Here are ways to Save up During these Inflation Period
- Get fashion discount cards like ESPRIT, TANGS & TOPMAN to get discount of 10-20% when you shop with them...i get a ESPRIT jacket for $49 in MACAU after the discount which cost $99 in Singapore.
- Get more friends to buy things together- me and ziqian buy 2 Adidas watches together hence the sales retailer give us $10 off each.
- Shop online: I get my both birkenstock online with yanling and friends at the price of $80 which is much cheaper compared to the $140 ++ in the local retail shop.
- Buy perfume from friends working in place with discount: Regina "gwong dai" (working at airport) always help me buy perfumes as she enjoyed staff discount plus duty free, hence is much cheaper than outside market price. Eg. polo blue, polo explorer, starwalker etc.
- Always shop only when there is a sales: i bought my CK undies at cheap price of $10 to 20 only. Recently just bought a crocodile polo and berms total up to $49 only from century square's BHG.
- Buy concerts tickets using student price ($16 tix sold at $11)
- Preparing own breakfast and lunch: ( sandwiches and museli)
- Limit each day expenditures to $10 a day
- Print notes on double side of paper and sell textbooks as much as possible
- Call back home to inform my mum that i will not be home for dinner so that she dont cook my share
- Reduce dining out...sadly but no choice
- On aircon at 25degree to cool the bed, and dont on overnight
- Work, work and more work
These are about all the ways i am using to tighten my financial budget due to the high inflation. Share with me if you have better ways too.
