Lala81 Hypersonic October 7, 2016 Share October 7, 2016 (edited) the detergent ? I have jumped ship from Persil to Spin. When NTUC got sale for Spin its < $10 for 5kg. it's about a 2 dollar difference when on promotion. so i don't find the cost difference very significant. I use both. I use dove as well, but i think even these warehouse sale hard to beat the PI ones available at the toiletries shops. i used to get my t-shirts from Song & Song, in particular, Toa Payoh outlet. too bad nowadays the stuff they bring in so so nia. I find Uniglo clothing pretty light too ... good for hot days. seems like the Uniglo at Chinatown Point has more sale stuff, though sizes limited by then. so i go Uniglo and Swanston and Ocean when in Chinatown area. Uniqlo has short sleeved work shirts as well, but only in Japan from what I'm aware. I bought 3 from tokyo in 2010. Still using them now. I wear them on some days cos the clinic central airconditioning only switches on later Edited October 7, 2016 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvobrick Supersonic October 7, 2016 Share October 7, 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. A lot of these shops have Radha as the importer.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Turbocharged October 7, 2016 Share October 7, 2016 some local value shops sells ligo canned sardines and are produced in Philippines and labeled "not for export".. can buy? if it is based on what i was told when i holidayed in NZ, the kiwi fruits 'not for export' are supposed to be a little inferior... for local consumption only. better ones are always exported out. but ya.. should still be edible. local flavor mah..

Philippines population keeps growing (and Singapore fertility is dropping), these "not for export" food stuff must be very good for certain human activities.... Definitely something good they want to keep away from us! Must Buy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been there myself, just what my wife and my MIL tells me. ya...such a nice new small heartland mall, becomes like punggol plaza (many hardware stalls selling cheap stuff) like hougang green mall (many maid agencies)... and like far east plaza (several hair salons) all bundle in one still several empty shop spaces (good luck) SS is nice though..looking like cold storage style I had lunch at Marsiling on Sat morning so decided to buy stuff from the ABC Trading there since got "Closing Down Sale". btw, how you find Lifebuoy compared to Dettol ? Last time I used Lifebuoy find it not as strong as Dettol.

Beehive3783 Turbocharged October 10, 2016 Share October 10, 2016 Junction 9 is full of crappy shops. Maid agencies especially (at least 5!!!). The only saviours are Sheng Siong, Kim Sang and a handful of other shops. The rest not worth even walking past. i had cherries when i was in queenstown. Tasted great.
