My FAVE Shopping Store

Anyone who knows me well, will attest that I like bargain shopping. So ladies, here are my favorite shops (abroad and local) where you can get great deals.

1. OLINAS (Tokyo)- This is easy to find. After you visit the Kinshicho park, just cross the street and you're in shopping heaven. Rumor has it that the owner is some mafia guy and that the merchandise they sell are actually stolen goods. Who cares? The point is this place is cheap. You need at least half a day to scour this store.

2. H&M (Orchard Singapore) - I loooooovvvveee this store. My shopping philosophy is shell out money for the classic stuff but go crazy over the cheap, current stuff. And I go crazy over H&M. They have knock-offs of the designer stuff for quarter of the price. Karl Lagerfeld did a line for them. And now, Madonna is doing the same thing. I love their S$ 10.99 three-in-one accessories.

3. AEON (Takaoka) - This store has carefully chosen stuff, very fresh and current. The prices are not bad either.

4. 0101(Yurakuchou) - 0101, to me, is so familiar. It is where I go to replenish my undergarments, and i love their tanks, and of course their beauty stuff (Lemon drops cologne, face towels, towelette make-up removers).

5. APITA (Toyama)- Brit fashion at its best and cheapest. I come here to buy not boring stuff. I always go home happy. My husband's fave store for accessories, belts, hats etc.

6. Ito Yokado Mall (Tokyo) - I go to Ito Yokado for clothes. Reasonably priced, well-made, nice fabric, and up-to-date styles. Their end of season sales are fabulous.

7. BUGIS (Singapore) - The ever dependable store. Its like Philippines very own DIVISORIA...
You can find lots of bargain stuffs there.... For xmas gifts, bday gifts, those cheap bags, watches... and alot of other stalls along the road...

8. SM DEPARTMENT STORE - I like that I can find exactly what I need in Shoemart (this was how it was called long ago). From bobby pins to silicon free bras. I used to go to Divisoria to get my plastic bins, but now I go to SM. It's airconditioned, equipped with helpful salespeople and the price is not too far off. Check out the home section. Pretty exciting, with rows and rows of plastic containers, and kitchen supplies!

9. KAHMA - Don't ask me, but I love hardware stores. I find all sorts of stuff (some I need and most, I don't). Recently, I purchased a jigsaw. And pieces of wood, so I can try my new saw. I love home stores.

10. DIVISORIA - Not only 168, but also Divimall and stores along the streets. 168 is for everything cheap. They make great gifts! I also go to the curtain store at the annex. And have all those shoes, bags at a very cheap price..
