Shop with a heart

Just got off the phone with SPCA (The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)...folks, look out for SPCA Jumble Sale in November or December.

SPCA Selangor
Jalan Kerja Air Lama
68000 Ampang, Selangor.
Tel : 03-42565312, 42535179
Fax : 03-42528382
Email : spca@streamyx.com

A tip for your trip to the sale in Nov or Dec, if you fancy bags and shoes, head straight to the bags n shoes corner (usually put together) first before you hit the clothes pile because the fabulous bags and shoes are usually gone quite early...and I mean EARLY, this is a sale you should go when the gates opens at 10am (usually 10am - 3pm) if you like to get your hands on the best bags. The clothes are plenty, in colossal piles and chances are you will still be able to find good items there after you raid the shoes n bags. If you like books, they are usually displayed right next to the bags.

Oh, how can I forget the accessories! The accessories are placed right in front of the side gate which is unfortunately not opened during the sale; to get there, you elbow everyone when the main gates open and head straight to the left and u-turn back to the side gate corner where the SPCA office is located too to get to the usually HUGE pile of accessories at incredible price.

Once happy with your purchases, you might want to consider going back on a normal day to volunteer at the shelter. The animals are too adorable to be seen only during the jumble sale. If you are looking to buy a pet, get one at SPCA or PAWS (Paws Animals Welfare) instead of paying high price at the pet shops, and you are helping the animals at the same time.
