Found me a thrifty store!!



This is the thrift store that I tweeted about a couple of days back.  What amazed me was that it was in my neighbourhood and I didn't know it existed!!  Minds stands for Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore. You can donate your preloved items to the Minds Shop too.  I popped in to have a look (no buying!) and they have a variety of clothes, books, bags, shoes and even furniture.  The prices were very reasonable for the clothes ranging from a few dollars to $20.  The lady at the counter said that they offered free delivery for the large furniture items.  Helping out at the shop on that day were a few intellectually disabled - they were learning the ropes and how to interact with customers.  This will definitely be a regular haunt for me :-)

  1. That's a great shop. I wonder if we have a similar one in Malaysia...

  2. It is a great shop and since it's in my neighbourhood, I'll be going over there pretty often :-) I think there will be thrift shops in Malaysia.
