Get ready for The Great Singapore Sale 2009!

Everywhere and anytime in these 8 weeks of the months from 29 May to 26 July 09, Am sure you can find posters, advertisments, banners, signboards at all of the shopping malls that sweep over the island in Singapore. One very common word you can find on the prints, in bold which usually that caught our attention, especially women - "SALE"!

With these irresistible discounts and offers, have you ever thought of pampering yourself or your loved ones without hurting your wallet too much? How to avoid impulse buying? When to stop spending? Is the item worth the price tag?

Here are some of the shopping tips for a successful round at the sales.

<1> Purchases made at a sale are usually final. Check their return/exchange/refund policy before you hand over cash or credit card.
<2> Check quality labels. You shouldn't be paying $400 for cotton.
<3> If the shoe doesn't fit, it doesn't fit.
<4> Reserve pricer items where possible, then sleep over it to see if you still want it the next day. This will help curb impulse buys.
<5> Only buy what you feel comfortable in.
<6> Don't let the clothes wear you, wear them instead. If it looks weird, it probably is.

What's more, being a shopaddict, you must learn some clever know-how to save a pretty penny.

<1> Know your size: collar size, waist size, t-shirt size, shoe size
(so you don't need to queue for the changing room.)
<2> Have a shopping list. You'll be so much more focused and efficient.
<3> The item should match at least two other pieces in your wardrobe, if not give it a pass.
<4> If you don't know what looks good on you, bring a stylist friend along.
<5> Remember: oversized shirts only look good on girls!
<6> Bring a belt. You never know when you might need it while trying on clothes.

Hope this help a little and every girls like you will enjoy in this shopping frezy!

LOVE :)
