Best things to buy from Muji’s JB outlet
These discounts are just the tip of the iceberg since we took transporting the items back by hand into consideration. But if you’ve got the means to transport larger furniture pieces over at affordable prices, then the Muji outlet at Mid Valley Southkey will be somewhere you’ll be flocking to a lot.
It also helps that the outlet is situated a mere 30 minutes from the causeway by car, so it’s definitely a pitstop you’ll want to make while you’re next in JB.
