Thank you so much Joel! Really appreciate you dropping by.

The prices in this post are in Singapore dollars (S$), so definitely quite affordable. S$1,673 is only about US$1,200, so for eating out 176 times, it’s quite a steal! People think that everything in Singapore is expensive, but you can actually find super affordable food here 🙂

Thank you for showing this to your wife too, means a lot! I love eating out and scoring bargains, so you’ll definitely be seeing more of these kinds of posts here! Will keep you updated 🙂

Hope you’re having a fantastic weekend too!

Love that you track it all and record the bargain surprises! My wife is a foodie and she loves all this – and the photos!

Have a great weekend,
Joel

Hi! You’re right. That definitely makes a lot of sense. I guess I really fell off the wagon in 2019 and ate out way too much. But this year has been going much better. Whenever I’m in the office, I pack lunch so that saves a lot of money. 🙂 It’s great that you get to enjoy Michelin-starred restaurants! I don’t think I’ve reached a level of net worth to enjoy experiences like that guilt-free though. When I have a more stable source of income and am more comfortable with spending, I’ll definitely keep your suggestion in mind. Thanks again 🙂

What I try to do is eliminate the “functional” eating out habits. So, during work I almost never go out for lunch. I cook great meals at home. What I do like to do is go out for dinner once a month to really great places, michelin star style restaurants. It comes out to eating once a month an amazing meal with a great experience for around $80.
