Did you play a prank on someone on April Fools’ Day?

Did you get pranked by your friends?

Or maybe you just sat down and pondered about how stupid the whole celebration is.

Well, it doesn’t matter if you were the perpetrator, victim or a normal human last Thursday (1 Apr) because you’d simply be a fool to not read about this week’s deals.

From discounted food items to online exclusive book sales, you’ll be able to make the most out of this week’s promotions.

S$2.95 Zinger & O.R. Twister For Dine-in / Takeaway

Not a fan of KFC’s fried chicken? Don’t worry because this season, KFC’s running a spate of promotions that cater to everyone’s tastebuds.

From now until 6 May 2021, make your way to your nearest KFC outlet to enjoy two smashing deals.

One is for breakfast hours while the other is for after-breakfast hours.

For just S$2.95, you can get your hands on a Zinger burger or an O.R Twister.

Nice.

Seoul Garden Has A Free BBQ Buffet on Any Day of Your Birthday

Fancy a celebratory birthday dinner at a sumptuous place, but you’re absolutely broke?

Well, here’s Seoul Garden to the rescue.

According to their Facebook page, birthday boys and girls will now be able to dine at the barbecue arena for free.

 

And they even have the luxury of picking any day within their birthday month!

However, like everything else that sounds too good to be true, there will be terms and conditions involved.

For one, you can’t go alone. You’ll need to be accompanied by at least three paying adults, though the requirement has been somewhat relaxed to include other promotional deals as well.

That is to say, the three paying adults do not necessarily have to fork out the full amount and can apply for other ongoing deals such as Student or Senior Citizen prices.

The promotion is only available at their Marina Square outlet, so please refrain from wearing your birthday suit to your nearest Seoul Garden outlet and demanding a free meal. You’ll get it, but probably only behind bars.

Last but not least, you’ll need proof of identity to get through those birthday scanners. So I’m afraid that you can’t just, for lack of a better phrase, smoke your way through.

But if you do manage to fulfil all the given criteria, you’re in for a definite treat.

As the buffet site announced so cheerily, you will be entitled to the great ambience and great service, a general blast and the perk of eating to your absolute heart’s content.

Address: 6 Raffles Boulevard, #03-210, Singapore 039594

Opening hours: 11:30am–10:30pm (last serving: 9:45pm)

Phone (Marina Square outlet): 6339 1339

Beginner’s Guide To Cooking Your Own Meals

Lobang: https://www.moneydigest.sg/beginners-guide-to-cooking-your-own-meals/

Nothing screams “labor of love” louder than preparing a homecooked meal for your family. Apart from showing your affection, cooking your own meals can help you save a lot of money. With the wealth of information available online, where do you begin?

KEY BENEFITS OF COOKING AT HOME

1. Cooking at home can help you save money. In most cases, cooking your own means are cheaper than eating out. There are several factors contributing to the reduced price of your meal. For starters, cooking at home enables you to opt for affordable ingredients. Moreover, you will have the power to create your own meal plans and shopping lists. Lastly, you can reheat your leftovers when you do not have time to cook.

2. Cooking at home allows you to connect with those around you. You do not have to be a distinguished chef to prepare delicious meals with your loved ones. Spend quality time together by allowing your kids decorate the desserts you have baked or by preparing a romantic dinner with your partner.

“Cooking is all about people. Food is maybe the only universal thing that really has the power to bring everyone together. No matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people eat together.” ~ Guy Fieri

3. Cooking at home encourages control in food portions, especially for people with dietary restrictions. Restaurants do not rely on your preferred food portions. They serve you plates based on their standard portions instead. To get the most out of your money, you will likely finish the entire plate. In contrast, preparing your meals allows you to be more intentional with food servings. Filling your plate with what you can finish aids in reducing waste.

4. Cooking at home enables you to choose healthier options. Fast food typically glistens with high chemical additives, sugar, sodium, and so on. Eating fast food regularly can negatively affect your weight and mood. Eat fresh and wholesome meals by making your own food. Eating healthy meals can make you feel energized on the inside and out.

TIPS ON GETTING STARTED

1. Ask a friend to teach you the basics. Do you know someone who is kitchen savvy? Perhaps, he or she can teach you some of the cooking basics (e.g., steam, fry, and sauté). You can even invite your closest friends for a private “cooking tutorial” via Skype or Zoom.

2. Learn from a local cooking class. Many affordable culinary programs are offered at CCs islandwide. The prices of these classes start from S$16.66. Choose wisely as some of these classes are merely demonstrations with food tasting. Check out the class descriptions and book a slot in the OnePA portal.

3. Keep things simple! Start with the easy recipes and work your way from there. Learn how to sauté veggies, boil egg, and steam chicken. Add herbs, spices, or your secret sauce. Look for quick and tasty dishes online.

4. Give yourself a room for improvement. It is alright to burn the rice or overcook the noodles in your first cooking sessions. After several attempts, things will get easier and tastier. Continue practicing at home.

As time passes, cooking will no longer become a chore. Do not give up!

The Millionaire Mind

Peeps who are keen to explore further the interaction of mindset and wealth, Stanley’s writings can offer a glimpse into the millionaire’s headspace.

We will close our list with one of the classic books on wealth creation and financial success. Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich“ lets you in on money-making secrets inspired by Andrew Carnegie’s magic formula for success.
