Haha, now how did bargains turn into prenups??? :icon_cheesygrin:
Back on topic - anything MADE IN CHINA you should be able to find cheaper there. Stuff imported will usually be more expensive, eg. branded PCs, like HP, Compaq (verified that, cheaper in Singapore actually than in China).
How come nobody mentioned the OBVIOUS? FOOOOOOOOOD !!!
One of the best bargains ever, in price & quality & variety.
Short times --- (every hotel seems to have em, AND they always seem to call you in the room 15 minutes after you get back, haha, usually in guise of massages)
PIRATED DVDs !!! nuff said - the selection is amazing ! I found stuff even original shops won't have, like compilations, like unabridged editions.
TAXI fares --- some cities you negotiate the rate, often as low as 5RMB for a 10 minute ride,
LEATHER goods (well some places anyway).
SILK & freshwater pearls (okay the latter may be poorer quality)
