Best Singapore Promos & Deals This Month, September 2026: XIN CUISINE'S 1-FOR-1 MOONCAKES ARE $42 A BOX TO 21 SEP, BUT ITS TWO SIGNATURE BOXES GET 15%, NOT THE 30% ON ITS OWN BANNER

**Four Star runs a three-day BTO Home Sale at SAFRA Mount Faber (Level 2, 2 Telok Blangah Way, S098803) from Friday 11 to Sunday 13 September 2026.** Check the hours twice: Four Star's poster says 10am to 9pm on all three days, while its own website says 11am to 10pm on the first two and 11am to 9pm on the Sunday, so **the window both agree on is 11am to 9pm**. The banner's **up to 80% off is attached to premium mattresses only** (ArcticSilk Aire Flex, Tencel, Back Support, Chiro BioPlus, ArcticSilk Metex). Everything else is a starting price: **designer bedframes from $299, storage bedframes from $499, sofas and recliners from $299, bedding accessories from $69**. The showpiece package (Back Support mattress with designer bedframe + 3-seater sofa + solid wood dining set) is **$1,888 against a stated U.P. of $3,988**, a real $2,100 saving but **53% off, not 80%**. The catch worth knowing: the free gift ladder starts at a **$2,000** minimum spend (travel pillow), rising to travel luggage or a latex pillow at $3,000 and a vacuum cleaner at $4,000, so **the $1,888 package finishes $112 short of the cheapest gift**. Bedding starts at $69, so one add-on clears it. Included on every purchase: **no GST (absorbed), free delivery, free 1-for-1 mattress disposal, free parking and a taxi claim refunded at checkout**. The 0% instalment is card-gated to DBS, POSB, OCBC and AMEX; Atome (3x) and PayLater by Grab (4x) are the alternatives. Bus stop SAFRA Mt Faber 14281 (124, 131, 195/195A). The hours clash, the package maths and the gift ladder in full.

**Disney has confirmed on its own site that DisneyStore.asia stops trading in Singapore after 30 September 2026, with a hard last-order time of 11.59pm that night.** Singapore has no standalone Disney Store, so the website **is** the official Disney Store here, and after that date there is no first-party Disney channel in the country. Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia lose the same site; Disney Store Japan, the US, the UK and EU, China, Korea, the Philippines and the Middle East are unaffected. **The sale page is labelled "Up to 40% Off", but the deepest markdowns in the grid are a shade over 50%**, which is the reverse of the usual clearance trick: the **Mickey Mouse Halloween Light-Up Wreath is S$74.90 from S$149.90 (save S$75)**, the **Mickey and Minnie Light-Up Jack-o'-Lantern S$57.90 from S$115.90**, the Cheshire Cat Glow-in-the-Dark Hooded Blanket S$33.90 from S$65.90, the Hyacinth Hippo Plush S$27.90 from S$55.90 and the Pluto 95th Anniversary Collectible Key S$9.90 from S$19.90. The second offer is **not** a basket discount: Spend & Save gives **40% off one nominated add-on once you spend above S$70, and the add-on itself does not count towards that S$70**, must go in the bag before checkout, and cannot stack except with shipping and other spend-and-save offers. **That same S$70 is also the free standard delivery threshold**, so one basket unlocks both. **Two catches nobody flagged:** the clearance leans hard on Halloween stock while **the store shuts a month before 31 October**, and Disney's FAQ tells shoppers to note **recent changes to its returns policy without linking the policy**, with no returns page left in the footer. Disney also states **sold-out products are not expected to return**, and several lines already show Low in Stock, so **Singapore-exclusive items and the Disney Store Japan import range vanish with the site** and are not carried by local authorised retailers. Full breakdown

**Burger King Singapore is giving a Dragon Ball Super figure with every King Jr. Meal from 7 September 2026, and its own campaign banner shows a staggered release, not a lucky dip.** Six figures, one new character a week: **Goku from 7 Sep, Vegeta from 14 Sep, Piccolo from 21 Sep, Super Saiyan Blue Goku from 28 Sep, Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta from 5 Oct, Beerus from 12 Oct.** The deal write-ups published on 7 September describe all six handed out at random, which is the **American** campaign that Burger King and Toei Animation launched in the US and Canada on 1 September with a gacha mechanic and an adult Power Up Pack. Singapore is different: BK numbers the figures Week 1 to Week 6 with a start date under each, so **if you want Beerus, going in September will not get you Beerus.** The mechanic the banner does print in full is **one figure per King Jr. Meal, while stocks last.** What Burger King has **not** published is almost everything else: **no King Jr. Meal price anywhere on its own site** (the menu page renders client-side with no prices in the source, and the Offer and Coupon pages carry only the S$6.20 Value Your Way and the S$9.50 5-in-1, neither a King Jr. Meal), **no closing date** beyond while-stocks-last, **no participating-outlet list**, and no wording making the figures app-exclusive even though the banner links to the BK app. **A full set is six King Jr. Meals across six separate weeks**, and the two Super Saiyan Blue figures in weeks 4 and 5 are the ones resale will chase. Full breakdown

**Crocs Singapore is running its 9.9 Flash Sale online only at crocs.com.sg, 30% off almost everything plus a doorbuster tier badged up to 50% off, with checkout closing 11.59pm on 9 September 2026.** There is no promo code: the discount is already in the product page price. **The 50% is one shoe.** Across the 41 items on the sale rail, only the Bayaband Flip in White/Navy hits a true half price at **S$27.48 from S$54.95**, and when we opened it on 7 September, women's 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 were all out of stock, leaving women's 6 and 7. Every other doorbuster is 40%: Baya Platform Clog $59.97 (was $99.95), Baya Sandal $35.97 (was $59.95), Baya II Flip $29.97 (was $49.95). **The deepest cut is not on that rail at all.** The InMotion LiteRide Micro Geo Clog in black is **S$51.95 from S$104.95**, which Crocs' own page prints as 51%, and it carries only the ordinary 30% badge. **The one people want:** Classic Clog **S$52.46 from S$74.95**, with some colours at $51.95. Also Women's Classic Platform Clog $69.96 (was $99.95), Bayaband Clog $59.46 (was $84.95), Echo Clog $76.96 (was $109.95), Crocband Flip $34.96 (was $49.95), Specialist II Work Clog $48.96 (was $69.95). **Excluded:** collabs and licensed lines, existing sale stock, some new styles and every bag we checked, though a Rectangle Luggage Tag is $10.47 from $14.95. **Two thresholds:** free shipping from S$70, so one clog at $52.46 does not clear it, and a free luggage tag or sale Jibbitz pack from S$149. **Ignore the page heading:** it still advertises April's 4.4 campaign and a Buy 2 Get 1 Free that is not running. **Full breakdown →**

**Seoul Yummy is closing its last remaining outlet at Kallang Wave Mall on 22 October 2026, and Gratify Group is retiring the brand rather than relocating it.** Founded in 2008 and widely credited with popularising army stew in Singapore, the chain once traded at ION Orchard, Bugis+ and Marina Square; its own Locate Us page now lists exactly one address. **The offer:** 18% off the signature Korean army stew from now to the closing day, marking 18 years. Off the brand's own menu that is **$43.80 down to $35.92** on the Daebak, Cheesy Odeng and Jja Jang pots (save $7.88) and **$44.80 down to $36.74** on the Spicy Seafood pot (save $8.06). These are sharing pots, so the saving lands across a table of two or three. **The catch is the mechanic:** there is no code, no app and no voucher. A staff member applies it, and you trigger it by saying **"I will miss Seoul Yummy"**, so say it when you order and not after the bill prints. **The second catch:** it is described as covering the signature army stew, which on Seoul Yummy's own menu is a different section from the $14.80 to $16.80 Mini Army Stew and from the $43.80 to $44.80 Cheese Pot range, and no written terms have been published, so ask at the counter first. Kallang Wave Mall, 1 Stadium Place #01-47, daily 11am to 9.30pm with **last order at 9pm**. Go before the final week: a restaurant with 18 years of regulars will be mobbed on the last day, and the mall sits beside the National Stadium. The closure, the full price table and what the 18% does not cover.

**Starbucks Singapore is running 25% off storewide from 7 to 13 September 2026, at any store in Singapore.** There is no promo code and nothing to unlock in the app: save the voucher image, buy a **minimum of 2 items in a single transaction**, and show the image at the counter when you pay. The discount lands on the whole eligible transaction, not on a second item, so two eligible items totalling $20 come to $15. **The word to check is storewide.** Starbucks' own voucher carries five exclusions: Reserve and Weave exclusive beverages; merchandise with engraving services; **Mooncake Gift Boxes**, in the week people start buying them; **brand collaboration merchandise, and Starbucks names both lines, Jay Chou and Mofusand**; and discounted items. **The catch most people will hit:** it cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion, reward or discount, so the $12.90 Voucher Pack sold 1 to 6 September (vouchers valid 10 days from purchase, so still live this week) and this 25% cannot ride in the same transaction. It also cannot buy or reload a Starbucks Card. In-store purchases only. **The Jay Chou tell:** Starbucks listing Jay Chou as an exclusion for 7 to 13 September confirms that collection lands in Singapore inside this window (reported as 9 September, a date not printed on Starbucks' own artwork), and the 25% will not apply to it. Full terms, the five exclusions and which voucher to use.

**Xin Cuisine, the Cantonese restaurant on Level 4 of Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium, is selling its 2026 "Never Just a Mooncake" collection two ways at once, and neither page says which to take.** One is **1-for-1**, where the price on the page buys **two boxes** of the same flavour and the same box design (Blush Pink or Sandy Beige), on **10 flavours**. The other is a flat **30% off**, applied automatically at checkout on the single-box listings. **They do not stack**, and we settled that in the store's own cart on 7 September rather than reading the banner: a 1-for-1 box of Low Sugar White Lotus with Single Yolk stayed at its full **$92.00 with no discount line at all**, despite the 1-for-1 page saying prices are "before discount", while the identical flavour bought as a single box fell from **$92.00 to $64.40** under a line the cart names "Snowskin and Traditional Mooncake Discount [30% OFF]". So the 1-for-1 is worth about **50%** and beats the 30% on every flavour that has one. **The trap:** both listings carry the identical headline price, so two boxes bought off the single-box page cost **$128.80 instead of $92.00**, a $36.80 mistake with no warning on either page. Cheapest way in is **$84 for two six-piece mini snowskin boxes**, which is **$42 a box and $7.00 a piece**, in Elderflower Apple, Orange Whiskey (both new for 2026), Lychee Martini, Pandan Champagne or Peach Oolong; Peranakan Durian and the Assorted box are $90 for two ($45 a box); baked low-sugar white lotus is $86 no yolk, $92 single yolk and $96 double yolk for two four-piece boxes. **The bigger catch:** the two **Signature Series** boxes, Mini Baked Egg Custard with Yolk ($84, 6 pieces) and Teochew Yam Paste with Single Yolk ($92, 4 pieces), have **no 1-for-1 twin**, and the cart applies a separate **"Signature Mooncake Discount [15% OFF]"** to them, landing at **$71.40 and $78.20**. That is neither the 30% the collection banner advertises nor the **20% printed on their own product pages**, and it puts the Teochew yam box at $19.55 a piece against $7.00 on the snowskins. **Deadlines:** order by **Mon 21 Sep 2026**, allow **at least 3 days**, and collect **12pm to 8pm daily to Thu 24 Sep** at the Mooncake Collection Point, Level 1, 317 Outram Road. Mid-Autumn is **Fri 25 Sep**, so the counter shuts the day before the festival. Delivery is **$40 nett per location islandwide**, a 48% surcharge on an $84 order, so self-collect. Snowskin must be frozen within an hour and keeps a week; the Signature boxes keep only 3 days. Sesame Negroni and Passion Fruit are still listed at $82 but are **sold out on every variant**. Full breakdown and the price table for all 12 boxes.

**Pizza Hut Singapore's all-you-can-eat buffet returns for 12 days, every Thursday to Sunday from 10 to 27 September 2026, 11am to 10pm with last seating at 8:30pm and 90 minutes of non-stop dining once you sit down.** The headline every repost is running with is **$19.95++ per adult on Thursday and Friday, $22.95++ on Saturday and Sunday**, with children aged 4 to 10 at $10.95++ and $12.95++. **What none of them printed is that there are two price lists.** The campaign's own key-details table splits the six outlets into **three Dine-In stores** (Compass One, Tiong Bahru Plaza, Bukit Panjang Plaza), which quote those figures as **++**, and **three Eat-In stores** (Heartbeat@Bedok, Wisteria Mall, Buangkok Square Mall), which quote **$21.75 and $11.95 on Thursday and Friday, $25.00 and $14.10 on Saturday and Sunday** and state that those are **inclusive of GST**. Line them up and the arithmetic gives it away: **$19.95 x 1.09 = $21.75** and **$22.95 x 1.09 = $25.00**, so the base buffet price is identical everywhere and the only difference is that **the Eat-In stores levy no service charge**. At the usual 10% service charge plus 9% GST, a Thursday adult settles about **$23.92** at a Dine-In store against a flat **$21.75** at an Eat-In store, a gap of **$2.17**; on a Saturday it is about **$27.52 against $25.00**, a gap of **$2.52**. Two adults and two children pay roughly **$86.10 Dine-In against $78.20 Eat-In on a Saturday**, a $7.90 difference on the same meal. **The trade-off:** the Eat-In menu is not identical. It carries **no French Fries at all**, and serves **baked** pastas (Mac N Cheese with Chicken Bacon, Chicken Royale) where the Dine-In stores serve **sauteed** ones (Mushroom Aglio Olio, Chicken Pomodoro). Everything else is shared: six pizzas with **crust type fixed to flavour** (Hawaiian, Beef Pepperoni and Chicken Supreme on Pan; Cheesy Spinach, Ham N Shroom and Otah Laksa on Sourdough), the Welcome Platter of 2 wings plus a side and Soup of the Day, Crispy Chicken Fries, Cheesy Nuggets, an ice cream scoop in chocolate or vanilla, and free-flow Coke, Coke Zero and Sprite. **Dates to note:** Thursday to Sunday only, so within the window there are **12 eligible days**, 10-13, 17-20 and 24-27 September. No booking link is published, so treat it as walk-in and go early, because Pizza Hut describes the January 2026 run as a sell-out. T&Cs apply, while stocks last. Full price table, all six outlet addresses and the menu split.

