Gone are the days when you had to rely on the Telco to offer you handsets at a discounted prices when you sign on a contract with them. Now that Telcos are forced to slash prices due to competition, it is even more so, because their margin doesn’t allow them to dangle handsets to lure … [Read more…]
I think most people will be wondering what a suction pump can be used for. This one is actually meant to be used for vacuum packing blanket, comforter, bedsheet and the like, to reduce the space needed for storage. As such, it is quite a heavy duty pump, designed to draw a lot of air out in as … [Read more…]
Note: this post is from 2016. Please read my updated posting about Taobao shipping. To a newbie, i think Taobao shipping options is too hard to comprehend. To simplify things, Taobao has come up with Taobao Global Direct Shipping, which probably works well for newbies. In this posting, i discuss the pros and cons of … [Read more…]
My second Honestbee delivery came exactly on time at 12pm (my selected slot was 12 – 1pm), so, bravo on that. Only half the items i ordered were fulfilled, which is great – it means i’m getting a higher percentage of discount (43% to be exact). This makes me picture an imaginary scene in Honestbee’s … [Read more…]
This is my second time buying the Coopers beer kit from Amazon. As expected, I received a dented can. This is the price you pay in exchange for a 25% discount. This time round, the sachet of yeast was missing as well, which was what also happened to some other Amazon product reviewers. Thankfully the … [Read more…]

Some of the … [Read more…]
I never thought i would use Honestbee again, but they actually came up with an incentive attractive enough – $28 (taking into account the $2 concierge shopping fee) off a $120 purchase, which is almost 25%. For those who buy milk powder or diapers, $120 is a target that is quite easy to hit, but not quite so for me. … [Read more…]
I never thought this would happen, but Qoo10 is now also on Shopback. All along i thought Qoo10 was doing well enough, but i guess all businesses need avenues to capture new customers. That makes life slightly more difficult for me – i need to keep track of promotions on Qoo10 that gives me discount coupons, accumulate … [Read more…]
Qoo10 does a lot of promotions, and the most recent one caught my attention – Super Sale coupon, whereby you get $10 off $50 and above purchase. That’s a 20% discount, which is not bad (unfortunately this promotion is already over in case you’re wondering). There is also the weekly (every Wednesday) Mastercard coupons promotion, whereby … [Read more…]
Ingredient of the day – leftover Prata curry sauce. That probably sounds crazy to you, but, yes, that’s how frugal i am (and that’s why you should read my “spend-thrift” articles if you share the same interest on saving money). Well, since the curry sauce is already so tasty, why not make use of it? I … [Read more…]
