KARTer 2nd Gear April 9, 2011 Share April 9, 2011 Although many people go places like Mustafa for cheap prices.... i knew not all things are cheap in such so-called bargain places... last week i bough a small bottle of "Refres" eye lotion from M, it cost me $11.... i thought it should be quite cheap.... on my way home, i dropped by My Village and lo and behold, in a small optial shop there, i found the same thing selling for only $9.50.......... so I bought it (i got dry eyes, so use lots of eye drops)..... then next door another chain drug store.... i curiuos so wandered in and checked the price..... $12!!! ......... simple thing like this eye lotion varies so much in its price!!! hope other bros can share their experience: Household electrical appliances: which place cheap?? BestDenki, Gains, NTUC Superstore, Mustafa, etc etc?? Similarly for other categories of shopping?? Another question: are items in HDB neighbourhood shops cheaper than other places??? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
