Saving tips - part 1

Having a new role as the CFO of the household, 笨mummy needs to improvise and learn a few new tricks to manage her expenses well. Here are some of the "tricks" she picked up in the recent weeks for sharing. 

1) Looking out for samples before checkout
Before she checkout of her groceries shopping on online websites, such as Redmart and  Fairprice online, 笨mummy would always do an additional step to search for the keyword "sample" to see what items are being offerred as samples for 笨mummy to pick up before she completes her shopping. 

In the recent shopping on Redmart, she had picked up 
  • A Nescafe Gold Latte Coffee Sample pack for S$0.25 which consists of 4 packs of the Nescafe Gold Latte Coffee (which a packet of 12 could cost around $6.50).
  • A sample 370g tin of Enfagrow A+ Gentlease stage 2 stage for Child 2 at $0.10. This is a real bargain considered how expensive milk powder can be, and being, older and starting to weaning, Child 2 has no problem drinking milk powder from other brands)


Below is a printscreen of what are offered on Redmart that you can find: 


2) Qoo10 Gift card
As a regular shopper on Qoo10, it is only now that 笨mummy discovers the gift card. Qoo10 allows a shopper can actually buy gift card of $100 value on Qoo10 at a discount of 3%. If you are a regular buyer, like 笨mummy, you can actually save $3 for every $100 you spent when you purchase the gift card and use the gift card to top up your Q Money. 


That's all 笨mummy has to share for now. If anyone has any saving tip, do share with her. Saving is caring. :)
