Thrifting - Why spend $20 when you can spend $2?

Thrift shopping is the BIG thing now as everyone loves to shop but doesn't want to spend too much. I used to frequent Salvation Army's Praise Haven but I only go there because my family wants to. I didn't buy anything and didn't know that there will be good stuffs there. However after reading a lot of thrifting posts, I changed my mind and decided to dig for treasures in thrift shops!

*I wanted to vlog but I'm really busy so I will just talk about my hauls :)

These are the thrift shops that I've already been to: 

Salvation Army - Praise Haven Thrift Store (Bukit Timah)

500 Upper Bukit Timah Road S(678106)

Mondays - Thursdays 10am to 6pm

Fridays & Saturdays 10am to 9pm 
Closed on Sundays 




They sell lots of stuff! From furniture to clothes to gadgets, they have it all! Every Wednesday there's 50% off for furniture so do check it out! From my experience, their stuffs are not exactly very very cheap which means that averagely, a dress there may cost you around $15 which is actually the price you can get from Bugis street. 

What I bought there: 
- Archie Comics! (Double digest for $4, normal for $2)
Not exactly the cheapest thing but compared to the normal retail price, its already 50% off~ 
- Two tops, each for $5

96 Waterloo Street, Singapore (187967)


This is going to be one of my favourite thrift shop now & I am sure I will go back again to check it out! This shop is just about a 5 mins walk from Bras Basar MRT station. The shop is not very big but they do sell quite a lot of things! The stuffs are all very very cheap and if you are a student, do go on a Tuesday because you are entitled to a 50% discount (except certain items). 

What I bought there:
I bought 3 tops! And guess how much it cost in total? *drumroll* $6!! Each top is $2! And it's really pretty and one is mphosis! I was supposed to vlog and show you guys but since I didn't have time for that, look at the picture below :) That's one of the top that I bought and it features my other cheap deals~ Haha. 



I will be looking for more thrift shops & blog about them so stay tune! 

xoxo.
