The best time of the year is here again. Ladies, it’s time to get your armour and shields ready while you fight for the best deals and the cheapest prices on goods!

Why? Well, the Great Singapore Sale is back in town. And here’s the top 10 facts that you just have to know.

How Long Does the GSS Run For?
This year, the sale period’s been extended (Yay!) for 10 weeks. The sale started on 3rd June 2016, and will go on until 14 August 2016.

What’s the Official Card?
This year, the pick goes to UnionPay. Cardholders can expect to get added privileges at selected outlets and malls.

The GSS Daily Rewards
Shop during the GSS and you might just win $100 daily. If you pay with a UnionPay card, you could have an added $500 in your winnings. All you have to do is submit an entry on the GSS’ official website.

Where to Shop
Pretty much anywhere on the island. You could head over to Orchard Road for your pick of high-end goods. If you prefer cultural items, Chinatown and Little India are the perfect places to head to.

Take a Shopcation
I think I just coined up that term myself, but let me explain it to you. There’s the Singapore Big Sale Tour Package that’s perfect for two.

You’d be getting fantastic discounts on your hotel rates, a complimentary half-day tour of the city (it’ll be nice to explore Singapore like a tourist for once!) and you could opt for a Universal Studios Tour too (that’s free too!).

Why You Should Check Out the Expensive Goods Too
For one, luxury names like Salvatore Ferragamo and Gucci do go on sale during the GSS. If you’ve been a good girl and saved some cash to spend at the GSS, you surely won’t regret the handbags and shoes here!

Shop Online Too
You might be too tired from the days of walking and shopping around, so why not do it online for a change? Lazada, Cotton On and Zalora offer you just that!

Use Deals to Up Your GSS Sale Game
There’s never a shortage of bargains when the GSS season is on, but take it up a notch and check out Groupon, Ensogo and other deal portals to ensure you’re not missing out on anything.

Deals on Your Credit Card
Your MasterCard or Visa might be having some promos too, so check it out on your bank’s website.

Travel at a Cheaper Cab Price Too
There are online deals on sites like Flipit that are giving out free rides on Uber, so you might want to take a look at that. No more worries about your many bags in the MRT!
