Be tiangge-ready

Before you go on your next tiangge adventure at Greenhills, here are some tips and tricks to help you make the most of your bargain hunting experience:

Primed & prepared

If you’re in Greenhills to do some serious shopping, it’s good to be prepared. You will walk through narrow spaces, and in some days it can be really crowded. Spare yourself the hassle and bring the following:

• A small bag, preferably one with a sling so you can comfortably reach for your items
• A notepad and a pen, to help you keep track of your purchases. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and go over budget, so this is a must!
• Ecobags, so you can help the environment. They’re sturdier than plastic bags, too!

Got change?

Do yourself and the vendors a favor and bring smaller bills to your shopping trip, especially if you’re not buying in bulk.

Bring friends

There’s nothing like spending quality time with your friends: just going around, casually strolling and looking for the best bargains! Don't forget to ask for discounts when you buy more than two items of the same style. Matching outfits at bargain prices? Yes, please!

Check and double-check

Super-low prices and bargains may trigger an impulse-buying spree. Remind yourself to slow down and scrutinize items before you make a purchase. Check for stains, holes, unfinished hems and other defects. Make sure you get your money’s worth by getting high-quality and durable items.
