In Singapore, there is an event known as The Great Singapore Sale (GSS). If you intend to visit Singapore, you should coincide your visit with GSS. GSS is held in the mid year and lasts for a month. It is an annual event that shopaholics should not miss. During GSS, there will be great discounts everywhere. Some of the discounts can get up to 75% or more. During this period, almost all major shopping centres like Takashimaya and Paragon will be offering discounts to consumers. Even major boutiques will also bring down their prices. Therefore, you do not even need to bargain to get good stuffs.
