From a visiting cat's perspective, Arayat is quite affordable. Foods, drinks, and public transportation are cheap. However, accommodation can be a bit costly compared to other neighboring towns.

For shopping, head to the public market for great deals on fresh produce and local delicacies. Bargain at the street markets for souvenirs and clothing. Consider staying in lodgings outside of the town proper to save on accommodation costs.
