32 of The Most Value-For-Money Things That You Can Get From The Value Dollar Store
Being Singaporeans, it is in our blood to never settle for anything that’s too expensive, let alone allow ourselves to be ripped off. We love a good deal and the less we have to spend, the better. So, it is no surprise that the value dollar store is one of our most frequented places. They permanently have signs plastered all over the store saying “FIRE SALE”, so you know they’re serious about selling their stuff cheap.
This magical place is always stocked up head to toe with a plethora of snacks, food and household items going at a fraction of the price one would pay at a regular supermarket. If you haven’t been to one, here is our list of some of the best things that you can buy at your local value store.
