Let's hear what are some items that Owners can purchase 3-4 mths beforehand so as to reduce time/effort when reno is ready.
or due to the forecasted rise of Goods & Services Tax

- Bedsheets
- Cutlery Set
Fridge
Hobs and hood
Bedframe
Mattress
Toilet accessories
Dining tables and chairs
Sofa and console
Lights
Air con units
Going around to look at potential or for ideas helps too then can help to save time during renovation.
Those are a few that my wife and I are planning to purchase or have made deposits for.
I whack 2 x Sony TV and 1 x Soundbar during their Sony Days promo, last day of 2017, but take delivery only in mid March hahahaa.
Got 1 Simmons Tilam also, after all their pattern many many got at almost 40% off, same thing bought last year Xmas take delivery mid March.
Bathtub ordered early due to shipping time very long. Again ETA early March.
Upcoming is probably install aircon pipes first?
Need to whack taobao items too liao, things like 200 x hangers, cheap towels and all.
Oh ya that day go jalan jalan at Geylang whack some bathroom accessories liao.

Good tips there, however I miss the year end sale as I was outstation.
Looks like the next one is CNY sales.
Do u think the prices of IKEA will be able to match taobao prices, based on quality and design? Might head to ikea to look for hangers and cheap towels as.
Btw, which retailer you would recommend for bathroom accessories in Geylang?
I intend to head down Hoe Kee to Lsls.
I wanted the thick wooden hangers from Ikea, about $1/piece.
GF prefer plastic ones from taobao at half the price. Slimmer and more hooks for things like tank top etc.
Never see taobao wooden ones so can't compare.

Actually we only made purchases for fridge, aircon and washing machine/dryer, and dining set. Cos each item we saved at least $200 or even more. For our washer and dining set, we managed to get $500+ off each respectively.
The rest we have more or less decided, will make our purchases too.
Been looking for furniture for living room, but we have not come across any we like.
Electronics products can wait cos those prices will drop for sure. Plan to hoot during those IT shows etc. Hahaha.
These purchases you made, Harvey Norman? Seems like they have the best price.
Next show should be coming up soon!
Am looking out for a speaker too. Any comments regarding the Sonos playback?
We went to different shops to buy different items. We visited Tangs, Gain City and Harvey Norman. GC seems to have better deals we feel.