**SKAI, on the 70th floor of Swissôtel The Stamford, has handed its afternoon tea to Disney and Pixar's Toy Story from 1 September to 30 November 2026.** 'You've Got A Friend In Me' is **ten pieces plus a warm raisin scone**, each named after a character: Mr. Potato Head as a Comté gougère with N25 caviar, Slinky Dog as a wagyu smokie in pretzel brioche, Hamm as smoked duck mousse, Woody as a 66% chocolate, Lotso as a strawberry shortcake and the Aliens as a matcha mandarin choux. One drink is included: a themed alcohol-free cocktail (Little Green Glow or Sheriff Star Splash), a TWG tea or a gourmet coffee. **S$78++ per adult and S$39++ per child aged 6 to 12**, and the ++ is a 10% service charge plus 9% GST, a 19.9% uplift, so you pay **S$93.52 and S$46.76**, or **S$280.56 for two adults and two children**. **The catch is that SKAI publishes three menus and they are not one set at three prices.** Read side by side, the children's menu drops **Golden Orchard (Hamm), Lots O' Berry (Lotso) and The Claw's Choice (the Aliens)**, leaving eight pieces against an adult's eleven. Per piece a child still pays less, about S$5.85 against S$8.50, but a child who came for the Lotso shortcake will not be served one. **The vegetarian menu loses nothing**: all ten stay, with olive oil caviaroll for the N25 caviar, Impossible for the wagyu and chickpea mousse for the duck. Daily, campaign page says 12.15pm to 5.30pm while the restaurant's hours put seatings at 12pm to 3.30pm with a **two-hour limit**, and reservations are required. There is a separate Toy Story room package at the hotel, but **the high tea is not included in it** and its 'priority reservation' expressly does not guarantee a confirmed booking.

**Decathlon Singapore's 9.9 Smashing Sale runs 5 to 10 September, and the strip across every page of decathlon.sg promises up to 70% off, free delivery and an extra $15 off with Atome.** Two of the three are smaller than they read. **The free delivery** drops the free standard-shipping threshold from **$79.90 to $40**, and standard shipping costs **$2.90**, so the perk is worth $2.90 and only on a basket between those two numbers. Decathlon has not said whether it touches Next Day delivery ($7.90, free above $99.90) or bicycles and bulky equipment (a flat $24.90). **The $15 Atome voucher** needs a spend of **$129 or more**, is claimed in the Atome app before you pay, and Decathlon's own FAQ calls the vouchers strictly limited and first-come, first-served. **The 70%** is real but narrow: the campaign artwork's asterisk reads products sold and shipped by Decathlon, and the deals FAQ excludes partner brands (it names Yonex, Molten and Manduka) and Second Life stock, all while stocks last. Worth knowing: **free 2-hour Click and Collect is not a 9.9 perk**. Decathlon's own page says it is free with no minimum spend on over 6,000 products, every day of the year, which beats the sale's delivery offer by $2.90 every time. The one moment left to diarise is **Decathlon's first 9.9 livestream at 8pm on Wednesday 9 September**, with flash sales attached.

**KFC Singapore's Curry Twister Value Meal goes to $5.50 from 7 to 13 September, against a usual $6.80. That is $1.30 off, about 19%, on the curry-sauced Twister wrap with a hash brown and a coffee.** KFC's own poster puts three limits under the price, and most listings reprint none of them: **breakfast hours only, selected KFCs, while stock lasts**. KFC's own help desk sets the breakfast order cut-off at **10.45am**, so this is a deal you have to be awake for, and opening time varies by restaurant. KFC does not publish the participating list; its locator shows **73 restaurants** in Singapore and breakfast is not served at all of them. The delivery note matters too: the poster sends you to **GrabFood or foodpanda**, because KFC's own delivery only runs 11am to 11pm, after breakfast has closed, and carries a $14 minimum plus a $4.50 surcharge that would swallow the saving several times over. Keep the number in proportion: KFC's standing $5 Real Deals menu already sells the Cheesy Tenders Twister Meal, the Famous Bowl Meal and the Curry Macaroni Bowl Set at $5.50 all day, with a $5.00 BBQ Tenders Burger Meal under them, so this week levels breakfast with the everyday value menu rather than beating it.

**POP MART Singapore opened a gift-with-purchase on its own Facebook and Instagram this morning: buy the Nyota x Chibi Maruko Chan Plush Doll Pendant in store and redeem a Nyota x Chibi Maruko Chan photo strip free, photo-booth style, design randomly assigned.** Three lines decide whether you get one. **The wording is in stores.** The identical pendant sits on popmart.com/sg at the same **S$39.90** with LOCAL EXPRESS delivery in one to two days, which is the path most people take by default and the one that comes with no strip. **Only the pendant qualifies:** the **S$15.90** Nyota x Chibi Maruko Chan Series Figures blind box released alongside it is not on the promo. **And there is no end date at all**, only while stocks last on a first-come, first-served basis, so on a Chibi Maruko Chan collab spread across six shops the stock is the deadline. All six participating stores are POP MART's complete Singapore list (Funan #01-06, ION Orchard #B2-57, Jewel Changi Airport #04-230, Plaza Singapura #01-67, Resorts World Sentosa #01-233, Westgate #02-20), so no outlet is excluded. The pendant is a fixed design rather than a blind box, about 16cm tall excluding the hanging ring, labelled age 15+. Worth being clear-eyed about the value: the strip is a keepsake, not a discount, and the pendant costs S$39.90 either way.

**IKEA Singapore has put Kids Eat Free back on its IKEA Family food page, and the window is the five weekdays of the September school break: Monday 7 to Friday 11 September 2026.** The mechanic is one line on IKEA's own page: **1 free kids' meal per child with every 1 main purchased from the regular adult menu**, for IKEA Family members with children 12 and below, with the **IKEA Family card and the child both present at checkout**. It runs at the Swedish Restaurant at **IKEA Alexandra, Tampines and Jurong**, and separately at the **Tampines Halal Line** on identical terms. Dine-in, while stocks last, no code, and membership is free to join. **Four meals qualify**, each $4.50 on IKEA's regular menu and each including a pack of Kivik juice: 5 Swedish meatballs with mash, 2 tempura chicken strips, 5 plant balls with mash, and organic penne in tomato sauce. This run adds **ice cream**, and that part is easy to lose: IKEA's terms say to **present your Swedish Restaurant receipt at the Swedish Bistro** to redeem it, so it is not handed over with the tray. **The number worth noticing:** IKEA sells adult dishes for less than the $4.50 meal you get free, including **vegetable fried rice $2.50**, **salmon wrap $4.50**, **plain penne with mixed vegetables $4.90** and **tomato and basil chicken salad $4.90**, so at the cheap end of the menu the free item is worth roughly what you have to buy to unlock it. **Two things IKEA has not settled on its own page**, both of which decide whether a trip works: its headline says children **12 years old and below** while its third term says **below 12 years old**, a one-year gap, so bring proof of age at exactly 12; and the qualifying purchase is described only as a main from the **regular adult menu**, with no definition of main and no minimum spend, which leaves it unclear whether the cheapest plant-based dishes, or September's discounted IKEA Family combos ($6.90 plant balls, $13.90 breaded pork cutlet), count at all. Ask before you pay. **One timing trap:** the school break runs Saturday 5 to Sunday 13 September, but this offer covers 7 to 11 September only, so **both weekends of the holiday are outside it**.

**BreadTalk is selling two prepaid bun packages inside its Rewards app until 30 September, and its own poster names the campaign the Breadwinner Bundle, which no deal listing carrying this has used.** 15 Buns Package $32, or 30 Buns Package $59, both inclusive of GST and service charge, redeemable at all 47 BreadTalk outlets by showing your BreadTalk Group Rewards QR code. The bun eVoucher is a redemption, not a dollar value, and BreadTalk caps it at **buns priced $2.50 or below** with no top-up route published for anything dearer. That one line sets the real break-even. The 15-pack works out to **$2.13 a bun**: redeem all fifteen at the $2.50 ceiling and you save $5.50 (14.7%), redeem at $2.20 and you save $1 across fifteen visits, redeem at $2.00 and you have paid **$32 for $30 of buns**, which is $2 worse than cash. The 30-pack is the one that holds: **$1.97 a bun**, a best case of $75 of bread for $59 (21.3% off), and the extra fifteen buns over the small package cost $27, or **$1.80 each**. The bonus vouchers are real but top-heavy: BreadTalk values them at $12.30 and $25.60, and **$5 of the smaller figure (41%) and $10 of the larger (39%) is a voucher for a 6-inch whole cake**, so a bun buyer's realistic bonus is $7.30 and $15.60. Taking the arithmetic apart also prices the Buy 1 Free 1 Shio Pan or Get Cheesy at $2.00, which is the only bun price BreadTalk publishes anywhere, since breadtalk.com.sg sells cakes and mid-autumn items and no buns at all. Last thing, and it decides the best day to buy: the vouchers run **3 months from the date of purchase, not to 30 September**, so buying on the last day of the month, 30 September, runs you to about 30 December for the same money. Thirty buns across ninety days is a bun every three days; nothing unused is refundable, extendable or transferable, and nothing here stacks with another promotion, discount, voucher or third-party loyalty programme.

**McDonald's Singapore posted a School Holiday Special on Saturday evening: a free Mini Cone for kids, at all McDonald's restaurants in Singapore, until 13 September.** The entire announcement is one Instagram post from the brand's own account on 5 September, and its full text is: "Treat your kids to a FREE Mini Cone at McDonald's, perfect for cooling down on a sunny day or after a fun outing! Available at all McDonald's restaurants until 13 Sep." The campaign artwork reads **FREE MINI CONES ARE BACK** over a **SCHOOL HOLIDAY SPECIAL** banner and carries **no fine print whatsoever**. There is no press release, and the offer appears nowhere on mcdonalds.com.sg, including its news and updates, Happy Meal and dessert kiosk pages. **That leaves four things unconfirmed, and every one of them is being answered confidently elsewhere:** McDonald's has published **no purchase requirement**, **no age cut-off for "kids"**, **no limit per child per visit** and **no while-stocks-last or time-of-day condition**. The widely repeated line "no purchase required, after breakfast hours, while stocks last" is not in the caption and not on the poster, so treat it as somebody's inference and ask at the counter or the dessert kiosk instead. **The timing is precise rather than generic:** the window closes on 13 September, matching the September school break of **5 to 13 September** to the day, so this is aimed at parents already out with the kids. **And it is a repeat, not a one-off:** the poster's own **ARE BACK** gives it away, and the identical giveaway for kids ran until **31 March 2026** over the March holidays, which makes it a recurring school-holiday fixture rather than something you must catch this week. McDonald's has never publicly committed to repeating it, so that is a pattern and not a promise. **Worth it?** Only as a free full stop on a trip you were already making. A Mini Cone is a small soft-serve in a wafer cone, so the value is that it costs nothing and asks nothing, not that it saves much.

**ReadSG launched this morning**, a five-year national reading movement by the **National Library Board** with **President Tharman Shanmugaratnam** as Patron, and September 2026 is Singapore's **first National Reading Month**. The **"Singapore will pay you to read" headline can finally be checked**, because the reward mechanic went live with the campaign. The **ReadSG Challenge** sits on GovTech's **CrowdTaskSG** and pays **20 coins per daily reading session of 15 minutes or more**, one session a day, with the check-in resetting at **11.59pm**. CrowdTaskSG's own FAQ prices coins at **1,000 to S$1**, so that is **two cents a day**. Read all **32 days from 6 Sep to 7 Oct** and you have **640 coins**, plus **50** for the closing survey, so **69 cents for eight hours of reading**. The platform's **minimum payment is 100 coins (S$0.10)**, so the first five days are unspendable, and coins earned now **expire on 31 March 2027**.

**POPULAR's Tech-Tastic Deals runs 4 to 13 September 2026 at up to 70% off gadgets and IT, and the two things worth carrying with you are the store list and the fine print.** The store list first: several deal listings are running this as a POPULAR-wide sale, while the brand's own e-flyer names **eight shops and no others** (**Bras Basah Complex, Causeway Point, NEX, Northpoint City, Tampines Mall, Toa Payoh HDB Hub, Waterway Point and Westgate**), and there is **no online version**, which is a real problem if you were planning to buy from the sofa. That in-store restriction is also where the money is. We priced three flyer items against popular.com.sg on 5 September and the shop won every time: the **Sony WH-CH520 is $49 in store against $69 online, where it is also listed out of stock**, the **Havit SK816 speaker is $39.90 against $49.90**, and the **SanDisk E10 1TB SSD is $169.90 against $179**. Now the fine print, which is the part that costs members money: the flyer says the promotion is **"not valid with any other discount (POPULAR Card/e-Card, voucher and/or promotion)"**, so the usual **10% member discount does not stack** on any of these. The one exception runs the other way, with **Xiaomi (except mobile and tablet) at an additional 10% off**. On the headline itself: the flyer prints a usual price on 32 of its 34 lines and **exactly two reach 70%**, the **Havit SK816 at $39.90 from $139.90** (71%) and the **Targus Smart Surge 4 at $19.90 from $71** (72%, but a purchase-with-purchase needing $50 nett spend). Ten of the 32 are half price or better. The big-ticket lines are not: both **Lenovo IPS 3 laptops ($799 and $1,249) are about 11% off**, the **Oppo A6 Pro 5G is 7.5% off** and the **Nintendo Switch 2 with Pokemon Pokopia bundle is $739 from $789**, or 6%. The largest cuts in dollars are the **SanDisk E10 1TB portable SSD at $169.90 from $360** and the **Lenovo Idea Tab at $229 from $399** with $202 of gifts in the box. One last trap: where a free gift is "shopping vouchers", the flyer says it offsets the purchase instantly with no physical voucher issued, so the **Epson L3350's $30 comes off that same bill**. While stocks last, and the flyer closes with "more products available in stores".

**Crocodile's warehouse sale runs 4 to 13 September 2026, 11am to 7pm daily including weekends, at up to 80% off men's and ladies' apparel, innerwear and accessories.** The single most useful thing to carry with you is the floor. Several deal listings put this sale on **Level 1** of the Travelite Building. **Crocodile's own poster and its own Instagram post both say Level 4**, and so did the brand's post for its January 2026 sale at the same address. Travelite Building is an industrial block rather than a mall, so that is a real walk, not one extra shopfront. The second correction is the ceiling: at least one deal site headlines **up to 90% off** while the brand's own artwork says **80%**, and "up to" is a limit on selected stock either way. **Crocodile publishes no price list at all.** The numbers doing the rounds are a deal site's reading of the in-store price boards, not the brand's figures, and on that basis expect **tees $10**, **men's singlets 2 for $10**, **polo tees $15**, **pants $20**, **jeans $30**, **ladies' undies $5** and **backpacks $70**, plus **Hechter Paris and Van Heusen tees $10**, **Arnold Palmer and bradFORD socks and boxers 2 for $5** and **Pierre Cardin briefs $10**. The luggage quoted alongside it (**Delsey Paris 3-piece set $299**, **Delsey buy 1 free 1 $199**, **Wenger Amplix 84cm $79**, large luggage from $79) is **not on Crocodile's poster**: Travelite Holdings distributes Delsey, Wenger and American Flyer and is based in that building, so two sales are sharing one venue and only the apparel half is confirmed by the brand. Cash, NETS, credit card and PayNow accepted. **Goods are not returnable, exchangeable or refundable**, so check sizing and marked defects before paying, and expect no restocks: the brand's own January post said limited stocks, fast-moving styles, no restocks. 53 Ubi Avenue 3, Level 4, S408863, about 7 minutes' walk from Ubi MRT Exit B, or buses 58 and 137 to the Cycle & Carriage stop.

