As we enter 2025, most of us are already starting to prep for the upcoming Chinese New Year and our kids will be returning to school. While there are several value dollar stores in Singapore with affordable household goods, some of us may be looking for even cheaper alternatives.
Of course, this is where JB enters the picture thanks to its many affordably priced shopping options. You might already be familiar with JB supermarkets, JB thrift stores, and JB pharmacies; and it’s no stranger when it comes to wholesale goods either. We’ve done the research for you, so here’s a list of wholesale stores in JB that sell everything from school supplies and household goods to toys and snacks.
The current exchange rate is RM1 = ~S$0.30 as of 7th January 2025.
