Great Singapore Sale: The annual sale event every woman worth her money-saving savvy is waiting for. Here are 10 tips to help you ace your spree. Ready, set, shop!

1. Shop for Lightest Items First

Begin browsing from small to big – for example, the accessories section, then the apparel floor, and finally homeware department. As you move on to the next shop after each purchase, you won't have to lug bulky shopping bags. It's energy-saving and more efficient – imagine having to juggle shopping bags of Levi's jeans, coffee maker, and bedding covers while you try out different lingerie.

2. Go When There's Less Crowd

Set out early during the opening hours, when the mall or shops have just opened for business (most stores open at 10AM - 11AM). If possible, schedule your shopping trip on weekdays to avoid the crowds.

3. Plan Your Priority Buys

Before you head out for that sale, look through your wardrobe for any clothes that you scarcely wear – because they have no flattering top or bottom piece to pair with. Keep in mind what to buy to complement these pieces: These should be priority buys on your shopping list, because they'll complete your wardrobe so you will have more wearable combinations.
