How to save money on food

Do you always find dining out at cool restaurants expensive?

Do you always struggle to remember where you place your discount coupons?

Do you dine out in big groups?

If you have answered "yes" to any of the questions above, this post will change your life.

The brilliant and helpful minds behind the Entertainer have come up with a great solution for everybody - 1 for 1 main course for all dining spots in the app. One does not have to be a maths genius to figure out that this means about 50% discount effectively.

And it comes in the form of an app which you can install on your mobile device. So end of the cumbersome search for the hardcopy coupons in your wallet, or forgetting to bring them out.

Here's a video on how the app works: http://vimeo.com/74910124

There are two subscription modes in the app:

- 1 month for S$19 (and read below for a special promo code which allows u to get it at S$15 only)

- 1 year for S$95

Let me illustrate how it helps to save money for me. Assuming that

- I dine out once every weekend

- that would mean 4 dine outs and hence 4 main courses saved in 1 month

- each main course is approx $20

- total savings = $20 x 4 = $80

- total net savings = $80 - $15 which is cost of app = $ 65 Savings!!

And this is just the most conservative illustration. You can dine out more than once a week. Each restaurant allows you to redeem three 1-for-1 main courses. So if you dine in bigger groups, the savings would triple! Great way to share the app with family and friends.

Besides food, there are other non-dining deals e.g. Spas, grooming, hotels. A total of 1150 vouchers waiting for you. If you use all of them, it will be a total savings of $153k!

I hope you are downloading the app now. The Entertainer gives more bang for buck. Money is hard to earn. Let money work harder for you. I seldom write such posts but this is really something that I believe in.

July promotion

And for the month of July, the Entertainer has collaborated with Kinki Rooftop Bar to offer app users unlimited 1-for-1 Belvedere cocktails when a voucher for main course is used.

Located on the 3 floor of Customs House, Kinki Japanese Rooftop Bar is the answer to how-to-impress-the-crush. Be treated to a panoramic skyline of the Marina Bay area. Tastefully designed with Japanese murals, the bar is a convenient happy watering oasis in the middle of the concrete corporate jungle. The second floor houses the restaurant which serves modern Japanese cuisine. My suggestion for a perfect date: dinner at the restaurant followed by drinks at the rooftop bar.

With the upcoming National Day, my crystal ball warns you to make sure reservations are made to watch the fireworks.
