Cheap cheap, good good. It’s a slogan that Singaporeans have lived with for numerous years, and for good reason.

A notion that would prove to be vital, especially amidst these turbulent times.

Hence the single tagline: cheap cheap, good good.

And yet, what exactly defines the catchphrase?

What is worthy… of living up to the reputation of those four words?

For years, Singaporeans have struggled to comprehend or understand. But it appears that we may have our solution at long last:

These.

Apparently, a stall in Tiong Bahru has pledged itself to do eternal charity…

Because why else would they market CNY goodies at such dirt cheap prices?

According to a Facebook post, fruit wholesaler Lao Sin Kian Choon is currently retailing jars of snacks at insane rates.

At this point, you may find yourself wondering:

“Sure, it’s cheap. But is it good?”

Well, according to the Netizen who first shared the news, it is.

“Cheap and delicious!” she wrote.

And citizens of the Internet were evidently stoked.

Many, in particular, gushed over the cheap prices at hand, while others could not wait to spread the good news.

To date, the post has garnered over 1.1K likes & reactions, and a whopping 554 shares.

And that leads to the all-important question.

Where on earth is this magical place?