**Atrium Restaurant at Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium closes its Nyonya Meets The World buffet on 9 September, and the halal 1-for-1 that made it worth booking does not close with it.** From **10 September to 22 November 2026** the restaurant runs a **Wagyu Beef, Seafood and Suhaimi's Buffet**, built with entertainer **Suhaimi Yusof**, and **every adult diner still gets 1-for-1**, with **kids 5 and under free**. Dinner before the discount is **$128++ per adult Monday to Thursday** and **$138++ Friday to Sunday and public holidays**, so two adults pay one cover: about **$64++ each, or $76.74 nett** on a weeknight and **$82.73** at the weekend. Children 6 to 12 are $30++. The spread is where the money went: Japanese snow crab legs, fresh oysters, poached tiger prawns, baby abalone, Japanese sweet clams and half shell scallops on ice, with **bamboo lobster on weekends only**, plus slow-roasted wagyu D-rump, pan-seared wagyu steak with truffle sauce and smoked garlic butter wagyu bites, and Suhaimi's own picks (wagyu beef cheek rendang, Singapore chilli lobster with mantou, boneless chicken rice, chicken and mutton satay). **Two things the hotel's own offers page does not tell you.** First, **lunch keeps its 1-for-1**: the restaurant's booking system lists a **1-for-1 International Weekday Lunch Buffet at $99++** and a weekend one at **$109++** for the same 10 September to 22 November window, which is **about $59.35 nett a head** and the cheapest way through the door, though the wagyu and the ice counter are dinner-only. Second, the **55% off weekday-dinner rate for a table of five**, which came to roughly **$64.20 nett a head and beat the 1-for-1 outright** all through August, is dated only to **9 September** with nothing replacing it. Dinner is also **$9 dearer** than the Nyonya menu it succeeds ($119++ and $129++ before), about $5.39 more a head nett on a weeknight, and the 2X IHG One Rewards points stopped on 31 August. Odd numbers get 50% off the extra diner with DBS/POSB, Citibank or UOB. Dinner 6pm to 9.30pm daily (last replenishment 9pm), lunch 12pm to 2.30pm. Dine-in only, not combinable with other promotions, blackout dates may apply, 20 or more guests need a deposit, and nearly every station on the printed menu runs a nightly rotation of one to six items. Level 4, 317 Outram Road, WhatsApp +65 9114 0258.

**Sheng Siong opened its Rivervale Mall store on Thursday 4 September 2026 and posted the full opening advertisement to its own corporate site the same morning.** The sheet is a **7 Days Special, 4 to 10 September**, and a red band across it reads **Exclusive @ 11 Rivervale Crescent, Rivervale Mall**, so none of it travels to another branch. The headline is a Purchase-with-Purchase: **every $88 spent** lets you buy a **Frozen Cooked King Crab Cluster 500/700 at $18.80** against a printed usual of **$69.43**, a 72% cut, capped at 4 pieces per customer. Two free gifts hang off single-receipt spends, **$30** for a Softess hanging kitchen towel worth $4.50 and **$70** for a Softess 4-ply 10+2 roll tissue bundle worth $9.80, one redemption per receipt, with cigarettes, liquors, Sheng Siong vouchers and infant milk powder stages 1 and 2 taken out of the qualifying spend. Deepest straight cuts: Tasty Bites Smoked Chicken Breast 325g at **$9.99 for 3** (usual 3 for $20.85), Drypers Baby Wipes at **$3.45** (usual $7.15), an IFAN 9-inch DC standing fan at **$59.90** (usual $119), Coca-Cola Less Sugar 24 x 320ml at **$10.95 a carton** (usual $21.15) and Oatside **3 for $3.00**. Buy-1-Free-1 on Dove Body Wash 1L $9.95, Lebao Hokkaido Kurobuta Belly Slice 250g $14.95, Jongga kimchi 500g $6.50, Oukuk Musang King durian ice cream $15.90 and Vietnam Diamond Cut coconut $2.95. **Three catches.** Purchases are capped at **3 units per product per customer per transaction**, and the biggest cuts are already bundles of two or three. Beverage prices **exclude the BCRS 10c deposit per can**, so the $10.95 Coca-Cola carton is **$13.35** at the till and the $41.80 Carlsberg is $44.20, refundable when you return the empties. And the two 4% loyalty discounts in the footer are day-gated: seniors on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (8 and 9 Sep), CHAS Blue on Thursdays (10 Sep, the last day), CHAS Orange on Fridays (4 Sep, today). Store: **11 Rivervale Crescent, Rivervale Mall #03-01**, daily **7am to 11pm**, 6514 8105, beside Rumbia LRT (SE2). Sheng Siong's 1H FY2026 release named Rivervale as one of three third-quarter openings alongside Hougang and Woodlands.

**The Singapore Botanic Gardens and Fort Canning Park Heritage Festival runs 5 to 13 September 2026**, straight through the September school break, with free entry to both parks and more than 50 programmes. Read the official 57-page e-programme and the real planning rule shows up: the workshops, guided tours, concerts and outdoor movies run on **5, 6, 12 and 13 September only**, with a single weekday exception, a forest-bathing session on **Wed 9 Sep**. Free every day of the festival: the **Heritage Rally** stamp trail (9am to 5.30pm, drop-in, 8 stamps at the Gardens for a special edition pin, 6 at Fort Canning for a centenary tote, both routes for a further prize), the exhibitions including the new **Funtastical World of Fungi** at the CDL Green Gallery, **Fungi After Dark** (7.30pm to 10pm, CDL Green Gallery Lawn) and the craft booths at Fort Canning Centre (10am to 10pm, 6pm on weekdays). Weekend-only free highlights: **four outdoor movies at Eco-Lake Lawn, 7.30pm to 9pm** (A Singapore Dementia Story 5 Sep, Fantastic Fungi 6 Sep, **Lilo & Stitch 12 Sep**, **Mulan 13 Sep**), three concerts at the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage (**The Purple Symphony 5 Sep**, **Xinyao Lives On 12 Sep**, Open Score Project 13 Sep), the **SBG Night Tour** 8pm to 9pm, and **The Heir**, a five-stop projection and audio quest at Fort Canning that ends with a gift. **Three catches.** The movies are solar-powered with **no speakers at all**: audio runs through the **Cinewav** app, so every person needs a charged phone and their own headphones. The **free shuttle bus** between the two parks runs **weekends only**, 9am to 10pm, roughly every 15 to 20 minutes, last bus 9.40pm. And the **National Orchid Garden is still ticketed**, $5 for local adults, $1 for local seniors 60+ and students, free under 12, against $15 and $3 at the standard rate. Tenant offers, 5 to 13 Sep unless stated: **Fusion Spoon** Peranakan Chicken Chop **$13.90 nett** and Heritage Afternoon Tea **$22.90 nett** (1 to 30 Sep), **Tiong Bahru Bakery** $12++ for a viennoiserie plus an iced drink, 10% off a la carte at **il Giardino** and at **Canning Bar & Lounge** in METT Singapore (1 to 30 Sep), Wildseed Cafe picnic baskets for 2 at $80 and $150, and a Grace Kee Peranakan takeover at The Bloomhouse on **10 and 11 Sep only** at $108++ a head. One thing to weigh: it is an outdoor festival in a haze week, so check the PSI on the day.

**Jack's Place prices its kids' menu at $3++ against a usual $8.80, all day Monday to Friday, and the reason it earns a slot this week is the calendar rather than the number.** A weekday-only children's deal is normally unreachable for school-going families, because the qualifying days are the days the children are in class. The 5 to 13 September school holidays break that, and they contain five weekdays, Monday 7 to Friday 11 September, none of them a public holiday, so all five qualify. On the money: the two plus signs are the 10% service charge and 9% GST, so $3++ is about $3.60 and the usual $8.80++ is about $10.55, roughly $6.95 a child a visit. Three dishes sit at that price, Spaghetti Beef Bolognese, Chicken Nuggets & Fries and Kids' Fish & Chips, and every kids' meal includes apple juice and a single scoop of ice cream. A $5++ tier (U.P. $10.80) buys a Minute Striploin Steak with Chicken Chipolata Sausages, the same $6.95 off a bigger plate. Now the condition the deal listings drop, and it is printed on the brand's own poster: the $3++ applies "with order of any a la carte or promotional main course", so it is an add-on price and an adult has to buy a main. The terms then exclude the Set Lunch, which is the cheapest adult main Jack's Place sells, so the instinctive budget order is exactly the one that pushes the child's plate back to $8.80++. Promotional mains do still count, so the September Striploin & Ribeye Fest is fair game. Dine-in only, children under 10, no stacking with other promotions, discounts, vouchers or JP Pepperdine rewards, and 12 outlets on the brand's locations page (Anchorpoint, Ang Mo Kio, Bras Basah Complex, City Square Mall, Compass One, JEM, Jewel Changi Airport, NEX, Toa Payoh OrangeTee, Parkway Parade, SAFRA Jurong, SAFRA Punggol). Two names on its promotions-page outlet filter, 321 Clementi and Woodlands Civic Centre, are not on the locations page, so call ahead if you were counting on either. Looking ahead, the terms bar eves of and public holidays plus special occasions, and name Children's Day, which for MOE kindergartens and primary schools is Friday 2 October 2026.

**Sushidan opens its second Singapore outlet at Parkway Parade on Friday 5 September 2026, and one dated offer rides with it.** This is the Tokyo sushi-ya attached to MICHELIN-starred Chef Hiroyuki Sato of Ginza's Hakkoku, formerly head chef at Sushi Tokami. **THE OFFER: order any omakase course and you can add 30g of premium Hokkaido nama uni with toasted seaweed for $18.80++ instead of $38.80++, from 5 to 30 September 2026.** That is **$20.00++ off, 51.5%**, or **$22.54 nett against $46.52** once the 10% service charge and 9% GST are on. **IT IS PARKWAY PARADE ONLY**, so the Raffles City flagship at 252 North Bridge Road #B1-44C keeps the menu but not the uni price. **THE EVERYDAY LADDER IS WHY THE TRIP IS WORTH IT:** a la carte sushi from **$1.99++** a piece ($2.39 nett), sashimi from **$2.99++**, hand rolls from **$3.99++**, and three sets, the **Goshoku Set $19.90++** ($23.86 nett) with seasonal chawanmushi, a chef's appetiser, three ochoko mini dons, a sushi platter, a negitoro hand roll and miso soup, the **Goshoku Aburi Set** at the same $19.90++ torched, and the seven-course **Nanairo Set $29.90++** ($35.85 nett). **THE CATCH WORTH ASKING ABOUT AT THE COUNTER:** the uni is a supplement to a course, not a dish you can order alone, and the published condition is any omakase course. If the $19.90++ Goshoku Set counts, the cheapest uni meal here is **$38.70++ ($46.40 nett)**; if the restaurant reads it as the seven-course set only, the floor is **$48.70++ ($58.39 nett)**. Also: uni is **while stocks last** and the variety can rotate with the season, the room seats **about 35**, roughly half of Raffles City, it opens inside the **5 to 13 September school holidays**, and **Sushidan is not halal-certified**. 80 Marine Parade Road, #01-10, Singapore 449269, daily 11am to 10pm.

**LAC's 9.9 Sale runs to Thursday 10 September 2026, and the brand has printed the entire mechanic in plain text across the top of its own Buy 1 Free 1 category page:** Storewide Buy 1 Free 1 with **$319** spend, then **$9** off **$299**, **$19** off **$499**, **$39** off **$699** and **$99** off **$999**. Divide those and the rebate ladder pays **3.0%, 3.8%, 5.6% and 9.9%**, so only the four-figure tier reaches the number in the campaign's own name. The rung that matters is the one in between. At **$319** LAC stops giving a percentage and starts giving a product: one set, same item, so a second copy of something already in your basket comes free at full value. On LAC's own member prices that is **$74.00** on TriAction Sleep Formula, **$96.76** on Probiotic Complex 100 Billion CFU, **$107.16** on Joint Protec Xtra or **$129.20** on Nerve Protect, every one of them worth more than the **$99** a **$999** order pays out. That makes **$299 the worst place on the ladder to stop**: $20 more clears $319, and because $319 also clears $299 and LAC's homepage banner states the promotions can be used concurrently, the $9 should still land on top. Three catches. **Below $299 the 9.9 sale pays nothing**, while LAC's separate World Heart Day codes **WHD38OFF3** and **WHD38DEAL3** take **38% off any three supplements with no minimum spend**, which is the better instrument for a small order. **"Storewide" is a list of 245 products**, so check your item is on it. And the **in-store version is worse**: LAC's own poster prices the second same supplement at **$9.90** in store against free online, with the in-store minimum printed only as "with min. spend" and no figure published anywhere on LAC's site. Two gift thresholds sit under the first rebate tier: a thermal tumbler for new sign-ups at **$168** and 2-piece compression packing cubes at **$199**, one per member while stocks last. LAC Club membership is free and the member price on every line we checked is a flat 20% under usual. Free delivery above $80.

