Little_prince Supersonic June 3, 2016 Share June 3, 2016 (edited) hi guys Market downturn. cost of living is going up. every dollar saved is a dollar earned. lol found a shop that sells a lot of stuff rather cheaply. everything is $1. even cheaper that the usual value dollar shop. Sedikit-sedikit lama-lama jadi bukit compared to NTUC or redmart really much cheaper. e.g coke per bottle is $1 vs $2.0 in RedMArt Tiger balm is $1 vs $3.50 in NTUC Digestive biscuit is $1 vs $2.95 in Red mart hopefully it will help some bros here. Address is in basement #B1-13 of JCube. good for those bros staying in the west. they also have another normal value dollar got more stuff. but not as worth as this one. cheers Edited June 3, 2016 by Little_prince ↡ Advertisement 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged June 3, 2016 Share June 3, 2016 actually such shops are cheaper because of parallel import. for example, I saw the coke 500ml pet bottle packaging going for 40cents per bottle or $1 for 3 bottles at the same chain at another venue. the packaging on the bottle shows RM1 and scrutinising the label confirms it was produced in Malaysia. now we know RM1 is S$0.33 and that's the reason for them being cheap. but seriously I don't mind it being from Malaysia, Indonesia or Vietnam even. coke should be the same formula in whichever country of production. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator June 3, 2016 Share June 3, 2016 For toiletries, Swanston at People's Park Complex Level 2 sells at good prices. Think their toiletries imported from Vietnam though. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurty Supercharged June 3, 2016 Share June 3, 2016 yeah, things are cheaper as compared but for oral consumption, better to check on their expiry date. My dad love to go such shops and stock his supplies.. but end up all in bin.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But got to watch out for the expiry dates. Sometimes very close to expiry or expired already. I always go there to buy snacks and drinks whenever I host a party.

Jman888 Moderator June 3, 2016 Share June 3, 2016 compared to NTUC or redmart really much cheaper. e.g coke per bottle is $1 vs $2.0 in RedMArt Tiger balm is $1 vs $3.50 in NTUC Digestive biscuit is $1 vs $2.95 in Red mart Redmart was never meant to be cheap and NTUC is hardly low price, so cannot compare with them. I was told that the products in these shops are near expiry and mostly parallel imported. actually such shops are cheaper because of parallel import. for example, I saw the coke 500ml pet bottle packaging going for 40cents per bottle or $1 for 3 bottles at the same chain at another venue. the packaging on the bottle shows RM1 and scrutinising the label confirms it was produced in Malaysia. now we know RM1 is S$0.33 and that's the reason for them being cheap. but seriously I don't mind it being from Malaysia, Indonesia or Vietnam even. coke should be the same formula in whichever country of production. but not the bodycare or skincare products, i bought the facial wash in batam for 1/3 of the price, can feel the ingredient used is different, so those with sensitive skin is taking a risk. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmart was never meant to be cheap and NTUC is hardly low price, so cannot compare with them. I was told that the products in these shops are near expiry and mostly parallel imported. but not the bodycare or skincare products, i bought the facial wash in batam for 1/3 of the price, can feel the ingredient used is different, so those with sensitive skin is taking a risk. you bought the batam version or you bought from batam? anyhow, I didn't attest all are the same. in fact, few years back I already conducted the exercise and decided that milk powder sold in Malaysia is different from that sold in Singapore. I will say I don't mind getting my coke there and maybe certain things but definitely won't get everything there just because it is cheaper. I always get the mamee snack there also. because mamee originates from Malaysia anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xers007 Supercharged June 3, 2016 Share June 3, 2016 (edited) Food product produced in different country really have different taste and quality. Like the cadbury fingers i bought in the ABC store at $2+ that is made in UK is much nicer than those made in indonesia selling $3+ at NTUC Edited June 3, 2016 by Xers007 ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
