I always feel guilty when I over spent my money on the goods I bought, especially at the current condition of the economy.
Yea, sometimes, Lik does make a complaint. :)
So, I found another best way to fulfill my shopping desired, which is buying second-hand items at much lower prices.
Shopping second-hand isn't something new for me.
During my university years in Michigan, me and my housemates would always shop at the local second-hand shops without breaking our wallets. :)
Second-hand shopping is such a fun way to find what we need and update; we always went back home with surprises because of the great stuffs we found at the shops.
Furthermore, I also think buying second-hand items is considered green because you are giving the item a brand new life once again.
It was so fun to join the pre-opening shopping experience at Jalan Jalan Japan, located at 1 Shamelin Mall on the last weekend.
This is their second outlet after the first store opened in November 2016 at Sky Park, One City Mall, USJ in Subang Jaya.
The first store was a great success for Jalan Jalan Japan since Malaysian love pre-loved goods and the sales performance is a great encouragement for them to open their second branch.
Japan is a rich nation where people are able to earn high income, but lack of personal storage space.
Since the living space is small which is very different compare to Malaysia, this makes it necessary for the Japanese to sell fairly new stuffs at "Preloved" stores.
"Preloved" concept has become an integral part of Japanese culture, therefore Jalan Jalan Japan believes that the world can be a better place if the products they owned can be loved by others.
Regardless of your budget, you will always get more at Jalan Jalan Japan with pricing starting at RM1 for many items.
Though they all are pre-loved items, the qualities are still much appreciated and everything at the stores are shipped directly from Japan.
Everything at Jalan Jalan Japan is very neat and well organized.
It's just like a department store, except everything here is second-hand.
So now, let me bring you around the store to find the absolute gems at Jalan Jalan Japan. #excitednya
