How to Stretch your Dollar?

In view of the current economic situation, i decide to share some personal views on how you can stretch your dollar, hehe! Here it goes...

Let's start from FOOD since our fav past-time is eating ... there are actually value for money eating places around town.

1) Golden Shoe Market (Raffles Place MRT), the economy rice sells ANY 3 dishes for $2.00. Alternatively, u can have 4 dishes for $2.50. Head to 2nd level of the double storey market... u can find a few economy rice stalls. There are also nasi lemak stalls which attract long Q too.

2) Chinatown Complex Food Centre (Chinatown NEL Station), there is a $1 fruit juice stall. I also enjoy the $2 yam cake, u can opt for yam cake + rice roll (猪肠粉) also $2 only! This yam cake stall is #02-166, 佳记. Alot of cheap & good food here!

3) Hong Lim Food Centre (Clarke Quay Station/Chinatown Station). My fav here would be the wanton mee stall ~ Ji Ji wanton mee. Starting from $2, it have a decent portion if u r average eater... but i usually upsize to $2.50, so hv more wanton...yum yum! Talk abt it, i'm craving for it now, used to have it at least once a week when my office was nearby! Have to be patient as the Q is veri long during lunch hour. But serving is consider fast liao!

Movies ~ Another of our fav past times...

1) Golden Village: I juz went online to sign up FOC for its movie club, where u can watch movie at $6.50 every tues... there's also premieres you can attend for their lucky draw. View their website for more details, http://www.gv.com.sg/promotions.jsp . OCBC card holders & SAFRA members have discounts.

2) Cathay: UOB credit cards holders get 12% discount for every 2 tickets purchase on weekends. M1 users can flash their hp at the ticket booth to get 50% off 2nd tix every Sunday. Currently, part of M1's anniversary promo, u can get 1-for-1 every Sunday till 19 Apr 09!

Books ~ our souls need some nutrients too...

Check out our National Library, from 1 Apr 09 onward, the $0.50 renewal fees is scraped. The books stock are pretty updated. All you need is your NRIC to borrow books! But ensure u clear all your fines, else you are barred from borrowing!

KTV ~ how could i miss this rite? keke!

1) Partyworld: Go for the $9.80++ per pax deal. Sing ur heart out for 4 hrs before 8pm.
