Labour Day just ended and we’re already anticipating the next public holiday, Vesak Day, in 2 weeks – cue a sigh of relief from tired students and office slaves. On top of those rest days, there are loads of discounts to look forward to this May, from half-priced alcohol to $1 gelato and a massive furniture warehouse sale.

We still don’t know much about the exact products that’ll be sold during the event as it has yet to be revealed, but you can expect high-quality sports items from brands like Adidas, Speedo, Puma, and Reebok as part of the stash.
