Start off with 2 essential items you shouldnt save on, a comfortable bed and a pair of shoes. Thats because you spend the most amount of time in them (generally 8 hours in bed and 8 hours in shoes - working).

For other items

Long term like electronics/furniture go for quality and worth the price

Short term go for lowest price point/sales and worth the price

worth the price (example)

  • instead of price factor alone doing your due diligence and calculations like on toilet paper, divide the price point down to the ply and amount of sheets in a roll​​​

You can get generally cheaper hair/body care and some household products here compared to supermarkets πŸ™ƒ https://www.venusbeauty.com.sg/

1) Water dispenser
Must be tankless and just connect straight to water pipe. Must have hot, cold, room temperature water. You never have to waste your time boiling water again!! (Brands like eg. Ruhens, wells, hydroflux, etc..)

2) Dishwasher
The bigger the better! Just throw everything in to wash. You save so much time, water AND dishwashing liquid! When you have baby and so many milk bottles, just throw everything in!

3) Dyson vacumn cleaner
Or any cordless vacumn cleaner. It makes cleaning the house so much easier! If you have young kids, robot vacumns don't work as well because you'll have too many toys lying around the house πŸ˜‚

4) Nespresso machine
I don't drink 3-in-1 coffee because it's laden with sugar and not so good beans. When you're busy you just don't have the time to brew good coffee all the time. Nespresso is the solution to consistent good coffee! The machine and pods are not expensive either. You can also subscribe to hook coffee for cheaper pods.

5) DRYER!!!
I don't have a dryer. I own a laundry system at home that costs as much as a dryer. I curse and swear every time I have to hang my clothes and push them out to dry. We are working adults with 2 kids and only have time to do our laundry on weekends. If it rains on weekends, we have so many clothes hanging indoor and can't dry them effectively! I regret not getting a dryer!! Next house I confirm will buy so I can do my laundry on weekday nights too.

6) Xiaomi automatic soap dispenser
Recently due to covid19 I bought it from shopee to make soap dispensing easier. My daughter loves it! I also love it cos no need to keep nagging at her to wash her hands πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Tide FeBreeze Sports Laundry detergent

If you're into doing sports or sweaty person in this Sg heat, this is the laundry detergent you need.

I tried many types of detergents for sports and sweaty clothes. This is the only one that works to clean and dry without stink.

Some laundry detergent just wastes your time, water, money and effort as clothes still stink after washing.

Although it's a bit pricier at $11.90-14.90 usual price for a 1+L bottle. It lasts a long time as a small amount (less than the recommendation is required) is needed to wash cleanly. Usually I buy it on promotion $9.90 at cold storage, redmart or even Shopee P&G store.

try it! ​​​
