What can you get for SGD 2 in this economic crisis?

Whether it is SGD 2, TWD 39 or JPY 100, there is a shop that everybody knows. It's none other than Daiso. There are 4 stores in SG and the largest is at IMM. There is a variety of items you can choose from such as shower gels, earrings, containers, household items, etc.

If I pop into one of these shops, I know that I can shop like a Queen coz everything costs SGD 2 flat and willnt leave till I emerge with my buys. My frens can reckon that. It seems like there are things to buy from these shops. Perhaps, I like the idea of having quantities rather than quality. There are instances when stocks of certain items are run out especially for the 'hot' items. Hence, I always stock up. Recently, I have to be more restrained of my purchases coz of my limited resources. Yup, I'm crazy and should be sent to attend Shopaholic Anonymous.

I also know that there are some retail stores that purchase from Daiso and 'pimp' these items with crystals. BTW, the retail prices is at least 7 times of the original price. Crazy, when the original price of these items is SGD 2. Well, you do the maths.

According to a Taiwanese variety show, a blogger mentions that this item listed below is a good mask for the nose and it costs SGD 2 only. Hence, I bought this today to try. Will let you guys know about its effectiveness. I'm looking forward to a 'cleaner' nose.

Will blog about my adventure in the museum later. Ta!