**Nike Singapore is underselling its own sale.** Its 9.9 menu on nike.com/sg offers two rails, and the labels do not match the product data behind them. The rail marked **Up to 40% off** holds **1,586 products**, and its front page alone carries 30%, 40% **and** 50% markdowns: the Shox TL women's at $129.50 (U.P. $259), the Dunk Low Premium SE women's at $99.50 (U.P. $199), the Air Max 95 Big Bubble 'Valentine's Day' at $134.50 (U.P. $269). All half price, on a rail whose own label says 40% is the ceiling. The rail that actually pays is the other one, **Buy 2, Extra 20% Off**: **336 products, every single one of them at exactly 50% off** before the bundle discount, with the extra 20% coming off **in the cart** rather than on the product page. Because the second cut lands on the already-halved price, two items work out at about **60% off**. The best of them is the plainest shoe there: an **Air Force 1 '07** at $74.50 becomes $59.60 in a pair, so two pairs cost **$119.20 against $298**, a $178.80 saving. Also on that rail: Air Max Fire $74.50 (U.P. $149), Total 90 $82.50 (U.P. $165), LD-1000 Premium $84.50 (U.P. $169), P-6000 and V2K Run both $89.50 (U.P. $179), LeBron TR 1 $104.50 (U.P. $209), Air Jordan 1 Low G $114.50 (U.P. $229), Vomero 18 SE $117.50 (U.P. $235), Pegasus Premium $149.50 (U.P. $299) and the $419 Alphafly 3 at $209.50. **The trap is on the sale page itself:** the Air Max Muse women's is listed twice at two different prices, $114.50 (50% off) and $137.40 (40% off), against the same $229 usual price, and the only thing separating them is the colourway, so clicking the first search result is a $22.90 coin flip. **The date is the part nobody has published:** Nike prints no end date anywhere on the sale, but its own promotion record for the bundle offer, tagged XAFA26NINEBUNDLE, runs 3 Sep 16:00 UTC to 10 Sep 18:00 UTC, which is midnight on 4 September to 2am on 11 September Singapore time, making **Thursday 10 September the last full day**. That is the same day adidas' 9.9 closes, and the two work in opposite directions: adidas gives an extra 30% in cart but only on stock already marked down, and it applies to a single item; Nike's extra is 20% and needs two items, but the base is a guaranteed flat 50% rather than a mixture. Buying one thing, adidas is the better maths; buying two, the gap is about five percentage points and Nike is far less work. Online at nike.com/sg only, both items must come off the Buy 2 rail, and the sale rails are re-cut daily, so check the cart total before you pay.

**Singapore GP Pte Ltd opened the public ballot for the Thursday Pit Lane Experience on 2 September 2026, and it is free.** Up to **4,500 fans** walk the Marina Bay pit lane past the Formula 1 team garages on **Thursday 8 October 2026, 7.30pm to 11pm**, at **Zone 1** of the circuit, entry at **Gate 1 along Republic Boulevard**, the evening before the Circuit Park opens for race weekend. **You do not need a race ticket**, and the ballot is open to **Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents only**, from 2 September 10am to **Friday 18 September, 11.59pm**. **The detail no write-up carries:** the official entry form has a **compulsory qualifying question you must answer correctly**, naming the bridges that form part of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, so a wrong answer removes you before the random draw runs. The circuit crosses the **Anderson Bridge** at Turn 12 and the **Esplanade Bridge**, where the third DRS zone sits. The form also wants your full name as per NRIC, email, contact number and the **last 4 characters of your NRIC**. **One application per NRIC or FIN** and duplicates are not considered, but the limit is per person, so **every eligible adult in a household can enter separately**. **Only successful applicants are notified**, by email, **by Friday 2 October 2026**; no email means no ticket, and there is no results page. Each winner gets **a pair of tickets**, and **all patrons including children need a valid ticket**, so a winning pair is two people in total, with under-12s requiring an accompanying adult aged 18 or above. The **pit lane walk runs in batches of roughly 20 minutes**; the rest of the evening is the Zone 1 F1 Village. **Telephoto, long and removable-lens cameras are barred** from the Circuit Park, while phones and still-image cameras are fine for private non-commercial use. Tickets are not for sale, non-transferable, non-replaceable and not redeemable for cash, and **uncollected tickets are void**. **If you hit a page saying Registration has closed, that is the other route:** a ticketholder-only contest that shut on 9 August 2026.

**Kee Song's premium Sakura Chicken line goes on sale at Giant from 3 to 16 September 2026, at 22 stores Giant names on its own flyer**, not the four that most write-ups list (those four are only the sampling venues). The four promotion prices: **Sakura Chicken Breast 350g at 2 for $11.50** (was $12.80, save $1.30 or 10%), **Sakura Chicken Cut 12 Portion 1kg at $13.90** (was $14.50, save 60c or 4%), **Sakura Chicken Drumsticks 200g at $3.10** (was $3.40, save 30c or 8%) and **Sakura Chicken Boneless Legs 350g at 2 for $14.50** (was $16, save $1.50 or 9%). **The discount order is not the value order.** Per kilo: the Cut 12 Portion is **$13.90**, drumsticks **$15.50**, breast **$16.43** and boneless legs **$20.71**, so the line taking the smallest cut on the flyer is the cheapest by weight and the one taking the deepest 10% is not. The honest caveat is that the Cut 12 is bone-in while the boneless legs are not. **One line is cheaper direct from the producer:** Kee Song's own shop sells the same Fresh Sakura Chicken Cut (12 pieces) 1kg at **$13.20**, 70c under Giant's $13.90 special offer, though free delivery there needs a $59 basket. Giant wins the other three, with drumsticks at $3.10 against Kee Song's $3.60 and boneless legs at $7.25 a pack against $8.20. **The $30 mechanic is being reported wrong.** Giant's own flyer carries a **yuu Rewards Club draw**: spend $30 on Sakura Chicken for a chance at **100,000 yuu Points (stated worth $500)**, 10 winners, 1 million points up for grabs, exclusive at Giant **3 to 30 September**, which runs **two weeks past the price promo**. The **free $28 Sakura thermal bag** most coverage leads with sits on a separate Sakura Chicken poster, is **3 September only**, is while stocks last, and **does not appear on Giant's flyer at all**, so do not travel for it. Free sampling 9am to 5pm: **4 to 6 Sep** at Choa Chu Kang and Hougang Green 2, **11 to 13 Sep** at IMM and Woodlands Mart. Availability varies by store, while stocks last, no traders, exclusion list applies. Kee Song sells Sakura Chicken in both halal and non-halal lines and Giant's flyer does not say which is on the shelf, so check the pack.

**Popeyes Singapore announced its Ultimate Chicken Bucket on its own Facebook page on 2 September and started it today: 4 pieces of Signature Chicken for $12, against a usual $19.60.** That is **38% off, $7.60 saved, and $3 a piece** instead of $4.90, running **Thursday 3 to Sunday 20 September 2026**. **The fine print printed along the bottom of the brand's poster:** valid for **dine-in and takeaway only, excluding Changi Airport T1**, so Popeyes Delivery, the app, Grab and foodpanda will not carry the price; **no choosing of chicken parts**; **each bucket comes in one fixed flavour, classic or spicy**, with no mixing inside a bucket; **not valid in conjunction with any other promotions, discounts or privileges**; while stocks last; Singapore only. The poster carries Popeyes Singapore's **MUIS halal certification** mark. **The detail the reposts skip:** that no-stacking line collides with Popeyes' own standing deals, all of which are still listed on its offers page. **Louisiana Chicken Wednesday** puts a **4pc Louisiana Chicken Bucket at $10** every Wednesday 11am to 10pm, which inside this run is **Wednesday 9 and Wednesday 16 September**, so on those two days the 38%-off promotion is **$2 dearer for the same four pieces**. **Buttermilk Tenders Monday** puts a **7pc Chicken Tenders Bucket at $10.90** (U.P. $16.80) on **Monday 7 and Monday 14 September**, cheaper and three pieces longer, though boneless. And the run's **last day, Sunday 20 September, is day one of Popeyes Week**, when **$3 more buys the $15 Bucket Set** (4pc Signature Chicken, 3pc Buttermilk Tenders and one large drink, U.P. $30.60). That leaves **13 of the 18 days** where the $12 bucket really is the cheapest bone-in chicken on the board. **One thing to ask at the counter:** the offers page calls the Wednesday item a *Louisiana* Chicken Bucket while the promotion is *Signature* Chicken, so confirm the chicken is the same before you rearrange a Wednesday around it. **No daily time window is published** for the $12 bucket, unlike every one of Popeyes' standing in-store deals, which all run 11am to 10pm.

**FairPrice Group announced on 2 September 2026 that it is doubling its CHAS cardholder discount from 3% to 6%, from 3 September 2026 to 1 January 2027**, funded through FairPrice Foundation. **The day is the rule, not a preference.** CHAS **Blue** cardholders get their 6% **every Thursday**; CHAS **Orange** cardholders get theirs **every Friday**, and there is no swapping. Arrive on the other card's day and you get nothing, not even the standing 3%. That counts out to **18 Thursdays for Blue**, 3 September to **31 December 2026**, and **18 Fridays for Orange**, 4 September to **1 January 2027**, New Year's Day itself. **The cap is the number most reposts drop.** The discount applies **up to a total spend of $200 per customer per day**, so 6% of $200 is **$12** and that is all one day can return. A **$400** shop on your discount day pays **$12**, not $24, which is an effective 3%; **two $200 shops on two discount days pay $24**. Over the full run the ceiling is roughly **$216 per cardholder**, and a household spending $120 a visit gains about **$7.20** a time. **Where:** all FairPrice supermarkets, FairPrice Finest and FairPrice Xtra (that is the release's own footnote), plus **Unity pharmacies** and **FairPrice Online**. The convenience formats, **Cheers and FairPrice Xpress, are not named**, so check before assuming. **The good part:** FairPrice says it **stacks with CDC vouchers and existing store promotions**, so the 6% sits on top of what is already marked down. **The line to read twice:** the online perk is a **service fee waiver worth $3.99 on a $100 minimum, not free delivery**, and the same footnote adds that the **standard $5.00 delivery fee still applies under FairPrice's $59 minimum spend**. **To get it applied:** show the card before payment, or verify once via **MyInfo in the FairPrice Group app** and scan it. This is the second doubling of 2026, after a 9 April to 31 May run. Full dates, the cap maths and the fine print →

**Golden Village opened sales at 3pm on 2 September 2026 for *To Leslie With Love: Days Of Being Wild In 4K*, a GV-exclusive three-day run of Wong Kar Wai's 1990 film timed to Leslie Cheung's 70th birthday.** It plays **Friday 11 to Sunday 13 September** at four cinemas only, VivoCity, Suntec City, Cineleisure and Century Square, at **$22 a ticket flat**. GV's banner prints one price with no weekday or weekend split and no hall tier. **The booking tip is the hall.** VivoCity's two sessions are listed under **GVmax**, GV's large-format hall, at the same $22 as a standard house elsewhere, and VivoCity has only those two sessions in the whole run. **Reading GV's booking panel cinema by cinema gives 10 sessions, and they are not spread evenly.** Friday is **evening-only** (Suntec City 6.30pm, Cineleisure 8pm, Century Square 9pm) with **nothing at VivoCity**; Sunday is **afternoon-only** (VivoCity 1.30pm, Suntec City 3pm, Cineleisure 5pm) with **nothing at Century Square**; and **Saturday 12 September, Cheung's actual birthday, is the one day all four play it** (Cineleisure 2.30pm, Suntec City 4.30pm, VivoCity 6.30pm, Century Square 7pm), so that is the day to book first. **On the freebie, GV's own page is plainer than the coverage.** It states twice that **every ticket purchased comes with 1x commemorative A3 poster**, with **no stocks-last caveat and no collection point printed**, while reports on 1 and 2 September added "at selected locations, while stocks last". **The catch:** GV marks the film with an asterisk meaning **free tickets cannot be used**, so complimentary passes are out. Original **Cantonese** audio with English and Chinese subtitles, **PG**, **95 minutes**. For scale, GV's published price table listed a standard 2D Saturday ticket at **$16.00** when we checked on 27 August, so the premium is about **$6**.

**Cathay Pacific turned 80 on 1 September and put its whole Singapore route map on sale under the name 80th AnniFAREsary.** All-in round-trip economy fares from Singapore, taxes and surcharges already included: **Hong Kong S$354**, the Beijing / Qingdao / Zhengzhou / Xi'an / Chongqing / Chengdu group **S$424**, the Shanghai / Hangzhou / Ningbo / Nanjing / Wuhan / Wenzhou group **S$485**, Urumqi S$647, **Tokyo S$727**, Osaka / Fukuoka / Nagoya S$764, Almaty S$804, **Los Angeles / San Francisco / Seattle S$1,209**, the ten-city Europe group (Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan, Rome, Zurich, Munich, Brussels) **S$1,221**, London S$1,308, Boston and Chicago S$1,354, Vancouver S$1,435, New York S$1,464, Toronto S$1,538 and Dallas S$1,584. **There are two deadlines here, not one, and reposts keep flattening them into a single 1 to 30 September.** The *fares* sell 1 to 30 September for travel all the way to 31 August 2027. The two member promo codes sell **1 to 15 September only** and only cover travel **15 September to 10 December 2026**, so they miss Christmas, the year-end school holidays and Chinese New Year entirely. **The number that matters: the smaller code is the bigger discount.** CX80SG takes **S$80** off Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and Northeast Asia, which is **23% off the S$354 Hong Kong fare** and lands it at **S$274**. CX80SGLH takes **S$138** off North America, Europe and Australasia, which is **11% off** the S$1,209 US west coast fare and **under 9% off** the S$1,584 Dallas one. The quotas run the same way: **500 transactions for CX80SG against just 50 for CX80SGLH**, and once those 50 are gone the booking page returns 'voucher quota has been exceeded'. Both codes are **cathaypacific.com only** (Cathay's terms exclude its own mobile app), need a **signed-in Cathay membership**, must be entered **before payment** because a code applied after checkout is refused, do not work on multi-city, stopover, open-jaw or package bookings, and **cannot be stacked** with any other offer. Two side offers are smaller than the headline: the **'866 bonus Asia Miles' only pays out if your Cathay membership number contains an 8 or a 0** (the advertised 1,946 total only gets there by adding the separate 1,080-mile new-member sign-up bonus), and the **'28% off your next flight' code is capped at the first 100 tickets** campaign-wide, for departures 8 January to 23 May 2027 only. **Two things the press release does not point at:** Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle are cheaper than New York in economy (S$1,209 against S$1,464) but dearer in business (S$6,231 against S$5,802); and the ten-city Europe group beats London in every cabin, with a **S$4,288 business fare that is the cheapest long-haul business seat in the whole sale**. Also running: S$130 off Cathay Holidays Hong Kong flight-and-hotel packages for 2+ travellers (book by 15 Sep), and 20% off in miles at Cathay Shop to 30 Sep.

