Daiso

Daiso is one of my favourite shops to go to! Mainly because everything in there is RM5.30 (with GST). Its a shop that has a BIG variety o items that range from cooking utensils to doggy clothes to stationaries. You would find almost anything and everything there. I always find very unique and interesting things that I never thought existed. The best part about this shop is you can get most things for a very very cheap price compared to getting it at other shops.
For an example, I bought printed scotch tape from a stationary shop which costed me RM8 a roll and in Daiso I found it for RM5.30 (for a pack of 3). Very worth it! Most of the items are not meant for long term use and therefore its a place to get things you would usually throw away after a few uses or wouldnt keep it for the long run. All in all, a really fun shop to go to !

i absolutely love Daiso! i get almost all my random stuff from here especially my doggie toys. Its the best place for cheap stuff that are not really important. So like shower curtains, random rugs for your bathroom, plastic plates for picnics, this is the place.
Everything is now RM5.30 thanks to GST. It used to be RM5 only. I like getting those little wooly blankets for my doggies and also hand towels etc. They also have mason jars of different sizes and colors, so cute! This particular outlet is the one i frequent most and I think its pretty big and well stocked. What you shouldn’t buy from here is earphones, or usb wires. they dont work, and if they do it’ll only be for two to three days depending on your luck. Besides that everything else is sorat worth it, but you need to ensure what you’re buying is worth RM5.30 and not worth less than that.

Who would have thought that a RM5 shop could be this exciting. No joke, the amount of things you end up walking out with is just ridiculous. Daiso can seriously be dangerous if your a shopping addict!
I first visited this place in Sunway pyramid where I spent an easy 2 hours vetting through everything they have there. To be frank, some things are not even worth the 5 bucks, so you have to make sure that you know what you want & weigh whether it’s more worth it getting it there or elsewhere. The Tupperware & boxes section are one of my main aisle to go to along with the cooking utensils section.
This would be a good place to go to get all your household items. Cheap, affordable & you would be spoilt for choice.

I found some amazing decoration stuff at this place for 5 rm! it’s insanely cheap and has variety of products, I was really confused when I walked in there that I had to ask around for direction to find what I was looking for.
The staff doesn’t speak english one of the customers guided me which I thought was really nice.
I think these guys need to employ some english speakers because they have a huge shop and they sell so much stuff, I’m sure a lot of expats that would get drawn to this place would suffer from trying to find something here, it’s almost as if you are trying to find a needle in the middle of a bucket of sand. it’s not too hard but it takes time.

Who doesn’t love Daiso? One stop shop for all; and everything is only 5 bucks. 5.30 now, after GST. It is the first thing that comes to my mind everytime I need to look for something simple that doesn’t need to be in top quality (e.g. bread knife, water bottle, compartments, etc).
Perhaps I can make this review more useful by listing my favourite products to purchase from Daiso. You can refer to the picture to understand what I’m talking about :)
1. Wooden photo frames — they are really in good quality, no uneven edges, and the wood is even polished. Similar product in Ikea could even be RM 15 or more.
2. Bigger or more tedious compartments — good quality too. Comparable compartments in department stores would confirm be at least RM 10.
3. Unique or foldable useful bottles — you might not even find somewhere else.
4. Phone cables and car plug — I was skeptical to try these cables out at first, but they had no problem with my phone, and bonus point they’re colourful so you can definitely distinguish your cable to other mainstream phone cables too. :)
5. Clothes mesh case — foldable compartments for clothes, extremely useful for traveling!!! Eagle’s creek sells these compartments too, but of course it’s way less pricey to get them in Daiso; afterall how bad can a zipped compartment be?
So ya; these are my favourite products that I think are totally worth buying from Daiso. Let me know if you find it useful, I’ll update if I find more! ^_^

I think Daiso pretty much change my life! I love how everything there is so cheap and you can basically get almost everything you need especially for household appliances starts from kitchen utensils, napkin, cleaning paper for floor, snacks, drinks, plants, boxes, nail polish, laundry bag, photo frame, even they have dog pampers there as well!
Of course I think not all of the stuff there are worth RM5 and you can get cheaper somewhere else, for example paper napkin, or small stuff like chopstick and so on, but for other stuff like boxes to put your documents or just to organise your stuff, it will cost you fortune if you look in places like MUJI for example, but you can get it home for just RM5 in Daiso.
Be mindful though, sometimes several stuff are more than RM5, it’s very minimal but for example teapot will cost you RM15 there, which I think is still a pretty good deal. Anyway just keep in mind what you need and not to be affected to much with the number 5, but see which stuffs are actually worth the price.

Can we call it false advertisement — everything is not 5RM, it’s 5.30. It is not that it means a lot, but I would rather have them say nothing, than lie. But I guess it’s just something that the store is upset with as well.
They have a really wide range of goodies, you can always find little things to decorate your room, get some candles, scents and frames.
A great place to pimp up your living room with their fun paintings! :)
It’s definitely worth a visit, so don’t hesitate, make sure you check it out.

One thing I appreciate about the staffs here is that they usually know where most items are. So sometimes to save time on browsing, I’d just approach one of them and I will be led to where it’s placed, and be informed should it be out of stock.
This outlet is quite user friendly and I find it slightly less cluttered especially than the one in Mid Valley. Staff at the cashier is always friendly and energetic too.
Despite everything being «cheap» at only RM5, somethings aren’t exactly worth the price. Nonetheless, it’s a convenient store and it has the weirdest yet most useable things.

I’m a big fan of Daiso because I can get everything from stationaries to household items and edible items from here. They have a wide selection of items and you can really spend a long time browsing through every aisle in the shop. The staffs at Daiso are always very helpful and friendly too. One downside of Daiso is the space. Due to the varieties of items they have, most of their shops are very small and tough to walk around. You’ll tend to bump into people very easily.
Few weeks ago I dropped by Daiso at Publika to make some purchase and I found out they have increased the price after the GST. All the items used to be RM5 but it’s not RM5.30. I’m a little bit disappointed but I guess the price increase is something we can avoid.

EVERYTHING FOR RM5 IN HERE! you can get household items, junk foods, stationeries, air refresher, garden things, art suppliers and many more.
Daiso has became really popular when words of mouth spread about this RM5 and certain branches actually sell dog clothes for RM5! i used to buy my cat clothes in here but as usual cat do not like to wear anything.
I usually get air refresher, phone stylus, tissue wipes and all these routine items you use you in daily life. You can get kitchen households, bowls, pails, cups, facial items.
Such a good place to have quick buy instead of spending a bomb
