| Thrift shopping at a good cost. |
Hi everyone!
Thrift shopping is a more cost-saving way to get you the items you need PLUS it's like a treasure hunt - You'll never know what you might find!
Over in Waterloo Street, New2U Thrift Shop has been established since 2000. The shop is managed entirely by volunteers.

| 96 Waterloo Street |
We had breakfast over at Harbourfront Bagus before heading over to the thrift shop. It opens on Weekdays from 10.30am to 2.30pm, so we had some time to kill after ending our night shift.
 |
| I had Yong Tau Foo for breakfast :p |
The place was easy to find and accessible. We dropped off at Bras Basah MRT and it was about an 8 minutes of walk over.
 |
| The feeling of accomplishment when we found the Thrift Shop! |
 |
| The building is what you would call 'rustic' |
New2U 'sells' pre-loved items such as clothes, shoes, accessories, household items, decorative items, books, CDs, etc. Basically it's the place where you can find almost everything you have at home and more.
The special thing about thrift-shopping here is that, all the items are donated by people like all of us and the proceeds will go towards beneficiaries such as the
Star Shelter and various
SCWO Initiatives.
 |
| The shoes here are mostly for ladies. |
 |
| Neatly arranged and organised racks of clothing. |
The clothes section is the most extensive. You'll find everything sorted according to tops, dresses, jackets, pants and jeans.
Also, the items are sorted for Men or Women, so you can find everything easily. Here, you'll be able to find brands such as River Island, Banana Republic, Mango, Zara and other branded clothing for prices going as low as $1.
 |
| This guy keeps going on about Germany - He was so pleased when he found this travel guide book. :P |
If shopping for clothing is not your type, you'll find preloved books, toys, and even jewellery here as well. We spent most of our time over at the Books and CDs section.
 |
| Who else remembers Feeding Frenzy? Such a good game! :D |
Overall, it was an interesting place to visit and buy some stuffs. At the same time, it will help others in need, so why not? :) If thrift shopping or treasure hunting is your thing, or you would simply like to get some items as props for a dress up party (do people still do that?), this is definitely the place to go!
 |
| I think this is so cute! |
Time moves in another dimension here and before long, we realised that it is already noon. I didn't manage to take much photos of the household items and toys as the room is quite filled up with people.
 |
| The SG50 Sale was on when we visited. |
PLUS!! For every last 2 working days of the month, everything will go for HALF its price! If you're a student, you can also enjoy 1/2 price off items on every Tuesday. (This excludes books, toys and jewellery)
 |
| Pardon our sleepy eyes. Thanks to them for introducing me and the rest of us to this place! |
