We Singaporeans love a good deal on our purchases. We didn’t gain an international fame of being “Kiasu” for nothing.
In this article, we are going to embrace the “kiasu” culture and introduce some really useful tools that can help Singaporeans save more!
For Grab And Uber Addicts
It is without a doubt that Grab and Uber’s disruption in the taxi industry is improving the lives of Singaporeans. Not only did they help make up for the shortfall in the taxi industry, consumers are saving on their rides.
One way to save even more is the use of available Promo Codes whenever we book our ride with these apps. These Promo Codes change from time to time and it is not easy to keep up with it.
A really cool initiative by the name of TaxiBot helps one solve such inconvenience. With TaxiBot, consumers can start a chat with them through Facebook Messenger as shown below.

From there, consumers can choose between Uber, Grab, Comfort or all of them for better comparison. The app will generate a list of available Promo Codes, making it really convenient for consumers.

Assuming one takes 6 rides each week, using a S$3 promo code from TaxiBot. He will end up saving close to S$864 that year.
You now have the perfect tool to save more on your rides! You are welcome!
Expected Yearly Savings From TaxiBot: S$864

The simple mechanism behind it is simple. Online e-retailers offer Shopback a commission for referring consumers to shop on their site. With every transaction, Shopback shares this commission with their consumers in form of cashback.
Singaporeans on average, spend S$155 a month, or S$1,860 a year, on retail purchases and travel bookings online. Assuming an average of 5% cashback for all these purchases done on Shopback, one will find himself saving S$93 that year.
We are not really an advocate for excessive spendings on shopping. However, if you must, do shop smarter and save yourself some money!
