What things do you find cheaper in JB compared to Singapore?

So many things! Food is tops. Movies cheaper. Also can get bootleg dvds and blu-rays which is only a few dollars.:biggrin:

Even electrical goods can be cheaper. I found out my LG 17kg washer in JB with extended warranty still cheaper than Courts by $300, not ringgit. I very dui after finding out:mad:. Now if want to buy things usually will ask whether JB cheaper.:biggrin:

Everyone yearns for higher pay, so things won't remain that cheap.

It is just that Singapore got a lot more expensive faster e.g. a 10-year COE that costs about $200k RM. I can buy a few new bread and butter freehold cars in JB.

Electricity and water.

Water:
Can bathe and washed up clean and good while not being stressed up by the water con tax, and then add the gst on this.

Electricity:
Cheaper by half and then somemore in RM.

Samsung handphones product, like Galaxy gear - cheaper by S$100. But colleagues told me is because it is not international warranty.

Car wash at RM8 with vacum thrown in. Where can you find that in Singkie land ?

Medication and things like Physio Gel. I get it at $20 after conversion. It cost me $33 in Singapore.

17kg washer ? Why do you need such a huge washing machine ? You have an extended family in JB or you wash your clothing fortnightly ?

No lah, I bought mine from Courts Singapore and then sent to JB home together with the rest of the barang barang with CHL Movers.

handphone is cheaper in sg. but only if you sign contract. without contract jb is cheaper by a small margin.probably because of gst.
