@chenlaoshi Around Beauty World there are many heartland shops (not just the 2 hawker centres) which accept CDC vouchers. Next time if I spot their displayed stickers I will update here Actually, I wonder if tuition centres renting the heartland spaces accept payment via the vouchers haha…

Thanks, @zac-s-mum. I didn’t really do a “thorough search” but of those shops that I sized up for potential spending at Beauty World Plaza, they didn’t accept CDC vouchers.

@slmkhoo said in Living in Singapore:

@chenlaoshi My family will use what we want of the “hawker” vouchers, then either make a list of things we need from the neighbourhood stores (kitchen stuff, hardware, etc), to use the higher denominations. Or we’ll go for a zichar meal together. That uses up the higher-denomination ones nicely!

Thanks for the suggestion regarding the usage of the higher-denomination vouchers, @slmkhoo. I spent ~90% of last year’s CDC voucher at hawker centre stalls on take-aways and bakeries. Maybe I need to be more “thick-skin” - I felt paiseh to use voucher + cash if I did not have exact amount for the top up as I thought it’s quite troublesome for the hawkers to scan and then give me change (sometimes it’s only 1 person cooking + collecting payment). This resulted in me being unable to “take advantage” whenever I could have used vouchers as part of the payment.

Another issue is the cost of per meal is usually below $5 andI didn’t want to intentionally upsize or get more food at the same stall just to be able to use those $5 and $10 denominations.

I guess the main reason why they have to fix denominations is because they are some who need to use the vouchers in hard copies?

As usual, most supermarkets are offering $6 return vouchers for min. spend of $60 CDC voucher. The duration of offer is so short though (ends on 9 or 12 Jan).

Any new batch coming , next yr right ?

Yea qty reduced, price increases, double. Milk 950ml, milo sticks reduced..next maybe the content weight in each stick?

There is a brand of granola bars where, over the past few months, first the no. of bars in the box was reduced, and I am sure the size of the bars has shrunk too. But the box has remained the same size. The price is about the same.

Sigh… the underlying truth in life is that EVERYTHING will be more expensive over time.

Thanks, @chenlaoshi !

I’ve got my 3 extra $4 tickets Wonder if I can use them all at once or must I again split up my purchases?

I usually calculate for a comparison among similar pdts.

I wish our local supermarkets would be required to state per unit pricing. That will reveal inflation/shrinkflation more clearly.

I remember Milo 3 in 1 used to have 18 sticks/sachets per pack. Now they’re only 16 sticks per pack. Shrinkflation is real

I prefer Milo Gao Siew Dai (less sugar) but it only contains 13 sticks per pack!