**IHG Hotels & Resorts is running Stay 3 Nights, Pay 2 on suites and premium rooms across Asia Pacific, and the two dates are nowhere near each other.** The **booking window is 1 to 30 September 2026** and that is all of it, while the **stay window runs 4 September 2026 to 30 June 2027**, so this month's booking can sit on a December, Chinese New Year or June-holiday trip. Every third consecutive night at the same hotel is free and the rate **includes daily breakfast for up to two guests per room**. **The free night is awarded per complete block of three**, so the discount only peaks at multiples of three: 3 nights pays 2 (33% off the room), 4 nights pays 3 (25%), 5 nights pays 4 (20%), 6 nights pays 4 (back to 33%). Maximum 30 nights. **The catch for readers here is the participating list.** IHG's own South East Asia and South Korea page names **55 hotels and exactly two are in Singapore**, InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay (1 Nanson Road) and Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong (86 East Coast Road), neither of which is a Holiday Inn, so the campaign's kids-stay-and-eat-free clause applies at neither. The same list carries **13 hotels in Bali, 18 in Thailand, 11 in Vietnam, 6 in Malaysia** and Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach, which is the one entry that works as a Singapore long weekend. **The rest of the fine print:** IHG One Rewards members only (free to join), **suites and premium rooms only** rather than the cheapest room type, the whole stay must sit on **one reservation**, you must book **at least three days before check-in**, taxes and service charge are excluded, it **cannot be stacked** with any other offer, blackout dates may apply, and cancelling inside 72 hours of arrival costs one night's room rate. Six Senses, Iberostar Beachfront Resorts, InterContinental Alliance Resorts and IHG Army Hotels are excluded outright.

**Din Tai Fung published a four-month OCBC card offer on its own site on 1 September 2026, and it is long enough to plan around rather than chase.** The **Weekday Treat** gives **OCBC credit and debit cardmembers** a **complimentary Original Hot & Sour Soup (small)**, which the brand's own poster values at **$9.50**, on a **minimum spend of $80**, from **1 September to 31 December 2026**. **The line most reposts drop:** the poster's terms state that **all prices and amounts are before GST and service charge**, and that applies to both numbers. At Din Tai Fung's usual **10% service charge** and **9% GST**, **$80 before tax is $95.92 at the till** and the **$9.50 soup is $11.39** of real value, which fixes the offer at **11.9% of the bill** whichever way you compute it. So it rewards a bill you were already going to run up: topping a $60 table up to $80 costs about **$23.98** more at the register to claim $11.39. **The catch that decides it is the clock.** The order has to be placed **11.00am to 2.00pm or 4.30pm to 6.00pm**, and that second window is an early dinner, not a dinner, so a 7pm booking qualifies for nothing. **Weekdays only, dine-in only**, while servings last, and payment must be made with a valid OCBC card. It is also void on the eve of a public holiday, on a public holiday and on a public-holiday-in-lieu, which over the rest of the run removes exactly **three weekdays: Mon 9 Nov** (Deepavali in lieu, since Deepavali itself is Sunday 8 November), **Thu 24 Dec** and **Fri 25 Dec**, leaving **83 usable weekdays** to the end of the year out of 85 across the campaign. **The one stack Din Tai Fung has confirmed in writing:** the soup poster bars other promotions *unless otherwise stated*, and the brand's separate **A Crispy Comeback** poster (1 Sep to 31 Oct) does otherwise state, saying its **10% OCBC discount on the $15.30 Noodle with Crispy Wanton in Spicy Sauce can be combined with the OCBC year-long complimentary dish offer on a minimum spend of $80**. That takes the noodle from about **$18.34 to $16.51** at the till, and it still counts towards the $80. Valid at **Din Tai Fung Singapore**, whose own contact page lists **31 restaurants** but flags **JEM as temporarily closed for renovation**, so **30 are trading**. The full terms, the arithmetic and the three dead weekdays →

**Pepper Lunch put its Cheesy Omelette back on the Singapore menu on 1 September 2026, and hung a tear-to-reveal game off it.** The dish runs **1 September to 2 November 2026**, while stocks last, in three sets that all include a drink: **Beef Slices Cheesy Omelette $16.90**, **Chicken Steak Cheesy Omelette $16.90** and **Striploin Steak Cheesy Omelette $20.90**. The campaign artwork bills it as **"The Legend Returns, Since 2012"**. The game is called **Sizzle. Tear. WIN!** and the rule printed on the poster is **one card per Cheesy Omelette ordered**, with the pool covering **free Cheesy Omelettes, 1-for-1 and 2-for-1 Cheesy Omelettes, sides and ice cream**; media coverage puts it at **16,000 prizes** nationwide, though Pepper Lunch has published no per-outlet allocation. **The two dates that matter are not 2 November.** The poster prints a **distribution period of 1 Sep to 18 Oct 2026** and a **redemption period of 1 Sep to 31 Oct 2026**, so the last useful day to order for a card is **18 October** and the last day to eat a prize is **31 October**; order between 19 October and 2 November and you get the omelette but no card. **The free dish is narrower than it sounds.** The line at the foot of the poster limits the complimentary dish to a **Beef Slices or Chicken Steak Cheesy Omelette on your next dine-in visit only**, which rules out the $20.90 striploin, rules out claiming it on the meal that produced the card, and rules out delivery and takeaway. Two limited items ride along at **$4.90** each: the **Yammy Taro Cake** at all outlets, and **Jalapeno Poppers with Hot Honey** at six only (**Jem, Nex, Parkway Parade, Pasir Ris Mall, Tampines 1, Hougang Mall**). All Pepper Lunch restaurants in Singapore, halal certified, while stocks last.

**Sephora Singapore opens the OLIVE YOUNG K-Beauty Edit on Wednesday 2 September 2026**, bringing Korea's biggest health and beauty retailer's curated picks into Sephora stores, the app and the website. **The number to correct first:** every report quotes *over 20 brands and more than 180 products*, but that covers **Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand combined**. Sephora Singapore's own page reported **95 Results from 12 brands** on 1 September, priced **$13 to $75**, all still marked *Coming Soon*. Three brands missing from the published Singapore lists are **haruharu wonder, HEVEBLUE and Ma:nyo**, and Ma:nyo holds the cheapest items at **$13**. **Two gifts, two thresholds, and the lower one is harder to get:** spend **$65** on the Edit for an exclusive insulated tote, valid **across stores, the app and online**; or spend **$40** at the **ION Orchard Launchpad only** for a Tyvek pouch. So online and non-ION shoppers should ignore the $40 entirely. Two items can hit $65 exactly (ONGREDIENTS Skin Barrier Calming Lotion $28 plus Celimax Pore and Dark Spot Brightening Cream $37), and one $40 item clears the ION bar (Torhop Loyly Green Mud Collagen Mask). **The detail no news report carried**, printed on Sephora's own campaign banner: **Gold Beauty Pass members get early access from 8am, with exclusive gifts for the first 200 customers at Sephora ION Orchard**. Both ION Orchard and Sephora ION normally open at **10am**, so that is a two-hour head start, it is a **headcount cap not a spend**, Gold is earned on past spend so you cannot join on the day, and **Sephora prints no date beside the 8am**. Sephora ION Orchard also becomes one of only **three regional K-Beauty Discovery Launchpads**, with Fahrenheit 88 in KL and Siam Center in Bangkok. Both gifts read **while stocks last with no published end date**, and nothing says they stack. Full brand-by-brand price table and the 8am fine print →

**Trust Bank turned four on 1 September and is running a week of S$3 coupons in the Trust App, 1 to 7 September 2026.** Seven brands, read off Trust's own deals page: **S$3 Kopitiam Buddy Set** (built for two), **S$3 Grande-sized Starbucks drink**, **S$3 Spicy Chicken King Burger at Burger King**, **S$3 Prata Blaster at Springleaf Prata Place**, **S$3 Shihlin Favourites**, **S$3 Shio Pan Set at Butter Town** and a **S$3 single scoop gelato at Birds of Paradise**. Trust's own anniversary artwork adds that **one-day mystery treats** will drop during the week, so the list can grow before Sunday. **The gate is the card.** Trust states its discounts can only be redeemed with Trust cards, not on a DBS, Citi or OCBC card, so this is closed to you if you do not bank with them. To claim: open the coupon in the Trust App first (Rewards tab from the Homepage or Money page, then Coupons), then pay with the Trust card. The coupons are free and cannot be bought with Linkpoints, rewards are not transferable and nobody can claim one on your behalf, and some redemptions need a pincode from the merchant staff at the outlet. Outlet lists, eligible items and stock caps are set per coupon and these run while stocks last, so read the coupon before you queue at lunch.

**Bee Cheng Hiang's 9.9 sale went live on its web store on 1 September 2026, and the flash printed above everything else is ONLINE EXCLUSIVE, so none of it works at the counter.** The banner headlines **15% off Gourmet Fusion in 500g and 600g and 25% off the 1kg**, **Bakkwa Bites 250g at $9.90** against a usual $16.25 (a 39% cut), snacks **up to 34% off**, a **$4.99 delivery fee**, and gifts at **$80, $100 and $199** spend. **The best buy is a sizing quirk:** only the 250g Bakkwa Bites was repriced, so at $9.90 it is now **$3.10 cheaper than the untouched 200g pack at $13.00**, for 50g more. There is no reason to take the 200g. **The catch most readers will miss is that the brand's own 9.9 Sales page lists only eight products.** Four more discounted lines sit in the ordinary categories instead: under Rolls, **Golden Floss Roll 165g, Crispy Chicken Roll 165g and Puffed Rice Seaweed Roll 70g are all $9.90 against a usual $14.80**, and under Snacks, **Bakkwa Layer 90g is $19.90, or 2 for $35, against $22.80**. Shop the categories, not the sale page. On Gourmet Fusion the product page still shows the undiscounted $26.40 to $88.00 range with no struck-through price, so the cut lands in the cart: on the brand's own $88 per kilo that puts a kilo at **$66.00**, 600g at **$44.88** and 500g at **$37.40**, and the 300g is not in the promotion at all. **The gift ladder pays best in the middle:** $80 gets 2 Piglet Baskets worth $6.00, $100 gets a Chess Mooncake worth $16.80, and $199 gets a Black Sesame White Lotus Mooncake worth $23.00, so $20 more buys $10.80 more gift while the last $99 buys only $6.20 more. **Read the delivery fee at checkout.** The banner says $4.99 while every product page and the FAQ still say a flat $8 that is free above a $50 spend, with a written warning that the fee and the free-delivery threshold can rise during peak periods, and Mid-Autumn is a peak period. **And the comparison that matters:** the Mala Crispy Pulled Pork Twist 200g was **$10.92** in the National Day sale that ran to 10 August, a 61% cut. It is **$19.90** now, which is $8.98 more for the same pack four weeks later. Website prices are GST inclusive. No sale-end date is published anywhere on the brand's pages; the only date on the artwork is that **delivery slots run to 24 September**, the day before Mid-Autumn Festival on Friday 25 September.

**Sentosa Development Corporation's promotions page lists a 1-for-1 across seven island attractions for Mastercard credit and debit cardholders, with a valid-till date of 30 November 2026.** Each merchant sets its own named offer rather than a blanket discount: **Skypark Sentosa by AJ Hackett** gives 1-for-1 on the **Giant Swing** ($69 a person on Skypark's own site, so two swing for $69 instead of $138, the largest single saving here); **The Palawan @ Sentosa HyperDrive** gives 1-for-1 on **all ticket categories**, the only entry with no ticket-type restriction (Junior Kart $41, Senior Kart Go-Kart Race $46, Dual Kart $51, Game of Karts $56, all GST-inclusive); **Mega Adventure Park** on **MegaZip** only ($59 a person online), not MegaClimb or MegaJump; **Madame Tussauds Singapore** on a **Standard Ticket with Jumanji: Safari Tours 4D Expedition and a Digiphoto** (from $29 online against a $34 usual price); **AltitudeX Indoor Skydiving** on the **Teaser package** (from $59, U.P. $99); **Sentosa 4D AdventureLand** on the **4-in-1 Combo**; and **Scentopia** on the **50ML Perfume Workshop**. **The line that decides whether this is worth using is the second term: the promotion is valid only for purchase at the participating merchant's counter, so you cannot book it online.** That is a real cost, because several of these operators price online below their own walk-up rate. Mega Adventure states on its homepage that booking online saves 10% off over-the-counter prices, and Madame Tussauds' $29 online standard ticket sits against a $34 usual price. Going alone, book online and skip this. Going as a pair, the counter wins comfortably. The offer also cannot be used with any other Sentosa Development Corporation or IP promotion, and the terms set no end date of their own beyond 'while stocks lasts', so the 30 November date on the listing is a ceiling rather than a promise. Sentosa Express from VivoCity Level 3 is $4 standard entry.

**Resorts World Sentosa's promotions page now carries 'Special Treats for Kids This September', dated 5 to 30 September 2026 on both the page and the campaign key visual, which is headed 'School Holiday Treats for Little Ones!'.** Five participating restaurants are named: **KA-MON** (Hotel Michael L1), **Syun** and **Soi Social** (Hotel Michael L2), **Ocean Restaurant** (Equarius Hotel) and **Table by Pierre Herme** (WEAVE #01-234). **Then the page stops.** It describes the deal only as 'exclusive kids' dining offers' unlocked by 'a qualifying minimum spend by accompanying adults', tells you to browse the outlets below to discover the offers, and the outlet cards carry a photo, a cuisine tag and a booking button with **no offer on them at all**. We checked all five restaurants' own pages on rwsentosa.com: **not one mentions the campaign.** So 'kids eat free at RWS' is an assumption nobody has printed. **What we could price is the thing being given away.** Three of the five publish a kids' set: **KA-MON's Little Samurai Box $22++, Soi Social's three-course kids menu $22++ and Syun's Nyanko Box $35++** ($26.38, $26.38 and $41.97 nett), and Syun's headline wagyu hamburg steak omurice carries a **+$15 supplement** that takes that combination to $50++. **Ocean Restaurant and Table by Pierre Herme publish no kids' menu at all**, which makes their inclusion the most interesting line on the list. **All three published sets are printed 'age 5 to 12 only'**, so a four-year-old and a 13-year-old are both outside a campaign aimed at families. Adult prices for sizing the unpublished spend: Soi Social set lunch **$38++/$48++**, KA-MON Teishoku **$39++**, Syun Ohirugohan **$45++**, Ocean Restaurant **$48++/$60++**. Two adults on Soi Social's two-course lunch plus one kids' set is $98++, about **$117.50 nett**. **The timing catch:** the school break is 5 to 13 Sep, so **17 of the promotion's 26 days fall after the holidays end**, and the quiet time to use it is the last two weeks of September. **The stacking catch:** all five outlets are on RWS's Dine and Enjoy Free Parking list (min SGD20 on one dine-in receipt, redeemed same day, one per person per day), but those terms say the parking coupon is 'not to be used in conjunction with other promotional offers, discount and other vouchers'. Code **RWSONLINE** also takes 5% off bookings made on rwsentosa.com, with no word on stacking either. **Call 6577 6688 or email dining@rwsentosa.com and ask two things before you plan a Sentosa trip around it: what the child actually receives at that outlet, and what the adult spend is.**

