In recent years, Singapore is increasingly gaining the title of the world's capital of shopping . A lot of this is facilitated by the opening of new shopping malls and outlets. Until recently, there was no such thing as an "outlet" in this country - it was replaced by the "Great Singapore Sale", held annually in May-June and allowed to save up to 70% of the cost of purchases. But gradually this concept all the same enters into the life of Singaporeans.
The main outlets of Singapore are located in the shopping centers IMM, Changi City Point and Arc. However, to expect the same discounts, as from European outlets, in this case is not necessary. On the other hand, in ordinary stores, it is often possible, thanks to a variety of bonuses and loyalty programs, to purchase goods at a price much lower than the original one.
In addition, in Singapore, very popular seasonal sales, mostly winter - before the Chinese New Year, as well - before the European and before Christmas.
