Booze at SIN
Are the liquor prices at SIN decent? Going into the country it probably makes sense to purchase as booze is spendy in Singapore, but how about departing?

Depends where you're heading to and what you're buying, but SIN always seems to be very cheap for white spirits (gin, vodka, rum). Dark spirits seem more expensive and Dubai is cheaper all round, but that aside....
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

SIN is also quite good in terms of selection. Their offering of red wine is quite impressive... ^

Agree with Tony.
Depends where you are going.
Prices are much cheaper in Europe.
Even duty paid!
The wine selction is impressive, but expect to find some bottles at up to 1/3 of the price in Carrefour in France!
Beer is a complete rip-off (S$ 2 or more for a can they get wholesale for about S$ 0.30)!
Tabacco is cheap. But in this field my expertise is limited.
10 packs of Marlboro at just over USD 10.
