GSS Goes Online: Get the Best Deals Without Leaving Your Bed (Starts on 9 Sep!)
Xue Miao●
I thought that being cooped up at home during this period would result in me spending less.
Well, I thought wrong.
While 2020 has been mostly a disaster thus far, virtual events and online deals have been the few good things that came out of it.
When I embarked on my personal finance journey when I started my full-time job, I told myself to stretch every dollar by making the most out of my purchases.
So what’s making smarter personal finance choices without getting items that you need at the best prices, right?
The Great Singapore Sale (GSS) is the BIGGEST sale that happens in Singapore every year, and this year – it’s happening online!
No more having to endure intimidating crowds like this:
This annual sale will run from 9 September to 10 October 2020 and will be fully online.
This means online deals, virtual workshops, live-streaming activities and technology like virtual reality for shoppers!
The GSS is also part of the Singapore Tourism Board’s (STB) SingapoRediscovers initiative, and will feature about 800 brands this year.
Now, what are some of the best deals you can look out for during eGSS – 2020 edition?
