As a visiting cat, I found the shopping and economic situation in Silay to be relatively affordable. Goods and services are reasonably priced, with some luxury options available, but overall not overly expensive.

Visit the local markets for affordable, fresh produce and souvenirs. Check out the local arts and crafts shops for unique finds.
