Is shopping cheap in Saipan? What is cheap to buy in Saipan?

In the eyes of many people, going abroad without shopping means not going abroad. Today, the editor will tell you some information about shopping in Saipan. You can also check out what's worth buying when you go there.

Is it cheap?

To be honest, shopping in Saipan is not cheap, but compared to domestic shopping, it is still much more cost-effective, and there are still many things worth buying. Most of the sculptures, fabrics, and handicrafts displayed by most businesses in Saipan are imported from the Philippines. They are usually too expensive and of poor quality. It is recommended to buy postcards, T-shirts, accessories, etc. Printing Saipan as a souvenir would be an affordable and affordable option. The handmade tropical fish carved from oak, story boards, weavings made by local people, and coconut masks are all beautiful and are all gifts suitable for travelers to collect.

Use duty-free shops. Saipan is a free trade port and belongs to the United States. It’s easy to find American products and European brands in duty-free shops. The larger duty-free shops here include Saipan Best Buy, ABC Store, Saipan Store, Mama Store, GalabanDFS, etc. There are different preferential policies.

Saibest Duty Free Store often promotes specialty products, such as Coach bags, ZIPPO lighters, (Leavis) jeans, POLOT shirts, CROCS shoes, etc. As well as various health products, cosmetics, tobacco and alcohol. You might as well go there and shop more, it might be cheaper!

DFS Duty Free Store is the largest shopping mall in Saipan. Famous brands from all over the world have entertainment and leisure halls and computer service areas where you can send and receive emails and surf the Internet. Saipan’s mascot, the Saipan Bear, is also available exclusively. HAFAADAISHOPINGC Hafa Purchasing Center has cheap prices and is also a good place to buy souvenirs.

L'AVENUE, the world's first department store, was established in Paris in 1825. The products here are popular in Paris, and those who like fashion cannot miss it.

123DISCOUNTSTORE convenience store has three branches in Galapan District, ranging from daily necessities to gifts and water sports supplies. It also serves Saipan specialties and is very popular among tourists.

I love that Saipan is a big store, close to DFS, and has a full range of items. Candy, chocolate, and cod liver oil are all relatively cheap.

Tonino’s famous store specializes in selling small accessories with original designs, including various brooches, earrings, necklaces, mobile phone straps, etc. You can also choose your own accessories and match them with unique personal accessories, which is very popular among young people. These shopping venues are concentrated in Garapan District, making shopping convenient.

What to buy

First, if you plan to buy skin care products or luxury goods at DFS in Saipan, to be honest, the advantages are not obvious. Of course, it is definitely cheaper than buying domestically.

1. In Saipan DFS, you can check out Bei Lingfei’s pig ointment. I've bought three packs for less than $80. Very cheap, selling in the United States for $30 each.

2. There is not much difference between the DFS in Saipan city and the DFS at Saipan airport. DFS at the airport is great for buying Godivan chocolates. The sky-high price of 100G grams is about the same as 90 yuan, while Saipan Airport only costs 4 yuan/piece. Godivan in Saipan no longer has this 4-dollar 100G brick chocolate. The price at ABC Supermarket is 4.19 yuan/block, which is slightly expensive. Just keep it for yourself and give it away.

Second, how to travel and where to start.

1. I don’t know whether you are flying directly to Saipan or connecting to Incheon. If you are connecting via Incheon, try to allow time for shopping in Incheon. The prices of Korean cosmetics, bags, and watches at Incheon Airport are basically cheaper than those at Saipan DFS. For example, the P killer bag is more than 100 yuan cheaper in Incheon.

2. If it is a direct flight, there is nothing you can do. If you are in Beijing or Shanghai, Estee Lauder is basically the cheapest price in the morning. In addition, Lanc?me’s small black bottle (100ml) is also very cheap. Don’t miss sunscreen and Shiseido’s Golden Bottle either. This is facial sunscreen and it is waterproof.

Third, Saipan is suitable for buying souvenirs.

1. I love Saipan next to DFS. There are many kinds of small things, such as refrigerator magnets, postcards, key rings and other large T-shirts.

However, the price is neither cheap nor expensive; however, the victory lies in the variety of things, relatively complete.

2. The Saipan store on the pedestrian street is suitable for buying handmade soaps, chocolates (be careful not to buy products from China), macadamia nuts, dried mangoes, etc.; because the owner is Chinese, he will have a good impression of his compatriots. Some offers. Good adult milk powder, 1.8KG, about 30 knives, 2.5KG, about 39 knives.

3. For Panda Supermarket, the whole thing is relatively expensive, but Haagen-Dazs ice cream is cheap, 87g for 2.5 knives/cup and 415g for 6.5 knives/cup.

4. Warehouse supermarket: There are three places where local residents purchase goods; opposite the hotel, near Hafada, and near the largest Toyota 4S store (you can find it based on the map if you don’t know). The baby milk powder inside is Abbott (Saipan milk powder is not limited to purchase)

5. In American Memorial Park, there are not many styles of zippo lighters (about 20 to 27 dollars), but they are better in fidelity than other places, haha.

6. Some shops in the city center, others 9922, MAMA, ABC, etc.

Four. Suggestions

1. If you have thick hair and are from Beijing or Shanghai, European and American cosmetics (Estee Lauder, Lanc?me, etc.) can be purchased in the morning.

2. If you are transiting in Incheon, you can’t miss Korean cosmetics. In addition, you can also choose European and American products, and points will be deducted when purchasing from Lotte/Shilla official website. The price is also right.

3. Finally consider buying it at Saipan DFS.
