As of today (14 Jun), we have officially upgraded to Phase 3 (Heightened Alert). But since we sadly have to wait another week for dine-ins to resume, we’ll have to stick to tabao-ing for now.

And we’ve got just the thing for you: a handy guide to the hottest deals this week to help you and your poor wallet tide through this last week of home confinement!

These are the 10 Best-est Deals Happening This Week (14 Jun–20 Jun) That Kiasu Singaporeans Cannot Miss.

1. Qoo10 Free Cart Coupons Worth $8

For those who like to spend their days at home mindlessly scrolling through online shopping platforms, this one’s for you.

Qoo10 has started a Weekday Shopping Spree promotion today (14 Jun), which will run till 17 June 2021 23:59. Under this promotion, with a minimum purchase of S$50, you’ll receive a S$8 cart coupon to dock off your total expenditure.

However, do be sure to move fast, since these coupons are limited to only 100,000 applicants daily. Each applicant can also redeem their coupons only once.

These coupons are only valid and may be redeemed during the event period, and are only available within Qoo10 Singapore. Entries received after the event period will be deemed as invalid and no refunds will be made.

Time to shop till you drop!

For more information, you can visit Qoo10 Singapore’s website.

Promotional period: Till 17 Jun 2021 (23:59)

2. AirAsia 1-Cent Meal

Everyone laments over food prices going up, but it looks like AirAsia said, “Haha, not our food prices though.”

AirAsia is having what they call their “1 Meal, 1 Cent!” promotion, which is evidently very self-explanatory. You can pay just S$0.01 (read: one cent) for a different signature dish every day until 17 June.

You read that right: just one cent.

If the price doesn’t tempt you (which is highly unlikely), you can check out the upcoming line-up of participating F&B brands:

• 14 Jun: The Old Novena Kitchen (Thomson Road)
• 15 Jun: Woobbee (Tampines North)
• 16 Jun: Lao Hung Jia Hainanese Chicken Rice (Taman Jurong Market & Food Centre)
• 17 Jun: Straits Chinese Nyonya Restaurant (Esplanade Mall)

You can check out AirAsia’s website to find out what you can order from each brand, as well as to find out more about this campaign.

Do note that the offer is only applicable to the foods that each brand lists on AirAsia’s website, and that it is only valid for one redemption per day per AirAsia member. You also have to key in the promo code <1CENT> at the payment page to enjoy this offer.

Promotional period: Till 17 Jun 2021

3. Free Starbucks Drinks

Mm, nothing hits the spot like a cold drink on a blazing hot day. The only thing that could make it better would be if the cold drink was free.

Starbucks Singapore will be giving away free drinks to those who make their very first purchase on Mobile Order & Pay! What’s more, any drink customisations (e.g. extra syrup, espresso shots, etc.) are all complimentary as well.

Considering that Starbucks is pretty pricey, I’d say this is a steal!

Your first purchase doesn’t have to be limited to drinks; you can also get food—and both can be of any price. Your order will be credited into your Starbucks Rewards account as 60 Bonus Stars within an hour of your purchase. (Hint: 60 Stars can get you a free drink!)

Promotional period: Till 20 Jun 2021

4. McDonald’s DC Superhero Happy Meal Toys

Okay, so maybe this isn’t exactly a conventional deal, in the sense that it doesn’t really make your wallet lighter.

But even still, we felt fit to include it because firstly, it’s a free toy and secondly, it’s DC.

From now till 23 June 2021, get a DC superhero doll with every Happy Meal purchase!

Designs will be switched every Thursday, 11:00 am. You can check out the full range of available designs below:

Aren’t these dolls literally the cutest? DC fans, be sure to get your hands on them if you can!

Promotional period: Until 23 June 2021

Locations: Click here to find your nearest McDonald’s outlet

5. Sign up With YouTrip & Get $15 Off at Taobao

Another deal for another online shopping platform. And this one’s really easy to get.

For those without a YouTrip account, they can stand to get $15 off their next purchase on Taobao. All they need to do is sign up with YouTrip and key in the promo code <YT15> while signing up.

They are then entitled to a free $5 in their account when they activate their card, and another $10 cashback on a Taobao purchase by 31 July, with no minimum spending required.

But don’t worry, existing YouTrip users get a little something too! The first 1,000 users can register for a $5 cashback on their next Taobao purchase by 31 July.

Promotional period: Till 27 Jun (for new users) & 31 Jul (for existing users)

6. Limited Edition BTS-Themed Coffee in 7-Eleven

BTS are back to light it up like “Dynamite”!

