Having 4.3millions population really sucks but couple in the first weekends of School Holidays, the long weekends and the Great Singapore Sales, Orchard road felt like an oversized sardine can.
Was actually eyeing the Nespressor Machine for quite sometime now and I thought it will be a good time to get it at the GSS especially when Takashimaya card holder normally get 10% off on top of the what discount there is.
Turn out to be a real disappointment.
If I remember correctly, last year they offer 10% off the machine and with the Takashimaya cards you get total of 20% off.
The Citiz Aeroccinno is listed at $678 and this year offer is only $50 off plus 10% off which come up to $565.20. Far short of the 20% price of $542 I was looking at.
A check on the website and I found out the same machine cost only about S$400 in UK.
Singapore really sucks.
Look at the mark up $678 - $400 = $278.
Who say Singapore is a cheap place?
Wonder where all the shoppers come from? Better take you spending power elsewhere if you have the chance.
So anyone heading to UK please let me know.
