Living in Singapore

I experienced the excitement in JB before. I like it …just the jam. Hopefully it gets better soon.

I dread on clearing the customs.

We too. Hence must choose the right time to go.

But it's worth it and enable us to self-care (massage and eat) Quite a number of my younger team members (with kids entering primary school) start to appreciate it alot more when they have more kids so they end up stocking up on diapers as well. Looking at the Singapore prices sometimes make me :roll:

hopefully with the RTS, clearing the customs will become a breeze and hence can entice more locals to go there for shopping.

Personally, going to johor actually brings us alot of enjoyment. Don't recall that we used to be such regular before covid. We usually stock up on household, gardening, medication, medical supplies, massage, etc... whenever we are there.

Medical supplies, like most other things not regulated like SG, so cheaper. Other things like milo, chocolates or anything butter related shld avoid as quality of ingredients different. We don’t want to get our blood vessels clogged with palm.

maybe better to buy non-food items like toilet paper, shampoo, detergent etc
If buy food stuff, clearing the custom can be an issue.

Indeed, savings on households and other M’sian origin products can be hefty. I love the Massage there too. But I’m quite selective of food but I fight my battles. S’times no choice just tahan the msg hit. I try not to get any bakery stuff as they don’t taste of butter, but DH & MIL loves Lavendar. I try to bake for them as much as possible to stave their M’sian bakery craves. Not healthy to hv high margarine or other unknown replacements. Afterall, M’sians are similarly suffering fr this worldwide inflation.

For young family, it’s definitely going to help alot for baby stuff or children’s stationery & attires.

I think this will be the game changer. Only, we don’t know how costly the fare will be.

Those on public tpt will faint at CIQ, those driving in will be baked at the causeway jam, as more S’poreans find it cheap to shop & eat across, adding to the Q.

I bought 10 packs of Sofy brand sanitary pads at $2 each while in Malaysia. NTUC selling $4.50 per pack.

Shampoo, Shower foam and tooth paste etc actually can get from Venus Beauty. Toa Payoh Central outlet accepts CDC vouchers!

Just came back from buying things at Venus at Clementi - spent $30 of my CDC vouchers on pads, toothpaste, shampoo etc. I guess as long as they are in an HDB shop space (as opposed to shopping malls), they can register to accept CDC vouchers.

Also replaced my electric kettle which malfunctioned yesterday - but that was inside a mall.

I did not verify yet, but I suspect the Bata outlets at TPY and Clementi hdb could also accept the cdc vouchers. Useful if fellow parents need to buy replacement school shoes.
