16. Buy Cigarettes
You can make use of the Johor trip to buy cigarette as we were aware that the cigarettes price in Singapore would be slightly higher than in Malaysia. However, be ensured that you are above 18 and you can only bring one opened pack of cigarettes through the Singapore checkpoint to avoid being fined.
17. Karaoke Singing
Karaoke is about singing off your lungs for the songs that you love the most. It does not mean you have to be a good singer to sing in karaokes. It is meant for everyone to enjoy singing-a-long their favorite pieces by their favorite singers which are mostly popular singers.

Hence, you should try it sometime to see it for yourself at any karaoke in Johor as it would be cheaper than in Singapore.
18. Having Medications And Treatment
As you know, Singapore’s medical bill would be very expensive and not really affordable for lower income family. This high cost of healthcare causes most Singaporeans to have self medicating at pharmacies if they encounter minor sickness. However, not all medicines can be bought from the pharmacy without a doctor’s prescription. In order to save costs and gain those medicines, many Singaporeans would tend to pay visits to the doctors in Johor to get professional advice and medications.
19. Having A Trip To The Dentist
Having a perfect bright smile seems to be everyone’s dream these days. We recommend that you pay a visit to the dentist whenever you are in Johor.
Putting braces on in Johor would be cheaper too. However, please consider the traveling schedule as you may need to travel to and fro Johor to get your braces tighten or fixed if you are not visiting Johor that often.
20. Having Spectacles Fixed Or Making A New Pair Of Spectacles
It could be a high cost for frequent visitors to opticians who are staying in Singapore. So, we suggest that you can do it at Johor in order to cut down the cost.
The opticians in Johor are friendly and experienced too, we believe that they can help to solve your ‘spectacles’ problems in the blink of time. Besides, you can spend your time shopping while waiting for your spectacles to be fixed too.
21. Purchase Personal Care Item
We have always heard complaints about how expensive the personal care items sold in Singapore are, but this no longer bothers them anymore in the future. Singaporeans could get it at Johor Bahru’s Watson outlet which sells personal care items and many beauty products at a lower price.
Moreover, they’re always having great discounts throughout the year, even at the weekend, making the already cheap products even cheaper.
22. Purchase Baby Diapers And Milk Powder
Another reason that supports Singapore’s low birth rate is probably due to the high cost of raising a child. In order to lower the costs, Singaporean parents usually buy quality guaranteed milk powder and baby diapers in Johor Bahru, which is cheaper than in Singapore.
23. Getting All Sorts Of Traditional Malay Or Chinese Medications
Since Malaysia is a multi-race country, there would be various traditional medications center available around, especially Johor Bahru.
These traditional medication ways are proven to the public as many people have their illnesses cured after receiving their medication. You might not get used to these traditional ways due to the overpowering traditional herbal flavor. But it should not be the reason why you stop giving it a try.
