Hello Panda ...Compares!

DO your Research... Buy only @ a discount

You can easily save another 15%-25% if you do your research, buying only when there is special discount or buying in bulk.

Before you can ever reduce your expenses and increase your savings, you must first know where your money is going to. Many people share the same experience of having no idea where their S$5,000 salary went. 'How did i spent so much money?' i thought that i should have S$1,000 left at the end of the month but it seems to have all disappeared!!!

If you want to be wealthy, do not expect it to happen automatically. You must commit to spend time on your finances.

So, the first step to massively reduce expenses and increase savings is


1. Do your research... Buy only @ a discount

Don't believe???

Let us now do a case study to prove to you.

Durian @ 45% discount!!!

Left: XO Sultan Wang- Not nice. Right: XO D24- Super Yum!! Can buy!!!

Yesterday i was passing by this durian store and i really cant resist the smell of the durians. So i decided to buy.

There are alot of range of durians, got like mao shang wang, Xo, D24..., and they sell quite cheap..starting from S$1 onwards. As i really dun know which range of durian is good, of cos i went to the cheapest corner to choose.Then the durian uncle came and recommand me this XO durian.

He says: This XO durian good! Today you Buy 1 box S$8, you buy 2 box, uncle give you S$10!

Wow! What a deal! Of cos, buy 2 box right. So i happily choose 2 box myself. ( dun allow the uncle to choose for you cos usually they will choose those over-ripe or hard durians for you)

On my way home, i was thinking to myself... chickenbackside, that stupid uncle mark up his price by almost half! Dun know how many carrotheads had died in his hand already... but nevermind, i'm the lucky one. Off to eat my yummy durians.. bye.
