looks like tax rate in new jersey is 7%, but i usually shop in boston where the sales tax is lower (clothes and food no tax for massachusetts except if clothing >USD175, around 5%) ... next door new hampshire is even better, pretty much no sales tax so my friends shop at ikea at NH and truck it home to boston ...

i oredi stopped shopping for outdoor gear etc in singapore many many years ago liow... just give u an idea, my salomon hiking boots cost me USD35 when the exact same one costs >S$300 here ... just sayin'....

Totally agree that things in SG is getting so much more expensive compared to even places like London partly due to our strong currency.

Ever since i started traveling to europe and usa frequently, the only shop i go to most in sg to buy things will be ntuc and its mostly to buy food stuff.

even necessities like shampoo, toothbrush etc i try to buy from europe or usa,

firstly prices wise they are generally cheaper and when on sale, they are very much cheaper. it is quite common to see things in supermarket going for half price.

secondly a lot of these products are produced locally or in neighbouring countries whereas those sold sg are produced in asean, which might not be lousier. i just feel the QC in EU or USA might be slightly stricter although nowadays EU also got horse meat posing as beef.

anyway lets continue to share our overseas buying sprees and get the best deals whenever we can.

i am expecting a baby in aug so nowadays most of my shoppings are for baby products. anyone got any lobangs to share?

here's what i got from london.

Philips AVENT SCF870/21 Combined Baby Food Steamer and Blender £51.99

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Complete Starter Kit £64.99

Tommee Tippee Sangenic Nappy Disposal Starter Pack £24.99

anyone using Miele's vacuum cleaner? thinking of getting one from germany, it seems a lot cheaper than in SG. so wondering if its worth it, if not i will stick to my tried and tested Henry or Hetty.

not sure if u need clothes for baby - since u go to US, suggest you go to the GAP store and juz go to the discount racks and pick up all those on discount...buy a big spread of ages especially for the under 3 year old period cos they outgrow very fast...my friend's policy is not to buy anything >USD1.99 this friend of mine is a super shopper - her advice is that every store manager has the authority to put different stuff on sale so visit every store you see to make sure you get the best deals ...

however, one item she got here instead of in the US is this, apparently very ex in US:

Pigeon Nose Cleaner

the other thing u may want to consider getting in US are the various bottles - feeding etc cos i always find that if they label something BPA free there, it will be really BPA free ... here, sometimes i'm just not sure unless i buy the branded (aka expensive) ones

[kirovski 2]

maybe because pigeon stuff not so popular in USA.

anyway first time i see this nose cleaner, haha.
