iHerb.com discount coupon code SKP520

Good news! I had just bought some stuffs from iHerb.com and found this :

There is this January Special where every customer is a VIP customer! Also, if you order $200.00 or more during this month, (instead of the required cumulative $2,000.00) your account will be elevated to VIP account, ongoing!

Apart from that, there is also January 2013 - DHL Challenge where DHL has offered a new set of discounts for some countries. For purchase above $60.00, there is up to 95% off DHL published rates!


So you had guessed right, of course I had bought lots of things in order to meet the VIP life-long account requirement ;)

Cheap pseudo Crocs Beach Clogs

Guess what I had done when I was in China? Of course lots of shopping! In the end I ended up buying 2 new luggage bags to fit in all my stuffs to bring back home :)

In fact I had been thinking of getting this Crocs Beach Clog for quite some time. I tried it in one of Crocs' store at Plaza Singapura last month. But the price was around SGD 55 !

Then I found it at a range of USD 18 - 30 at Amazon, as shown below :

But in the end, I found something that looks a bit different but feels about the same in comfort level at one of the city in China for less than SGD 20 per pair!


And of course in the end I bought nearly a dozen of them back in different sizes and colors for relatives ;)

Money Saving Tips

Here's some money saving tips for you all in tackling impending recession :)


1. The Envelope System

You decide in advance what your grocery budget & eating out budget will be (realistically, not just penny pinching). Then you put that amount of cash in an envelope labeled food. Make a grocery list & only purchase the items on your list. The important part is, when you're out of cash, don't charge the rest. You have to budget wisely. This is hard especially when eating out. You have to decide when there's no more cash in the eating out envelope, then don't eat outside! You will be amazed how effective this system works ;)


2. Use countdown / preset timer to limit the use of electrical appliances

Another way to save money is by limiting the amount of electricity usage via countdown / preset timer. For example, preset the time when the lights are on and off, preset how long the storage heater should run, and so on. This could help in preventing electrical energy wastage due to forgetfulness. Hope this helps :)


3. Use Front Load Washing Machine instead of Top Load Washing Machine

Front Load Washer use less than a quarter amount of water compared to Top Load Washer per wash ! And it wash cleaner too!


4. Use LED lightbulbs

Even though the startup cost of using LED lightbulbs are expensive, but it does save more $$ in terms of electricity bill and longer lifetime. I myself use a lot of them at home :)


5. Use electric fan instead of aircon

I am sure a lot of people know about this but unable to giveup the luxury of using aircon. In that case, how about using both alternately?
