WEEKEND shopping for Mrs Jade Tan started on Friday last week.
That was when this year's Great Singapore Sale (GSS) got going - it will roll on till July 26 - and she has already spent $194.40 so far.
'It's wise to come on the first two days; that's when you can get the good bargains,' said Mrs Tan, a secretary in her late 40s, of her forays to malls in Orchard Road.
Among her shopping steals was an Esprit bag that was originally priced at $129.90. She paid just $19.90.
Like her, many other shoppers are also in a mood to snare bargains, going by what The Sunday Times spotted on Saturday.
All seven malls visited - Suntec City, VivoCity, Far East Plaza, Ngee Ann City, Marina Square, AMK Hub and Junction 8 - were packed.
At Takashimaya, for instance, big crowds milled at the sections offering apparel and bags.
Children's toys were also popular buys while designer labels such as Salvatore Ferragamo and Louis Vuitton had their share of customers.
