Jen's money saving hack

In this tech era, it is undeniable that our lives have been made much more convenient. Almost everything can be accessed from our phones, even our wallets. In a move to encourage people to go cashless, NETS has started a promo that allows you to get $0.50 off every transaction(that's at least $1.50) when you make a payment using your mobile app at participating hawker centres and tertiary institution canteens, from April 1st to May 31st.

Think about it, you get $0.50 off your meal, when this is accumulated over the week(s), you save quite a lot of money tbh. I have been using this at NYP since the start of the promo and I can safely say that the app is very simple to use, it's very very convenient and it doesn't take up a lot of time. Also, it has helped me save on my food expenses too haha xD Examples of food I had that I thought was super worth it:

1. A plate of economic veg rice ($1.70 after discount)

2. Mushroom soup ($1 after discount)

3. Latte($1.80 after discount)

However, here's a disclaimer: while the idea of not bringing your wallet along to work sounds good(I mean less weight added to your bag), there will be times when the connection at some stalls may not work, so my advice would be to just bring along your wallets just in case cashless payments can't be accepted/processed.

Also, the info I got above was from the NETS website, you can visit it for more info too: https://www.nets.com.sg/promotions/go-cashless-for-your-everyday-meals!/

Here's to saving up hehe:")