**I'm Kim Korean BBQ opens three separate promotions on 1 September, all published on operator Kingdom Food Group's own page, and the deal roundups have picked up only two of them.** The missing one is the **September Early Bird: $14.90++ at lunch and $21.90++ at dinner, and it runs to 31 October**, not to the end of September. **Priced against the brand's own rate card** ($18.90++ adult lunch, $28.90++ Mon-Thu dinner, $29.90++ Fri-Sun) that is **$17.87 nett instead of $22.66** at lunch and **$26.26 instead of $34.65 or $35.85** at dinner. **The comparison nobody publishes: the Early Bird beats the 4+1 group deal on every table of five adults.** Five people on the Early Bird pay **$131.29 nett** at dinner against **$138.60** (Mon-Thu) or **$143.40** (Fri-Sun) on 4+1, because four adult rack rates cost more than five discounted ones; at lunch it is $89.33 against $90.64. 4+1 only wins in two cases, when you cannot make the entry window (11.30am to 12pm, or 5.30pm to 6.30pm on a weekday) and when the fifth diner is a child, since the free seat goes to the lowest payer. **The Early Bird is also a price rise in disguise:** August's version, which closed yesterday, was **$12.90++ and $20.90++** on a **90-minute** table with lunch entry open a full hour to 12.30pm. September is $2 and $1 dearer, cuts the table to **80 minutes** and halves the lunch window. **The genuinely cheap one is the Student 1-for-1, 1 to 13 September**, which covers Teachers' Day on Fri 4 Sep and the whole 5 to 13 Sep school break: two students at the 2pm lunch sitting split **$15.90++**, about **$9.53 each nett** against $19.06, and dinner works out at about $16.13 (Mon-Fri 5.30pm) or $16.73 (Sat-Sun 5pm). Student Pass required, age 23 or under, minimum 2 paying students, 80 minutes. **The 4+1 hides one cost the poster does not print:** it caps the table at 90 minutes, while I'm Kim's published dining duration for a party of five or more at dinner is **110 minutes**, so the discount costs you 20 minutes of grill time. **All three are booking-first:** reserve online and type the code into Reservation Notes (1+1, EB or 4+1), follow the restaurant's Facebook or Instagram, and tell the host before entering. Nothing stacks, 4+1 forbids splitting the bill, and every price is before the 10% service charge and 9% GST. One outlet only: School of the Arts, 1 Zubir Said Drive #01-04, five minutes from Dhoby Ghaut MRT Exit A. Calendar quirk worth knowing: both August offers ended on 30 August and the September set opened on 1 September, so 31 August was the single day with no I'm Kim promo running at all.

**Typhoon Cafe has put its Taiwanese buffet on Kids Dine Free for the whole of September: 1 child below the age of 10 dines free with every 2 paying buffet adults, 1 to 30 September 2026, at Plaza Singapura #04-63/67, its only outlet.** The value is easy to check because Typhoon prices the child seat on its own buffet menu: **$15.90++ at lunch and $18.90++ at dinner**, which is **$19.06** and **$22.66** once the 10% service charge and 9% GST land. Two adults and one child at dinner drops from **$91.96 nett to $69.30 nett**. **The two conditions that are not on the poster and only appear in the T&Cs on Typhoon's own promotions page:** it is **valid Monday to Thursday only**, and it is **strictly applicable to guests with prior reservations and not redeemable for walk-in diners**, so an unbooked family gets nothing at the door. **What Monday to Thursday costs you:** 18 of the month's 30 days qualify (1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30 Sep), and inside the 5 to 13 September school break only **four** do, Monday 7 to Thursday 10. Teachers' Day on Friday 4 September does not. **What it quietly saves you:** the same menu adds **$3++ per person from Friday to Sunday** and on public holidays and their eves, so the qualifying days are also the cheapest days. **The 10-year-old trap:** the buffet's child price band is printed as 5 to 10 years old, but the promotion is strictly for children **below** 10, and proof of age may be requested, so a 10-year-old pays the child rate and cannot be the free seat. The ratio is fixed at 2 paying adults per free child (4 adults = 2 children) with a minimum of 2 paying adults, so one parent and one child does not qualify. Buffet customers only, dine-in only, 80 minutes per sitting, no stacking with other promotions, vouchers, membership or VIP privileges, no public holidays or their eves, while stocks last. Adult rates Monday to Thursday: $19.90++ lunch early bird (11.30am to 12pm), $23.90++ lunch (12pm to 2pm), $24.90++ dinner early bird (5.30pm to 6pm), $28.90++ dinner (6pm to 8pm). Cheapest family route: two adults on the 11.30am early bird plus the free child, $47.72 nett for three.

**SAFRA's EnergyOne gym chain is giving new sign-ups a $61 joining fee plus an additional 15% off the subscription fee, 1 to 30 September 2026.** The stacking is explicit rather than assumed: SAFRA's terms state the 15% comes from the BE@SAFRA September promotion and is applied on top of the prevailing EnergyOne Q3 (July to September) promotion, which is the SG61 offer that set the $61 fee. **What it costs**, read off EnergyOne's own 12-month rate cards and inclusive of 9% GST: a guest **Term All Day** membership falls from $75 to $63.75 a month, so $826 all-in against $1,120; **Term Off-Peak** from $55 to $46.75, so $622 against $880; a SAFRA member's **Platinum** from $50 to $42.50, so $571 against $790; **Dependent** from $40 to $34, so $469 against $575. **Free gym access on each club's Open House day:** Sat 5 Sep at SAFRA Jurong, Mount Faber, Punggol, Tampines and Toa Payoh, Sun 6 Sep at Yishun, Sat 12 Sep at Choa Chu Kang, both Saturdays falling inside the 5 to 13 Sep school break. A weekend day pass otherwise costs $17.50 for the public and $11.50 for SAFRA members. **Two things the headline hides.** The $220 usual fee is the Term admin fee charged to non-members, so a SAFRA member on Platinum is saving against $190 and a Dependent against just $95. And the promotion page lists 6, 8 and 12-month terms as eligible, while both sign-up pages state the discounted fee applies only to 12 and 18-month memberships and is not applicable to a 6-month one, with no rate card publishing an 8-month tenure at all. New sign-ups only, minimum age 16, fees payable in advance and non-refundable. **Cheaper route if you qualify:** the Student membership (16 to 21, Singaporean or PR) is $35 a month over 12 months plus a $25 admin fee with all-day access, which is $445 for the year and undercuts every promotional price above. It is not eligible for any promotion, and does not need to be.

**Dreame's X60 Ultra Extreme goes on sale in Singapore today, and the 11 August press release that every wire reprinted contains no Singapore price at all.** Here it is, off both storefronts on 1 September: **S$1,799** at dreame.sg and **S$1,799** at COURTS, same machine, same SKU DM-X60UEX-GL. The two shops get there differently. Dreame lists it at **S$1,871** and applies a **S$72 voucher** for you; COURTS simply prints S$1,799. **THE PART THAT MATTERS: they disagree about the usual price.** Dreame says S$2,499 and badges it Save 25%; COURTS says S$2,299 and badges it Save 22%. The S$200 gap in the claimed base is the entire difference between those two badges, so judge this on the S$1,799 and on the gifts, not the percentage. **THE VARIANT TRAP:** Dreame's **No Installation** and **+ Kit (With Installation)** options are priced identically at S$1,871, while Dreame separately sells installation for this model at S$299 and the water hookup kit at S$259. Its launch gift bundles run up to **S$807** in listed value (installation S$299, 1.5-year accessory pack S$249, hookup kit S$259), so choosing No Installation saves nothing and gives up a lot. COURTS instead advertises free accessories **worth S$399**, unitemised, and upsells extended warranties at S$342 and S$570. **NEITHER SHIPS THIS WEEK:** Dreame's button reads **PRE-ORDER** and COURTS lists the item **on an indent basis**, and neither publishes a dispatch date. Also ignore the **S$1,599 / Save $900** block still sitting further down Dreame's own launch page: its button is a dead anchor and nothing on the site sells at that price. The previous flagship X60 Ultra is S$1,571 in the same sale, so the Extreme is a S$300 step up. Countdown ends **23:59 on 30 September 2026**.

**Old Chang Kee's Current News and Promotions page put the Salted Egg Taro Mochi'O (咸蛋芋泥麻薯角) on sale at all outlets today, 1 September, and its own line reads "from 1 Sep till 30 Sep 2026, or while stocks last".** It is a 福-stamped puff filled with taro paste, a whole salted egg yolk and mochi, and the artwork prints two prices: **1 for $3.80, 2 for $6.80.** **The comparison nobody makes is against Old Chang Kee's own back catalogue, which sits on the same page.** Last year's Mid-Autumn puff was the **Salted Egg Yam'O**, which carried the **identical Chinese name 咸蛋芋泥角** and the same red 福 stamp, ran **8 September to 12 October 2025** and cost **$3.60 a piece** with no bundle price on its artwork. So the single has gone up **$0.20** (5.6%) for the mochi, but **$6.80 for two is $3.40 a piece, which is $0.20 BELOW last year's single**. Buy in pairs and this is the cheaper puff despite the higher shelf price; buy one and it is the dearer one. There is no scenario where a single is better value, and the bundle needs no app, code, membership or minimum spend. **Two things to watch.** First, the brand's line ends with **while stocks last**, which outranks the 30 September date, and **Mid-Autumn Festival 2026 is Friday 25 September**, so the festival week is when stock pressure lands and the promotion only carries a five-day tail past it. Second, **that line names outlets only**: several other current Old Chang Kee items on the same page explicitly say "and on delivery platforms", and this one does not, so search the delivery app rather than assuming it is listed. For scale, the same page's other live items are **Turnip K8 $1.50/pc, Fried Mantou with Milky Mayo $2/onstik, Sotong Ball $2.30/onstik, the Shiok! Salted Egg boxes $4 and the 36-piece Party Platter Box $26.80** (and the Shiok! poster still carries a Buy & Win contest whose entry window shut on 13 July 2025). Full price history and fine print →

**adidas Singapore's 9.9 sale is live at adidas.com.sg, and the widely repeated "30% off selected styles" is not what adidas prints.** Its own homepage and sale page both read **EXTRA 30% OFF IN CART ON SELECTED STYLES**, and the badge only appears on stock that already carries a markdown. On the evening of 1 September the season sale listing held **3,634 items** and **all 48 cards on its first page were badged**; on the full-price men's shoes listing, **48 out of 48 carried no badge at all**, including new lines like the Adizero EVO SL (S$209) and full-price *Members exclusive* products. **So the markdown already on the tag sets your saving**, because the 30% multiplies it: a **-10%** item ends at **37% off**, **-20%** at 44%, **-30%** at 51%, **-40%** at 58% and **-50%** at **65% off**. That distribution is not flat. Of the first 40 sale cards adidas served, 8 were at -10%, 10 at -20%, 16 at -30%, 5 at -40% and only **one** at -50%, so the main rail is a 44-to-51% event. **The exception is the Last Sizes rail** (adidas.com.sg/last_sizes), **152 products on 1 Sep, every card at a flat 50% and every card badged**: Ultraboost 1.0 S$259 to about **S$90.65**, Gazelle Indoor Pro S$209 to about **S$73.15**, Nizza S$99 to about **S$34.65**, VL Court 2.0 S$115 to about **S$40.25**, Adilette 22 XLG Slides S$109 to about **S$38.15**. The catch is the section name: these are the leftover sizes. **No promo code**, the discount lands in the cart, and it **cannot be combined with other offers, vouchers or codes, adiClub ones included**. **Tuesday 1 Sep is adiClub members only and you must be signed in**; it opens to all shoppers from Wed 2 Sep. adidas prints **no end date** on its own pages; SingPromos reports 11.59pm on 10 Sep. adiClub members also get free shipping, and stock is only confirmed at the shipping confirmation email, which matters on a Last Sizes buy.

**Yakiniku Like Singapore has opened this month's Members' Ni Ku Promo: 50% off the A5 Wagyu Set 150g, usual price $25.90, from Saturday 29 August to Monday 28 September 2026, for Foodie San members with a minimum spend of $40 nett.** Half of $25.90 is **$12.95**, and the poster's own footer adds a 10% service charge and prevailing GST, so what lands on the bill is **$15.53** against $31.05 at full price. The poster photographs the set as a long plate of marbled wagyu with rice, soup and a small side, and carries the Miyazaki wagyu seal. **The comparison the poster does not make:** Yakiniku Like separately runs Daily Value Deals, 30% off one featured item a day with any set meal, and **Monday's item is A5 Wagyu 100g at a usual price of $23.90**. That works out at **$16.73 for 100g of meat on its own**, against **$8.63 per 100g** in this set with rice and soup thrown in, so the Ni Ku promo is roughly half the price per gram of wagyu. The two are not the same cut, and the brand's own pricing says so: $23.90 buys 100g a la carte while $25.90 buys 150g plus rice and soup. **The $40 nett bar is softer than it looks:** because the poster puts service charge and GST on top of menu prices, $40 nett is only about **$33.36** of menu prices, so order $40 of menu-priced food and you clear it whichever way the restaurant counts. Assume the discounted wagyu set does not count toward the bar. **What the poster does not print:** any stacking clause, any dine-in line and any per-table limit, only the words T&Cs Apply. Every earlier Ni Ku run this year carried a non-combinable condition and was dine-in, so assume both. **Why the odd dates:** ni-ku reads as 2-9 in Japanese and is also the word for meat, so this promo always runs the 29th to the 28th; a new one will open on 29 September and it will be a different offer. All 13 outlets: 313@somerset, AMK Hub, Bukit Panjang Plaza, Clementi Mall, Compass One, Junction 8, Pasir Ris Mall, PLQ Mall, Suntec City, Tampines 1, The Cathay, VivoCity and Westgate.

