Mai Tu Liao!!!

The 2 Free rides are only for Thursday (which is 23rd Oct)! Up till Midnight!

Oh boy, Uber is really fighting for its share of the pie. It's giving another free rides day!
See? When there's market competition, we, the consumers really win.

I've tried it in their recent free rides day and am pleased to say they really honor their word. My two rides were free. They did have some technical difficulties, charging me for the 2nd ride, but they came through in the end and reversed the charges.

This time around they are issuing some new T&C.
So... IMPORTANT Things to note:

- The free rides cover up to $35 per ride. Anything above will be charged. This is quite reasonable

- Cancellation fee of $2 applies if a ride is confirmed and then you go cancel it. Reasonable too!

- Demand will be high so expect it to be hard to get an Uber taxi! They experienced over the top demand for the first free rides day so they are putting out a disclaimer that you might need to try a few times before you can get a taxi so take note!


Chiong arh!!! Again. :D



Note: Their previous promo.

Buying Hope on a shoe string budget

Save! - NA

The long and the short of it:

Gamble on the odd ToTo or Big Sweep to tempt fate into giving you a windfall. BUT don't overdo it or get hooked!

Additional or local tips!
$1 for ToTo quick pick gets you 1 set of lucky numbers and if there's no queue, you'll be out of the shop in less time than you can say "I want to Huat big ah!"

$3 for the big sweep ticket so you will end up spending $4 a month if you gamble like me. Hehehe I buy my hope on a shoestring budget. :p

-------------------------

This is just a fun post. I don't gamble much. Honestly!
Though that's probably what hardcore gambler's say... Hehehehe


I know that in the long run, the statistics are against me but there's always hope that I may just buy that one winning ticket!

I do enjoy buying the odd lottery ticket about once a month just to tempt lady luck into making me a millionaire.
(There's this Chinese saying... Buying a hope. My Chinese sucks so I can't write it in Chinese characters. Any readers out there that can helpz? lol)


But in the end, I know that I am buying the lottery just for the fun of saying I buy lottery tickets. I'm not ever serious about winning anything and sometimes forget to check my lottery ticket for weeks and months until I find it in the midst of some receipt stacks. 



You should too. Gamble responsibly and never bet more than you can afford to lose!!!




This is just a fun post about the changes in the Singaporean lottery's (ToTo) winning odds. Dollars and Sense website has just done up a calculation of the odds here. (Disclaimer here - I'm not a statistician so I can't confirm the numbers!)

Please don't anyhow gamble!

Cheap Toiletries

Save!  -Depends.

The long and the short of it:

Don't overpay for toiletries!
NTUC, Watsons and Guardian stores sell them at much higher prices than at some smaller neighborhood stores!

Additional or local tips!
Do a super cheap ass combo by using shopping mall vouchers! (Read earlier post here)
And remember to buy above $20 so you can scan the receipts to get shopping mall rewards points if you're shopping in Capitaland Malls.

-------------------------

I used to buy all my toiletries from Watsons or NTUC thinking they were the cheapest.
Oh little did I know how wrong I was... I have since discovered Swanston at Chinatown and one that's closer to home, Venus Beauty at Tampines Mall.


Their shampoo, soap and other hair and facial products are wayyyyyyyy cheaper. You can expect to save between $2-6 per item. *Jaws drop* right...


They may be parallel imports but hey, they work just as well for me so why pay more for the same stuff?

Yahoo Finance has just highlighted this too!
