Go Where Use CDC Vouchers? Try These

January is here.

That means we’ll be receiving a new set of CDC vouchers; $300 to spend, half for use at supermarkets.

ICYMI: It’s part of the Assurance Package announced back in Budget 2024.

You can claim and redeem them online at http://go.gov.sg/cdcv

Now, everyone knows we can spend them on heartland food fare and at big supermarkets.

But a bit sian leh.

So the question is: got other lobang or not?

Got.

I scoured the GoWhere Map and found 8 lesser-known ways to use your CDC vouchers beyond the usual hawker and grocery trips.

Load up on daily essentials

CDC Supermarket vouchers may only be used at supermarket chains like FairPrice, Cold Storage and Sheng Siong.

But if you want to utilise the other half on everyday staples like toothpaste and shampoo, then you can consider redeeming them at heartland mini marts.

These mini marts, like Valu$ Store or Jin Tai Mart, are frequently located under or near most void decks, making them easily accessible to everyone.

Pick up a new skill

Want to switch things up this year? Why not use your vouchers to help achieve your New Year’s resolutions?

You can pick up a new instrument like the Ukulele.

Or take baking classes and whip up your favourite pastries, breads and desserts.

If you prefer something more self-led, then stock up on sewing essentials and try your hand by following tutorials online.

Kickstart a more active lifestyle

Alternatively, you could also take advantage of your vouchers to give a new sport a try.

This can include racket sports like badminton or table tennis, cycling or even scuba diving!

And for those nature lovers, there are participating merchants who can help you meet your camping and outdoor needs too.

Indulge in durian

We all need our durian fix now and then.

But it comes at a big price.

Luckily, these days, even durian vendors accept CDC vouchers.

This allows you to use your vouchers and savour the creamy goodness without feeling the pinch in your pocket.

Just remember that durians are a want not a need.

Treat yourself but don’t bite more than you can chew.

Save on your next dental check-up

Dental services in Singapore can sometimes cost upwards of hundreds, to even the thousands.

That’s why you may be glad to hear that most heartland dentists accept CDC vouchers.

Use them to save some money on scaling, polishing or fillings.

Simply put, if you prefer to spend away all your vouchers in one go, then using them to offset your next dental clinic visit is a great idea.

Take the load off your laundry

Using CDC vouchers on your laundry can save you plenty of time, so you can focus on other things that matter to you.

Whether it's for removal of stains, dry cleaning or ironing, you can conveniently drop off your clothes and have them cleaned by professionals.

However, if it’s just for the routine wash and dry, then consider the many laundromats located islandwide. Most operate 24/7, offering you complete flexibility.

Fix your broken belongings

Many neighbourhood repair shops accept CDC vouchers.

This gives us an opportunity to breathe new life into our daily barang-barang that we might otherwise discard.

You could use them to refurbish your phone’s cracked screen.

Replace your watch’s dead battery.

Even give your shoes a second life.

Generally speaking, it beats tossing them. Plus it’s better for the planet.

Dive into your favourite game titles

Console gamers will be delighted to hear that CDC vouchers can be redeemed to purchase their favourite titles across PlayStation, Nintendo or Xbox.

There’s a piece of the action for trading card enthusiasts at heartland stores like Generation Games and War Games too.

Like durians, video games and booster packs are more of want than need.

But it’s nice to know that you can immerse yourself in some downtime without shelling out the actual cash.
