Was driving around today doing chores and spotted an ad banner outside an optical store nearby a local university, selling glasses + lens for the grand price of RM39. I was rushing so I didn't ask for more details, but there's a great big lesson in spotting bargains for unlikely items: nearby a known student housing, or local universities.
We know that restaurants, photocopy shops and stationary shops around these areas are ALWAYS competitively priced, we just never think it'd extend to even glasses! Come to the think of it, I did get half-price contact lenses somewhere there about a year ago, bought in bulk (lasting until now).
(While that's a bargain, however, it's worth noting that it might just be a student offer, not for the general public, but one can always find ways to utilize a deal.)
I'll have a prowl there sometime soon just to see what other things might be cheaper than market price...
