What are the cheap things to buy in Singapore?

I think it’s not a matter of what to buy but where to buy cheap things in Singapore. The country is known to be one of the costliest places to live in so most things are more expensive compared to neighboring countries like Thailand and Vietnam. However, if you know where to shop, you might find a good bargain in one of the budget-friendly shopping places in Singapore. Below is a list of cheap things to buy in Singapore and where to buy them.

Assorted goods @ Mustafa Centre

Mustafa Centre is the only 24-hour shopping centre in Singapore. Here, you can buy most items at a lower price. This 6-level shopper’s paradise offers a wide variety of goods such as jewellery, gold and silver, consumer electronics, clothes, shoes, watches, cosmetics, perfumes, toiletries, medicinal products, household items, stationery, furniture, hardware, books, groceries, confectioneries, and souvenir items. It does get crowded especially on weekends so watch your belongings when you shop.

Perfumes @ Lucky Plaza

Lucky Plaza is the most budget-friendly shopping place along Orchard Road, Singapore’s trendiest shopping district.