**King Koil's annual warehouse sale is back on its own campaign page at kingkoil.com.sg/promo, running Thursday 3 to Monday 7 September 2026, with up to 70% off selected items across more than 3,000 products: luxury mattresses, Italian sofas, dining sets and more.** All four showrooms are in it and the page lists every one at 10am to 9pm. **King Koil Gallery @64 Sungei Kadut Loop**, Level 1, S729493; **Alexandra Megastore**, 12 Jalan Kilang Barat, L1 to L6, S159354; **Marina Square**, 6 Raffles Boulevard, #03-300-303 and 346-348, S039594; **Bendemeer**, 72 Bendemeer Road, #01-06 Luzerne Building, S339941. Two things the page does that are worth knowing before you drive out. First, **it publishes no sale price at all**: the six products it features carry usual prices only, $5,129, $4,809 and $4,499 for three bedsets and $7,989, $5,742 and $2,259 for three sofas, and the actual sale numbers sit in a catalogue you have to request with your name, email and phone, or collect in person at the Sungei Kadut gallery. So the 70% cannot be attached to anything you can see, and at a clearance the deepest cuts are usually ex-display and end-of-line stock. Second, **the same page gives the Sungei Kadut gallery two different sets of hours**, 10am to 9pm in the showroom list and 11am to 8pm in the catalogue block above it, so assume the narrower one. That gallery is also the newest of the four, it is the building photographed on the campaign artwork, and it was still absent from King Koil's own store locator when we queried it on 28 Aug (the locator returns only Bendemeer, Alexandra and Marina Square). Nothing on the page mentions delivery, old-mattress disposal or exclusions beyond the words "T&Cs apply". Context on the headline: the annual sale has carried the same up-to-70% line in past years (31 Aug to 4 Sep in 2023, 29 Aug to 2 Sep in 2024), and King Koil has run something most months of 2026, so 70% is the year's high-water mark rather than a one-off.

**Sushi Express has skinned its conveyor belt in Tetris, and the poster prints four conditions that all have to be true at once: stack 10 plates or more, stack the same colours together, use a minimum of 3 plate colours, and show the stack to the service crew when you request the bill.** Rule three is the one that costs money. At a belt restaurant the plate colour **is** the price tier, so a table piling up ten of the cheapest colour does not qualify: the discount only unlocks once you have ordered across three price bands, which lifts the bill before it takes anything off it. Price that trade first, because 10% of a $30 bill is **$3** and 10% of an $80 bill is **$8**, and a plate bought purely to unlock a third colour can cost more than the discount returns. What most coverage skips is the base: the poster says **10% off your total bill**, not off the plates, so drinks, side dishes and desserts all earn it. Two brands run it on two different plate sets, and that matters: the **Sushi Express** artwork shows white, black, pale yellow and green, the **Sushi Plus** artwork shows white, blue, black and yellow, so the three colours you need at one are not the three you need at the other. **争鲜gogo** is on neither poster, and it is the group's takeaway format rather than a belt restaurant. Sushi Express's own locations page lists **39 Singapore outlets**: 21 Sushi Express, 15 争鲜gogo and 3 Sushi Plus (313@somerset, Bugis Junction, Tampines 1), so **24** are in play. Running alongside since 27 Aug: a purchase-with-purchase on a **$30** minimum spend for the Tetris Mini Pouch & Tote Set at **$10.90** member, **$7.90 plus 1,000 points**, or **$12.90** non-member, while stocks last, with membership and points both living in the Sushi Express app. One caveat worth stating plainly: **neither poster carries a date**. The campaign banner is live on sushiexpress.com.sg, and local coverage puts the window at 11 Aug to 28 Sep 2026, which we could not confirm against the brand's own channels. Sushi Express also publishes no plate prices anywhere on its site, so the in-store colour chart is your only reference.

**Xiaomi Singapore's REDMI Note 17 campaign banner prints four early bird prices. The REDMI Note 17 Series Open Sale terms and conditions publish seven, and the three the banner omits are where the money is.** Off Xiaomi's own terms: REDMI Note 17 6+128 **S$319** (U.P. S$369) and 6+256 **S$349** (U.P. S$399); REDMI Note 17 5G 6+256 **S$399** (U.P. S$449) with a free REDMI Buds 8; REDMI Note 17 Pro 5G 6+256 **S$499** (U.P. S$549) and 8+256 **S$519** (U.P. S$599); REDMI Note 17 Pro Max 5G 8+256 **S$669** (U.P. S$749) and 8+512 **S$769** (U.P. S$849), the Pro and Pro Max all with a free REDMI Headphone Neo. The banner shows only S$669, S$499, S$399 and S$319, so it hides two of the campaign's three S$80 cuts. **The best line is the Pro 5G 8+256.** At list it sits S$50 above the 6+256; during the early bird the 6GB drops S$50 and the 8GB drops S$80, so the gap collapses to **S$20** (S$499 against S$519). Two extra gigabytes of RAM for twenty dollars is the cheapest upgrade in the campaign, and it is the only place on the ladder where the discount changes size mid-model. **The rung to skip is the 4G REDMI Note 17 6+256 at S$349**, because S$50 more buys the 5G 6+256 at S$399 with a pair of REDMI Buds 8 that Xiaomi's own comparison page prices at **S$59.90**: you pay S$50 and receive about S$60 of earbuds plus the modem. Neither 4G configuration gets a gift at all. **On the dates, the roundups are wrong.** They file this as a pre-order closing 2 September; the terms set the campaign period at 27 Aug 2026 20:00 to **30 Sep 2026 23:59** SGT and say plainly that purchases after that get neither the discount nor the gift. **mi.com/sg and the Mi Store app only** (Authorised Dealers sell the phones, but the terms say the gift may vary), one gift per phone serial, first come first served while stocks last, not exchangeable for cash and not covered by Xiaomi's standard warranty, Singapore residents 18 and above. And the **S$1,266 in free gifts** being quoted everywhere is on neither the campaign page nor the terms: the page's own line reads Free Gift Worth up to SGD65.9, and the larger figure is a valuation of service cover (24-month quality assurance, one free screen replacement within 24 months, one free battery replacement within 48 months, 30% off Xiaomi Care, double Mi Points, six-month Google One 200GB and two-month YouTube Premium trials).

**Agoda's dedicated DBS/POSB page at agoda.com/dbssunday is already showing next Sunday's promo code, DBSSSUNDAY32, described on the page as live from 1am SGT on 30 August 2026.** The banner reads "Enjoy S$100 off with a minimum spending of S$200 on your hotel bookings! (Limited Redemptions Only)", and the phrase "50% off" that every roundup repeats appears nowhere on it. It is a **flat S$100**, which happens to equal 50% at exactly the S$200 minimum and then falls away fast: 33% at S$300, 20% at S$500, **10% at S$1,000**. Four conditions off Agoda's own terms decide whether you get it at all. Only rooms marked **"Promo Eligible"** count and **pay-at-hotel rates are excluded**, so you prepay. The S$200 is measured on **accommodation room charges only**, excluding taxes, service fees, processing fees and personal expenses, so a booking that costs you more than S$200 all-in can still fail the test. The code is **redeemable once per user, and Agoda counts a cancelled or amended booking as having used it**. And redemptions run against a **weekly allocation on a first-come first-served basis**, which is why the code activates at 1am and why the coupon field disappears once the week is sold out. One decision for this weekend: Agoda's other DBS page (agoda.com/dbs) is running the Aug Mega Sale to 31 Aug with a stackable extra 20% **capped at S$50**, the two are non-cumulative, so on Sunday 30 August take the Sunday code on any booking of S$200+ room charges (S$100 against S$40 at S$200, S$100 against S$50 from S$250 up) and the Mega Sale page below that. Note that neither Agoda nor DBS prints a promotion period or stay period on the page; deal listings put it at every Sunday to 27 Dec 2026 with stays to 30 Jun 2027, and the code numbering fits (counting 25 Jan 2026 as Sunday one, 30 Aug is number 32), but it is not confirmed in writing.

**Seoul Garden is running 2+2 Gentlemen Night on Thursdays 3, 10, 17 and 24 September 2026, dinner only, 4pm to 10.30pm, at all six Singapore outlets: two gentlemen dine free with every two paying adults.** The condition most coverage drops is the tier: it is applicable to the **Premium tier and above only**, so the cheapest Regular tier ($34.90++ at weekday dinner) is excluded, and everyone at the table must take the same tier. Run the numbers and it still wins comfortably. A table of four pays 2 x $39.90++ = $79.80++, which is **$19.95++ a head, about $23.92** once 10% service charge and 9% GST land, against about **$41.85** a head for a Regular-tier dinner with no promotion. That is roughly 43% less for the *upgraded* spread, and it undercuts Seoul Garden's own Late Night Buffet from $27.90++ (about $33.46). **Party size is the trap:** a group of six still gets only two free seats, so six people pay about $31.89 each and seven people about $34.18, while eight (four paying, four gentlemen) drop back to $23.92. Book in fours or eights. Minimum four diners with at least two gentlemen; the free diners must be gentlemen, the two paying adults can be any gender. Kitchen last serving is 9.45pm, not 10.30pm, so reserve early. Halal certified. Outlets: Bugis Junction, Marina Square, Tampines Mall, Northpoint City, The Clementi Mall and IMM (six, not the seven being reported).

**OG's own campaign artwork prints the dates as 27 Aug till 4 Oct 2026 and three pillars across it: Storewide 20% OFF, Rewards Points Redemption and Free Gifts with Purchase.** The 20% is the in-store markdown at OG's only two stores, **OG Albert (60 Albert Street, 189969)** and **OG People's Park (100 Upper Cross Street, 058360)**, both open **11am to 8.30pm daily** per OG's site, and it is a markdown on **regular-priced** items: already-reduced lines and OG's grey-tag and red-tag clearance sit outside it. But the 20% is not the story. OG's own membership FAQ sets two bars for upgrading a free Basic member to **Gold**: **$75 nett same-day spend during the Anniversary Sale, against $300 nett after it**, a **4x** difference on the same upgrade, and OG's membership page says Gold renewal deliberately "runs in conjunction with the OG Anniversary Sale", which "typically starts on the last Thursday of August each year" (27 Aug 2026 is exactly that). Four conditions decide whether your spend counts: you must be **registered as a Basic member before you pay** (OG says earlier purchases cannot be used to upgrade), you must quote your mobile or email at **every** cashier, you **may combine same-day receipts**, and **OG Rewards redemption items and OG Shopping Vouchers do not count** towards the $75. Gold pays a **10% rebate on non-discounted merchandise** as stored value, **1 point per $10**, Gold-only promos and preview invites, running to **30 September the following year** with points redeemable to **31 October**. The catch that most write-ups miss: OG states that rebate is **not given in conjunction with other promotions**, so it will not stack on the 20%. Treat $75 as buying next year's rebate cheaply. Meanwhile the deepest cuts are online, not in store: OG's website listed **14 lines** in its OG 64th Anniversary collection on 27 Aug, all in stock, and **eight beat the 20%**: EGMONT Manuka Honey UMF12+ 1kg 3-pack **$225** (U.P. $675, 67% off), Ocean Health Omega-3 1000mg 250s twin pack **$79.90** (U.P. $222.50, 64%), Odette Riviera mixer **$64** (U.P. $149.90, 57%), Oxford Project sling bag **$29** (U.P. $59.90, 52%), COMVITA JKJ Red Ginseng drink 2-pack **$125** (U.P. $250, 50%) and three SHISEIDO sets at 44% to 48%. Delivery from **$2.99**, free above **$200**. Two online brand days stack this weekend only, both auto-applied at checkout: an extra **20% off regular-priced Lancome, 28 to 30 Aug**, and off **regular-priced Shiseido, 28 and 29 Aug**. Read "regular-priced" literally: the reduced anniversary sets are out. Paying by **NETS** at a manned counter takes a further **1% off a bill of $100 or more** (GST included), but Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay are excluded, partial payments do not count, and it is not valid online or at self-service kiosks.

**BEST Denki's Google Pixel 11 launch offer runs 20 Aug to 30 Sep 2026 at its retail outlets, and the headline number on the banner is the one that needs reading twice.** BEST Denki's own launch terms say "Voucher value varies by model and is marked down at the point of sale", and each 256GB product page proves it: the basket price is the listed price minus that model's voucher, exactly. **Pixel 11 $1,299 to $1,199** ($100 voucher), **Pixel 11 Pro $1,599 to $1,449** ($150), **Pixel 11 Pro XL $1,819 to $1,619** ($200), **Pixel 11 Pro Fold $2,499 to $2,249** ($250). The rest of the stack is tiered too: the **3-piece gift bundle worth $118** (35W GaN charger $24.90, 35W 10,000mAh power bank $62.90, T-11 Bluetooth speaker $29.90) goes to the Pro, Pro XL and Pro Fold, while the base Pixel 11 gets a **2-piece bundle worth $88** without the speaker, and the **6 months of Google One AI Pro ($173.94) plus 3 months of YouTube Premium ($41.94)** are Pro series only. Every model does get the **$200 trade-in bonus**, which BEST Denki says is additional to the Carousell-assessed value of your old phone, and **$100 off a Pixel Watch 5** in the same transaction ($569 for 41mm, $599 for 45mm). **The comparison that decides it:** the Google Store is running its own offer, **SGD450 off a Pixel Watch 5 or SGD450 of store credit** with a Pixel 11 Pro or Pro XL, but only **12 Aug to 4 Sep 2026, 23:59 SGT**. Price a Pro plus a 41mm Watch 5 both ways and the Google Store is **$1,818** against BEST Denki's **$2,018**. Buy the phone alone and BEST Denki is **$150 cheaper** with $118 of accessories on top. Have a phone to trade in and BEST Denki wins outright, because Google's Singapore offer has no trade-in at all. BEST Denki's stack is also **not combinable with any other in-store promotion**.

