Jumble Sale 8-14 July

It's here again! Mr Budget's favourite jumble sale!

Ever since Mr Budget chanced across this jumble sale while emerging from a World Youth Day meeting at the Catholic Archdiocesan Youth Centre (2 Lorong Low Koon) about a year ago, he's been hooked to it. This will be his 3rd jumble sale at the centre, and his 5th to 7th visits!

The jumble sale lasts for a week and all proceeds go to the centre. You can find almost anything in the entire hall reserved for this sale. Clothes will be grouped into various piles in the centre, and will probably go for about $2 an item. Most small items are priced at $2, while the larger the item, the higher the price. Still, you can pick up a luggage bag for $6, or a refrigerator for $50.

The pre-sale will be on Tuesday, 7th July. This is a good time to get best picks of items. The last day, 14th July, will be the time for great deals. Items will be sold really cheaply. The last time, Mr Budget spent 2 hours shopping in there, and came away with 3 kg of clothes (for $3) and a haversack for $2.

However, do note that the sale is on from 8.00am to 4.00pm daily during this period, so if you have to work, well, try to get to it on the weekends then. If you have old stuff to give away, you can also bring it to this jumble sale, where it will be resold next time round.