This is another deal that doesn’t really lighten your wallet, but hey, BTS fans will be happy to know that BTS will be appearing in 7-Eleven first while we wait for them to show up in our local McDonald’s.

Starting 11 June, the famous K-pop group has partnered with HY Coffee to release a limited edition HY Coffee Range. There are three coffee flavours you can choose from:

• Cold Brew Americano (270ml)
• Hot Brew Vanilla Latte (270ml)
• Macadamia Mocha Latte (270ml)

Each flavour has seven different designs, one for each member of BTS.

BTS fans can not only enjoy coffee that’s smooth like “Butter”, but also have another collectible to add to their BTS shrines (except these bottles are probably more durable than the McDonald’s paper bags).

(Coincidentally, BTS also has a song called “Coffee”. Maybe this is foreshadowing and we’ll see them partnering with a butter brand next?)

These are only while stocks last, but judging from the global response to the BTS McDonald’s Meal, I don’t think these coffees will be available for long. So run like “Fire” and grab them quick.

7. CHICHA San Chen Bubble Tea At Just $1

It appears that Taiwanese bubble tea chain CHICHA San Chen has done the bubble tea community (which is practically the whole of Singapore) a great service with its latest deal.

From now till 13 July 2021, swing by CHICHA San Chen’s AMK Hub or Jurong Point outlet to redeem any bubble tea order for just S$1!

To redeem, simply purchase a M Mall voucher via their app.

It should be noted that the voucher is also applicable for Share Tea’s Jurong Point outlet and MuYoo+’s Jurong Point outlet.

Promotional period: Till 13 Jul 2021

Lobang: https://www.moneydigest.sg/a-climate-activist-says-its-impossible-to-tackle-climate-change-solely-on-individual-efforts/

Other than the ongoing pandemic, climate change’s the rage right now.

That’s why our country’s environment minister recently noted that Singapore is facing twin challenges from climate change. The problems Grace Fu is referring to are coastal floods and extreme rainstorms that could result in more intense inland flooding.

Some people may think it’s not something to worry about excessively at the moment, considering the trend to live in the present. But do you know the potential impact climate change can have on our lives?

Here’s a good look at some findings from the National Climate Change Studies:

Live in Singapore long enough, and you would have constantly read or heard about attempts to reduce carbon footprint. This includes messages by the authorities or corporations to uphold the 3Rs and switch off lights when not in use.

But are individual efforts enough to tackle climate change? A climate activist begs to differ.

Governments can do more for cooling

One common method recommended by authorities to reduce carbon footprint is to reduce the usage of air-conditioners for cooling. But do you know that home air-conditioning only contributes to 2% of carbon emissions in Singapore?

Climate activist Ho Xiang Tian said in his commentary that there are alternative cooling methods to consider. For example, authorities can paint the exterior walls of buildings white to reduce heat gain. They can also plant more trees to bring down surrounding temperatures.

An individual simply can’t implement the above solutions alone.

Education efforts needed on recycling

Reducing our waste is also another familiar call by the authorities to do our part for the climate. Even so, one should be aware that domestic waste only accounts for a quarter of the total waste generated in Singapore.

Yes, we agree that 25% may be no considerable number, but it’s not tiny either. That’s why education efforts on recycling have to be increased. Just do a soul-search and ask yourself if you ever use the blue bin below your HDB block. Even if you do, are you using the proper method to recycle?

Just so you know, 40% of recyclables in these blue bins are contaminated and cannot be recycled. Thus, they are sent for incineration instead. This defeats the ultimate purpose of recycling from the start, isn’t it?

Maybe it’s about time for the government to review existing measures to increase recycling rates.

Biodegradable disposables aren’t any better

There are numerous local shops and retailers offering biodegradable alternatives, all in the name of love for the environment.

But what these businesses and their consumers do not know is that waste is burned in Singapore, not buried in landfills. This means these products cannot degrade and aren’t very different from the impact of plastics, considering how waste in Singapore is managed.

According to a 2017 lifecycle analysis authorised by the National Environment Agency (NEA), biodegradable disposables that contain plastic and additives might do more harm than good.

This leads us to question if allowing the sale of biodegradable disposables in our little red dot is necessary.

Final thoughts

With all that mentioned above, while individual efforts contribute to a certain extent, living more sustainably is merely on a personal level. To scale this up and truly mitigate climate change, a bigger picture has to be considered.
