend could instantly budol us into hitting "Check Out." Today, many people are doing actual research—digging through reviews, comparing carts, waiting on vouchers, and budgeting just to make sure we squeeze every single peso for all it’s worth. Most importantly, we want 100% genuine products and no compromises on quality.
That’s exactly why Lazada’s 9.9 Mega Brand Sale is the perfect time to kick off your Christmas list early.
If you are ready to fill your 9.9 cart, or are holding out for a specific item to drop its price, here are 10 practical tips to maximize your savings:
1. Let LazzieChat do the heavy lifting
Artificial intelligence is taking over everywhere—including your favorite shopping app. If scrolling through thousands of options feels overwhelming, Lazada’s AI-powered LazzieChat is here to save the day as your personal shopping assistant. It serves up tailored product picks, recommends trustworthy brands, and compares items in seconds so you don’t have to waste time overthinking.
2. Stack exclusive 9.9 vouchers and brand deals
During the 9.9 Mega Brand Sale, you’re not just getting items dropped by up to 90% off—you can stack store discounts with platform vouchers offering up to P2,000 off. Throw in free shipping, and suddenly that final cart total drops way lower than you expected.
Pro-tip: Stack your seller voucher, platform promo code, and bank discount all in one go at checkout.
3. Test products digitally before buying
The hardest part of shopping online is worrying whether a product will actually look good on you once it arrives at your doorstep. Lazada completely eliminates that checkout anxiety using smart virtual tools on LazMall. You can tap into the Lazada Beauty Filter to see how different lipstick shades and foundation tones look on your actual face before buying.
You can also use the LazMall Try & Buy feature to get authentic, travel-sized versions at a way lower price point. That way, you get to test out the product in real life first and guarantee it’s a perfect fit before adding the full-sized item to your cart.
4. Keep an eye out for Flash Deals
Think your checkout reflexes are fast enough? Flash sales feature some of the steepest price drops of the entire event, but they disappear in a snap. Make it a habit to refresh the Flash Sale tab throughout the day so you can snatch up those blink-and-you'll-miss-it deals on top items before everyone else does.
5. Build your wishlist early
If your cart is already full of past impulse picks, it’s time to do a quick cleanup. Tap the heart icon on your favorite items before Sept. 9 to pin them straight to your wishlist. That way, you can easily track sudden price drops and check out in seconds the moment the sale goes live.
6. Collect daily coins
Never underestimate the power of daily app check-ins. Logging into the Lazada app every day lets you stack up LazCoins, which automatically convert into extra discounts when you checkout.
7. Claim store-specific vouchers
On top of Lazada-wide discounts, check individual shop pages—especially on LazMall. Sellers frequently offer vouchers that can be stacked with platform discounts for double savings.
8. Play LazGames for extra perks
If you love casual mobile games, you’ll definitely want to check out LazGames right inside the app. Playing fun in-app minigames lets you earn extra LazCoins and score exclusive discount vouchers that drop your final cart total even lower.
9. Tune into Lazada Livestreams
Don't sleep on LazLive during the sale! Brands and your favorite influencers host livestreams all throughout 9.9, giving you a real-time look at product demos and answering your burning questions on the spot. Sometimes they even drop exclusive voucher codes during the broadcast that only viewers can claim
10. Bulk buy using Bundle&SAVE
Whenever you’re buying multiple household essentials or getting up gifts for the whole crew, make sure to hit Bundle&SAVE. Buying in bulk or grouping items together drops the per-unit price lower and unlocks extra package discounts.
At the end of the day, smart holiday shopping isn’t about settling for cheap items—it’s about shopping strategically so you can give the absolute best to your loved ones without stress.
We Pinoys love making Christmas special, and getting an early start means more thoughtful gifts and bigger savings for the family handaan. So go ahead, open your Lazada app today and get those carts ready before midnight on Sept. 9.
