Have you guys been to Daiso?. The Amazing Store. Always $2.

In Japan, 100 Yen stores are popular and Daiso is one of them. In Singapore for about a year, Daiso sells a wide range of things - stationary, food, containers, tools, consumer goods, papers, picture frames, paper wares, toilet stuffs, toys, pails, pans, cassette, pottery, cultery........... the list goes on and they are nice and cute Japanese design and all items are $2 a piece.

Just got myself a plunger for the blocked basin, a prepacked miso soup (5 servings), a pack of furikake - a Japanese condiments for rice, a cute cartoon cover for my guitar amp and a sponge to wash my Mazda. All for ten bucks including GST. A great place if you are looking for presents for friends (if you got lots of them).

Don't be cynical, the goods are good quality stuff. The maiden store is at IMM, 3rd or 4th floor and is huge. They will be opening a store at Plaza Singapura soon. Check it out.

A caution here. The stuff are cheap at $2 at item, but you can't help picking things as you browse through the store and before you know, you realise you are drying up your wallet at the check out counter.
