ngunadi 2 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 How about IKEA? quiet nice and not that expensive... IKEA utensils are relatively "expensive" and doesn't give a nice feeling to hold. Rather invest on a good ones that can last for years. Though currently we are surviving with $12++ for 1 set, bought from carrefour. Waiting to buy good ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoyg 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) I think I happens to chance upon Metro at City Square Mall about 2 months ago. They are selling the entire set of kitchen utensils originally S$199/-. But now S$99/-. There are at least 50 - 60 pcs in a set. So I was thinking if i buy loose items, things might add up to be even more. Anyway suggestions bros? Oh ya, perhaps many of Renotalk's long-time followers might have known this, but would like to share with you guys again. Me and my wife have been shopping around for months just trying to get a Slumberland mattress at a cheaper price for that specific model which cost at least S$1300 for a Queen. Instead of buying it locally, I bought it in JB for only RM1930 (S$840/-) inclusive of GST and Levy. I must say it is a good deal since ALL Slumberland mattress are manufactured and imported from KL. The name of the model might differ from country to country. But what is more important is that the specs are the same. Happy saving guys!
