Inexpensive accommodation facilities in Singapore quite a bit: the price of Hotel rooms diminish with distance from the city center (it is recommended to stay close to the transport hubs - subway stations and bus stops). Cheapest hotel sheltered area of Geylang, but should be aware that this area "red light" dirty streets "night butterflies" and dubious characters.
One of the goals of your holiday in Singapore - shopping? It makes sense to stay close to the Orchard Road (minus accommodation in the area - the noise from the moving vehicle and the music coming from the high cost of shopping malls + hotels).
