Find Hidden Bargains in Outlet Stores at Changi City Point Mall Singapore

Tucked in the Eastern side of Singapore is a new shopping mall called Changi City Point. 
Changi City Point Mall in Singapore
The mall was completed in 2011 but, there are still a few constructions going on. Nonetheless, for thrilling budget finds or for just simply strolling around, you can include this place as a must-visit to your list.

A friend told me about this place when one day we were talking about finding branded items at cheaper prices. I guess their main office being near the mall, it is not surprising at all for her to discover this place.

So out of the blue, we thought it would be worthwhile to just see what the mall can actually offer. It was quite a distance from our place but for a pair of itchy feet and the budget hunter that I am, there is nothing that can simply stop me from going. And I was right, another gem of a discovery!

Strolling through the mall, we were greeted with several bargain outlet shops. When you first enter the mall, you will see Puma and Payless shoe store. Shoes are discounted up to 30% off. Located as well on the ground floor is Charles & Keith and Pedro - again a pair of shoes can be 40% cheaper!

Head out to the second floor and your eyes (and wallet in danger of getting empty) will surely not be able to resist to look at Adidas, Nike, and Lacoste. The Lacoste Classic shirt was a steal for two (2) shirts at $99 - that would be 50% off the original price. Beside the Lacoste shop is Royal Sporting House outlet as well which caters to several sport brands. I was able to buy a Speedo swimsuit for only $25 ! 

Walk even further and you will be able to find Crocs and Hush Puppies. There is also another outlet called Branded Outlet which just basically means it is selling all branded items - some of the brands they carry are Onitsuka Tiger shoes and Anne Klein. 

There are also quite a few restaurants and a food court which you can visit should you go hungry.


The Oasis at Changi City Point Mall, Singapore
One of the interesting feature of the mall is called "The Oasis" - a sanctuary where one can enjoy a bit of nature inside a shopping mall where you can relish your meal or quench your thirst when drinking beer.

They also have a children's area where your little ones can play. : )

Head out there now and just have fun!

IMM Singapore: A Mall No Shopaholic Can Resist

IMM Mall Singapore
Opened in 1992, IMM Mall of Singapore provides retail, warehouse and office spaces. Located just 5 minutes from the Jurong East MRT (red line), this place is unknown to many even among the locals.


Even though the place is far (located at the Western part of Singapore), the mall provides free shuttle bus that takes one to and fro.

I discovered the mall back in 2008 - our regional office was about 15 minutes away by cab and almost always once a week, we go there for lunch (and your guess is as good as mine, some mini shopping!). Back then, there were only about 19 outlet stores. Constant favorites would be Esprit, Fox and Daiso - the ultimate one as all items are priced at $2 SGD! Even though we don't intend to shop, we are tempted to do so. Our temptation also gets tickled every time the sales clerk at Esprit sends us a text message of the shop's even bigger sales.

This outlet is different from all other malls in Singapore because the sale is all year round! Be surprised even with an even bigger sale during the yearly GSS (Great Singapore Sale). How do you top that? 

Tourists and locals alike will be delighted to know that there are now over 50 outlets (or discounts store) in the mall. This is part of the mall's strategy to re-brand itself when it went on a massive renovation that started in 2012 and completed just in May of 2013. IMM now boasts to be the biggest outlet store in Singapore.

Some of the stores include popular brands such as Esprit, Timberland, Agnes b and Coach. FJB outlet is also now present which carries popular brands such as Gap, Guess and Banana Republic.

La Boutique cannot be missed with brands like Naf Naf, French Connection and Tila.

Can't get enough of it? Other brands such as Bossini, Giordano, Hush Puppies, and Fox are shops not to be missed.

Discount ranges for each store are between 30% to 70% - that is one big discount which will really push your itchy feet to get going.

Daiso (the popular Japanese store) that offers all items at 2 SGD can also be found at the 3rd floor of the mall.

Gone hungry? Not to worry, as there are many restaurants, fast food chains and food courts available.

Want to know more? Go to the mall's official website at www.imm.sg and check out your favorite shop.

Location: Jurong East (take the North-South red line going to Woodlands) and alight at the Jurong East interchange. When you exit the train, find the free IMM shuttle bus or take a 5-minute walk.
