      This is my biggest weakness lol..the free gifts/promo..

      Last time I seldom eat frozen meat. Started abt around these 2 yrs..very convenient as in can keep but taste wise give and take.. now is mainly buy fresh chicken fm ntuc. The rest mostly from frozen.
      i bought fresh chicken wings, breasts fr market,
      pork, ribs from ntuc or seng siong
      fish fr market, ntuc etc

      chicken wings can just marinate with soy suace,salt, sugar,,pepper etc , air fryer is pretty tasty
      lately frozen chicken wings fr supermarket is quite cheap!

        Agreed totally. 3k from cpf to cover basic cost and supplement with other income source. 5k per month for a couple should be reasonable. Any savings from unused 5k can go towards contingency like adhoc replacement of household items, massage, nearby destination travel. For expansive travel, dip into savings pool

          Yes agree live within our means…I think much or lesser also can survive… if let’s say we don’t have much, then we just live with lesser, bottom line is we still able to live and survive kinda thing.


          Ingredients for boiling soup, I used online coupons and buy in big packets then I take some out from each packet when need to cook. When I used slow cooker, I boil like around 6hrs and now that I changed to pressure cooker, I try to use at least 2x of double boiled timer plus maybe abt 20mins open lid cooking. I m always under impression these cookers don’t use alot of electricity…but if cook using electric plate then power consuming le.

              Mp, I bought fm online frozen meat..coz I bought a standalone freezer right. We always have salmon, seabass, mutton, pork sliced/ribs, prawn, various marinated meat, fishball/fishcake/french fries/patties/sausages etc basically no scared shortage of food. I can make roast pork anytime just need some time to defrost only.

                After reading all the posts here, I have a roughly ideas of the financial position of some registered members here.


                For me, I am a cautious person and it is not my usually practice to disclose my family financial status in a forum because there are so many guests could read my post and I am afraid someone with treacherous intention will mark me as their next Scams "Victim".

                But this is just my thought only.

                      ‘The CPF Basic Retirement Sum (BRS) will also be increased by 3.5 per cent per year for the next five cohorts turning 55 from 2023 to 2027.’

                      Not 3% anymore…

                        I do believe advices given by some mums. I have benefitted much from them. In return, I share my experience and views.
