Adulting is realising that wealth in today’s economy isn’t measured by flashy cars or sprawling houses — it’s about where you shop for groceries. If you find yourself admiring premium cheeses but settling for budget-friendly essentials (same here), then buying wholesale might just be the smarter move for your wallet. Especially in this economy.
For my fellow grocery window-shoppers and bargain hunters, here’s a roundup of the 9 best wholesale stores in JB to stock up on essentials without breaking the bank. And if you’re coming from Singapore, you’re in luck — as of Feb 2025, S$1 gets you ~RM3. Not too bad!
1. Memoland Enterprise Sdn Bhd
With 2025 rolling in, it’s not just the new year — it’s a fresh start for the academic session, too! After a recent stationery haul for my sibling, I was both shocked (but not entirely surprised) at the sky-high prices. RM80 for a pencil case? Seriously?!
Thankfully, if you’re in Masai, Johor (or planning a visit soon), Memoland Enterprise Sdn Bhd has your back.
From school and office supplies to DIY tools like clay modeling kits — even home decor — Memoland is a treasure trove for stationery lovers. Let’s talk deals: 12 gel pens for RM15.40 or 25 ball pens for RM18.50.
Need more? A Maths Instrument Set goes for RM6.40, while Sketch Books and Hardcover Books are just RM3.30 each. Oh, and if you’re into gifting, they even sell Soap Flowers in bulk, starting from RM47.

2. Kian Leong Trading Co
As a kid, I was all about those fancy Barbie dolls and dollhouses — but let’s be real, I had just as much fun with no-brand plastic toys. If you’re looking for affordable yet entertaining options for your little ones, Kian Leong Trading Co is the place to check out.
Located in Taman Johor Jaya, this well-known wholesale store specialises in budget-friendly children’s toys. Think bubble-blowing sticks (RM28.80 for 24 pieces), My Melody 3D Doll Paper Art (RM72 per box), realistic-looking toy guns, classic slime, car toys, and plushies. Fun doesn’t have to break the bank!

3. JB Yap Brothers Food Sdn. Bhd.
Craving a taste of nostalgia? JB Yap Brothers Food is your go-to spot for old-school snacks and toys in bulk. Walking into this shop feels like stepping back in time — back to those mornings of sneaking into shophouses before school just to grab quirky snacks that barely filled you up but came with the coolest little toys.
Here, you’ll find treats from major brands like Hup Seng, Julie’s, Hoe Heng, and Shoon Fatt. Some of their bulk snack deals include Lucky Pop (RM35 for 3kg), Mini Soda (RM32.50 for 3kg), and Sugar Crackers (RM36.70).

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned baker, they’ve got you covered. Need molds and baking trays? They come in all shapes and sizes. Want to level up your skills? Invest in a kitchen mixer to make baking a breeze.
They also stock all the essentials — cocoa powder, various types of flour, sprinkles, butter, and more — so you’ll never run out of ingredients for your next creation!

5. Rainbow Live Online
Located in Ulu Tiram, Rainbow Live Online has gained quite a reputation — especially among Singaporeans. While they’re big on live-stream selling, their physical store is always open for visitors.
If you’re into international snacks, you’ll find gems like CROWN Korean coffee biscuits and a variety of unique cup noodles — think Seafood XO Sauce and Guizhou Spicy Bean Sauce flavours. Ever seen those before? Because I sure haven’t!
Their warehouse is stocked with special edition cup noodles from China and Taiwan, plus instant soup bases to level up your hotpot game. And the best part? Many items are super affordable — some snacks go for as low as RM0.30 per piece!

8. Best Seafood Marketing Sdn Bhd
I still remember the shock of getting a bag full of juicy blue prawns for a fraction of the price while visiting my sibling in a village area — meanwhile, my family was busy stressing over the rising cost of regular prawns in town. If you’re looking for reasonably priced seafood, Best Seafood Marketing Sdn Bhd is the place to check out.
Here, you’ll find not just frozen seafood but live ones, too. Their selection is vast, featuring salmon, tiger prawns, king crab, and seabass, among others. Prices are pretty fair, too — RM6.50 per 100g for tiger prawns, RM2.50 per 100g for red tilapia, and RM35 per kg for white clams.
