WEEKEND shopping for Mrs Jade Tan started on Friday last week.
That was when this year's Great Singapore Sale (GSS) got going - it will roll on till July 26 - and she has already spent $194.40 so far.

'It's wise to come on the first two days; that's when you can get the good bargains,' said Mrs Tan, a secretary in her late 40s, of her forays to malls in Orchard Road.

Among her shopping steals was an Esprit bag that was originally priced at $129.90. She paid just $19.90.

Like her, many other shoppers are also in a mood to snare bargains, going by what The Sunday Times spotted on Saturday.

All seven malls visited - Suntec City, VivoCity, Far East Plaza, Ngee Ann City, Marina Square, AMK Hub and Junction 8 - were packed.

At Takashimaya, for instance, big crowds milled at the sections offering apparel and bags.

Children's toys were also popular buys while designer labels such as Salvatore Ferragamo and Louis Vuitton had their share of customers.

GSS (crowds in confined places) + H1N1 Virus = huge profits for drug companies/doctors/hospitals/credit card issuers/banks(from both retail/medical sectors).

If the govt has any care for the people,the GSS should be postponed until the H1N1 situation improves.
Do you see people wearing masks like in other countries?

I.

How the Fxxx did that count as significant spending in GSS. $194.40 is negligible. Looks like the best the ST can find is this amount, which speaks much for the GSS.

It's great to see Singapore doing so well despite the fact that the world is in a severe recession.

My heartfelt thanks go out to the PAP for their decisive leadership. It certainly has helped keep consumer confidence high and enabled the great singapore sale to start off on a really high note.
