******************************************

My personal preference:

1) The Cathay : love the cinema: you get to enjoy movies in relatively new theatres with nice comfortable seats.. ample parking space with reasonable parking fee, and cheapest of all at only $6 (UOB) for weekdays  and $7.10 (NTUC U-voucher) for weekend.

Disadvantages: If you want to get good seats, you are advised to do online booking first, however, the website is rather more tedious as the loading page takes ages….

2) GV Marina / Vivo City (Marina is more geographically centralized and more shopping areas to do at Suntec City, Marina Square, Bugis, Raffles City etc.. Theatre is relatively new and good sound systems. Next cheapest with $6.50 (DBS Fresh) for weekdays and $7.50 (HSBC) for weekend.

Just added some features to complete the layout of my blog.

You can subscribe to my RSS feeds via the little embossed button at the top right hand corner.

Thought of a few categories to begin my research and review on.. To name a few:

(1) Local Cinema Comparison, which cinema in Singapore offers better privileges and what are the privileges etc.

(2) Our Daily Needs Store: Guardian, Watson, Sa Sa and Neighborhood Shops. What cards entitle you to cheaper deals, generally which categories of products are cheaper at which outlet etc.

This is something that I would normally try to compare first before making my purchases.. Indeed, I would love to find ways to reduce spending in my daily routine without affecting my needs & wants.

I guess at the end of the day, we just want to be able to pamper ourselves but using more cost effective methods…

Cheers !!