**7-Eleven Singapore restarted its snack-and-drink promotions today, and its own site shows three campaigns running side by side rather than the single "18 drinks from $1" line most write-ups have printed.** **$1 Deals** (26 Aug–8 Sep 2026) is **19 items at a flat $1** on 7-eleven.com.sg: Pocari Sweat Isotonic Water 500ml, Pokka Ice Mango Tea 500ml, Nescafé Original 240ml, Milo Gao 240ml, Pokka Zero Passion Fruit Tea 500ml, Suzuki Gourmet Coffee Hokkaido Latte 240ml, Eurocake Cookie / Brownie 28g / 35g (**2 for $1**), Meiji Hello Panda 47g, NOI Craze Hottis Seafood 40g, Vetrue Milk Rice Crackers 50g, Himalaya Salt Candy 15g, Milo Nuggets 25g, Trolli Sour Gecko / Britecrawlers, Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars 42g, Marigold Peel Fresh 200ml–250ml, Kukuru Juice With Yoghurt 280ml, American Heritage String Cheese 28g, Magnolia Milk 200ml and Oreo Mini Original 58.4g (the pouch pictured on 7-Eleven's own artwork is the **OREO x BTS** mini original). **Must Buy Lobang** (same 26 Aug–8 Sep window) is a separate poster stating **18 drinks available, from $1**: six at $1 (the six $1 drinks above), then Genki Chi Forest Watermelon Sparkling Water 480ml and Gatorade Bluebolt 515ml at **$1.20**, JJ Bandung Rose Milk Drink 500ml and Heysong C&C Sparkling Water Grape 500ml at **$1.30**, Authentic Tea House Ayataka Japanese Green Tea 500ml at **$1.40**, Nescafé Tiramisu Latte 280ml at **$1.50**, Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and 100 Plus Lemon Lime (all 500ml) at **$1.60**, and Pokka Jasmine Green Tea, Ice Lemon Tea and Ice Peach Tea 500ml at **$1.70**. **The useful bit only appears when you read both posters together.** Pokka's 500ml bottles are on both, so Ice Mango Tea and Zero Passion Fruit Tea cost **$1** while Jasmine Green, Ice Lemon and Ice Peach cost **$1.70**: identical brand, identical bottle size, **70% apart**, decided purely by flavour. The isotonic shelf runs the same way, Pocari Sweat 500ml at $1 against Gatorade 515ml at $1.20 and 100 Plus 500ml at $1.60, and on coffee the Nescafé Original, Milo Gao and Suzuki Hokkaido Latte 240ml cans are all $1 while the Nescafé Tiramisu Latte 280ml is $1.50. **The cheapest thing in either campaign is not a drink at all**: Eurocake Cookie or Brownie at **2 for $1** is the only multi-buy on the $1 list, so 50 cents a piece. **Three caveats before you make a trip.** 7-Eleven's page says the offer is "applicable to certain items at selected stores only" and links a **Full Range Store List**, which runs to **278 addresses** (including NTU, ITE College Central and the Institute of Mental Health) but is headed "Updated as of 27 October 2025", so it predates this campaign. Availability and prices vary from store to store and everything is while stocks last, so being on that list does not put the item on that shelf. And **7-Eleven publishes no usual prices for either campaign**, which is notable because its concurrent **Icy Treats** ice cream promotion, running the identical 26 Aug–8 Sep window, does list the everyday price against each offer (that is how Häagen-Dazs Mini Cups 3 for $11 gets called 45% off). Any "up to X% off" attached to the $1 list is someone's own price check, not 7-Eleven's figure. A third promotion, **Grocery Deals**, runs **26 Aug–22 Sep** promising groceries "at supermarket prices", with no item list and no prices published at all.

**Swensen's mochi-snowskin ice cream mooncakes are back for Mid-Autumn 2026 (Thu 25 Sep) in eight flavours: Mao Shan Wang, Durian King (D24), Sticky Chewy Chocolate, Sticky Chewy Chocolate Zer0 (no sugar added, 40% fewer kcal), Cookies 'N' Cream, the new Dubai Cookie (pistachio ice cream with kataifi and cocoa), Strawberry Mochi and Oriental Beauty Oolong.** **THE EARLY BIRD IS A BANK OFFER, NOT A SHOP-WIDE ONE.** The "up to 15% off" being reposted is the **Citi x Swensen's Ice Cream Mooncake Promo**, and Citi's own published terms are specific: **15% off from 10 Aug to 13 Sep 2026**, then **10% off from 14 to 25 Sep**, charged to a **Citi credit or Citibank debit card**, valid at **all Swensen's and Earle Swensen's outlets (27 listed, AMK Hub through Changi Airport T3) EXCEPT Swensen's Unlimited**, **for in-store purchases only**, and **not valid with other promotions, vouchers or discounts in the same bill or table**. **THE IN-STORE RULE IS THE TRAP:** the natural way to buy mooncakes is to pre-order on Swensen's eStore and pick a collection outlet and date, and that is exactly the route the discount does not cover, as the eStore's own product pages say: *bank promotions are only valid in-store*. The no-stacking clause also means the Citi 15% will not sit on the same bill as a member discount, so it is one lane or the other. **AND THE PRICE LADDER PUNISHES CHOICE.** Every set is four pieces, GST included: **Moonlit $52.50** and **Signature $52.50** ($13.13 a piece), **Full Eclipse $54** (4x Zer0), **Twilight $55**, **New Moon $60** (4x Mao Shan Wang), and **Create Your Own (Pick 4 Flavors) $60**, i.e. **$7.50 more than a preset four-piece box, $15 a piece against $13.13**, purely for choosing the flavours yourself. Signature and Moonlit between them already cover six of the eight. If in-store prices match the eStore's (Swensen's publishes no in-store price list), 15% takes a $52.50 box to about **$44.63**. **WHAT SWENSEN'S WON'T QUANTIFY:** the eStore checkout offers a **Member Early Bird discount** for free Cool Rewards members (select member, key the last 4 digits of your member ID) but the percentage appears on neither the mooncake page nor any of the six product pages. **THREE PAGES TO IGNORE:** Swensen's older mooncake page is still live, still advertising last year's **Pistachio Kunafa** and **Chempedak with Crumble**, every image on it dated Jul 2025, neither flavour in the eStore picker; **DBS's Swensen's mooncake page** now redirects with an error flag to the generic promotions page and then the homepage; and **SAFRA's Swensen's Mid-Autumn page returns a 404**. Take them out of the freezer 15–20 minutes before serving.

**Sentosa Development Corporation is running a spend-and-redeem with UOB: S$60 in a single receipt on attractions or dining inside Sentosa gets you one free "A Magical Island Adventure: Let's Set Sail with Disney Cruise Line" Glow-in-the-Dark Medallion Pin, blind packed. It runs 24 June to 20 September 2026: 26 days left.** **The part that is genuinely confusing sits on one page.** The body of Sentosa's promo page lists **NINE** redemption counters with opening hours: VivoCity Station Guest Services (daily 9am–6pm), **Beach Station Enquiry Lounge (daily 9am–9pm)**, Resorts World Station (10am–7pm), Imbiah Lookout (10am–7pm), Sensoryscape (10am–7pm), **the Palawan ticketing kiosk (6pm–9.30pm only)**, Sentosa Cove Resort Management Office (Mon–Fri 9am–5pm), and Golfer's Terrace and Roots at Sentosa Golf Club. But the **Terms and Conditions further down that same page name only TWO**: "Beach Station Enquiry Lounge i.e., Sentosa Guest Services Counters and the Ticketing and Redemption Kiosk at Palawan Beach." The terms are the half that binds, and the "i.e., Sentosa Guest Services Counters" gloss is ambiguous, but **Beach Station is named in both lists and has the island's longest hours, so go there.** **The catch nobody is writing about:** the qualifying rules punish the smart way to buy. Eligible purchases **"must be made in person at participating physical outlets within Sentosa"** and **"online purchases and other payment channels are not eligible"**, so the advance online booking every Sentosa guide recommends does not count at all. And the S$60 **"refers to the nett amount payable after all discounts and promotions"**, so a $70 list-price purchase bought at 20% off is a $56 receipt and no pin. **Redemption must be completed the same day as the purchase**, which makes the 6pm-opening Palawan counter useless for a daytime visit. **One genuinely generous detail:** the card does **not** have to be Singapore-issued, the terms accept UOB Debit or Credit Cards **issued in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam or Thailand**. **On collecting the set:** one pin per eligible transaction, while stocks last, no choosing the design, and Sentosa publishes no set size, its own artwork shows **eight designs**, which on the standard coupon-collector calculation means roughly **22 blind packs and over S$1,300** of counter spending for a full set. Treat it as a bonus on a day you were already spending S$60 on the island. It also **cannot be combined with other promotions**, so it will not stack with Sentosa's 1-for-1 attractions offer with Mastercard, a different card network, and one that does not start until 1 September anyway.

**DBS has now published the full terms for its PayLah! S$3 Saturday Cashback, which starts today, Saturday 29 August 2026, and runs every Saturday to 19 December: 100% of your spend back, capped at S$3, when you scan and pay with the DBS PayLah! app at participating hawker stalls, coffee shops, wet markets, JTC industrial canteens and heartland shops.** That is **17 Saturdays** and **2.7 million rewards**, about **40% more than 2025**. **Redemption opens at 6am** and closes once the day's **first 160,000 qualifying transactions** are used up, after which a **'Fully Redeemed'** banner appears in the app. **There is no minimum spend** and no particular credit card is needed. **THE RULE THAT WILL COST MOST PEOPLE MONEY: you get one redemption per Saturday and it attaches to your FIRST eligible transaction, not your biggest.** Buy a S$1.20 kopi first and that is your S$1.20 for the week, with a S$12 lunch afterwards earning nothing, so **make the first scan of the day one of at least S$3**. **THE OTHER TRAP: DBS has published an address-level participating merchant list as a 418-page PDF, and a stall that is not on it earns you nothing even if it accepts PayLah!.** The list covers about **8,700 named heartland shops** plus **120 hawker centres, 79 wet markets, 672 coffee shops and 62 JTC industrial canteens**, with stalls inside each venue listed by unit number; DBS says it will keep updating it. **The payment rail matters too**: it must be SGQR, NETS QR or PayNow UEN QR, so personal PayNow/PayLah! QR codes (an individual's name rather than a shop name) do not count, and neither do PayNow UEN payments routed through **19 named providers including ShopeePay, Fave, Qashier, ShopBack, HITPay and Stripe**. Shops inside private malls such as **Bugis Junction, Great World City and Tanglin Mall** are excluded, as are pharmacies, GPs, petrol stations, learning centres, vets, schools and hotels. Cashback lands in your **PayLah! account the same day**. One quiet gotcha worth fixing tonight: if your **PayLah! wallet limit is lower than your wallet balance** the cashback can fail (More > Manage Wallet > Wallet Limit). **And 29 August is also the LAST Saturday of DBS/POSB's S$3-off-eggs + S$3-off-rice offer at Sheng Siong and Giant**, so the two overlap for one day only; Sheng Siong does not restock August's allocation once it is gone, while Giant refreshes weekly, which makes Giant the better bet. Caught every week, the PayLah! campaign is worth up to **S$51** a person.

**F&N MAGNOLIA has put Disney's Breakfast Besties artwork: Winnie the Pooh as a bao, a breakfast sandwich, a fried egg, a biscuit and a "Hunny Milk" carton, onto its 946ml and 200ml fresh milk, and is running five collectible drawstring pouches alongside it from 17 August 2026, while stocks last.** The mechanic is printed on the carton itself: **"GET A DRAWSTRING POUCH, with purchase of 2 x 946ml MAGNOLIA Pasteurised Milk (assorted)"**, and F&N's press release adds a second route, **2 x 700ml MAGNOLIA Yoghurt Smoothie**. **The maths nobody reposting the artwork has done:** F & N Magnolia Fresh Milk 946ml is **$3.63** on fairprice.com.sg with a live **Any 2 for $6.55** that FairPrice's own product page dates **till 1 October 2026**, so one pouch costs **$6.55 of milk**, and **all five designs is 10 cartons: 9.46 litres, about $32.75**. If you already get through two cartons a week, five weeks of normal shopping gets the set and the pouch is effectively free; if you are buying to collect, that is 9.46 litres of pasteurised milk with a short fridge life for a fabric bag. **Three things the coverage drops.** F&N has published **no end date at all**, only "while stocks last", so there is nothing to wait for and the popular designs thin out first. The **200ml cartons carry the artwork but are NOT named in the redemption line**, which is written against 2 x 946ml pasteurised milk or 2 x 700ml Yoghurt Smoothie, and the small packs are exactly what a child will point at. And the pouches are **redeemed in store** ("available for redemption at" all leading supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores, minimarts and provision shops), not attached to the pack, so ask at the counter before you pay, at a minimart that also means the shop has to have received pouches at all. **"(assorted)" means you can mix flavours** across the chilled 946ml range. We also checked the alternative route: FairPrice's online store returned **no results** for "magnolia yoghurt smoothie" and "magnolia smoothie" on 25 August 2026, so treat that as an in-person chilled-aisle errand. **Do not confuse this with FairPrice's own Pooh collection**: FairPrice's loyalty page describes "Little Blooms, Big Adventures with Pooh", 2 July to 23 September 2026, at 1 bonus point per nett $30 single receipt with most items needing 3 points plus cash. Different programme, different deadline.

**Takashimaya Square, Basement 2 is a mooncake hall again. The Mid Autumn Festive Celebration 2026 opened Thursday 20 August and runs to Friday 25 September: Mid-Autumn day itself, daily 10am to 9.30pm, with 61 announced brands across seven categories and 539 items live in the Mid-Autumn section of Takashimaya's own online store when we checked this morning.** The announcement promised **early bird savings of "up to 30%"** and every write-up copied that ceiling. The store says otherwise: **Swiss Cottage Bakery's five SG Bundles are 35% off**, Bundle A **$73.60 → $47.84**, B **$69.60 → $45.24**, C **$70.60 → $45.89**, D **$68.60 → $44.59**, E **$67.60 → $43.94**. Below that: **Bread and Butter Bakehouse at 30%** (Mini Piglet baked pastry 4pcs **$26.80 → $18.80**, pineapple paste **$38.80 → $27.20**, red bean or custard snowskin 4pcs **$28.80 → $20.20**, mini truffle snowskin and traditional 2pc baked boxes **$54.50 → $38.15**), **Tily Tea at 20%** ($98 → $78.40) and **Rasa Sayang at 10%**. **THE CATCH IS THE OTHER END OF THE RANGE:** the early bird is set **brand by brand, not fair-wide**, and the hotel names people queue for carry none, **Goodwood Park Hotel's Assorted Nuts with Ham ('Kum Toy') 4pcs and Lotus Seed Paste with Four Yolks 4pcs are both a flat $100.00**, its Classic Baked Mooncakes with Artisanal Tea Set $76.00, all undiscounted. So there is nothing to wait for on a hotel box, and a good reason to delay it: Takashimaya's own listings say the baked mooncakes carry **no preservatives** and advise eating them **within 5 days**. Takashimaya is separately running a site-wide **DBP25** code, **$25 off every $250 spent** (T&Cs apply, exclusions not printed: confirm in the cart), which is roughly another 10% on a gifting order. Several boxes are also **not eligible for gift wrapping**, and Bread and Butter's Champagne, Cassis Vodka and Orange Whiskey snowskins **contain alcohol**. **UPDATE, 24 AUG:** Goodwood Park's discount is not missing, it is somewhere else, the hotel's own site runs a **25% early bird (30% on a Hotel Gourmet Card)** for online orders with a two-box minimum, and its terms state plainly that *"discounts may vary at stalls outside the hotel or various ordering platforms managed by external parties"*. The catch is that its collection window is **16–30 August only**, and the durian boxes are excluded: full detail here. → Full breakdown: every discounted brand, the DBP25 stack and what is NOT on offer

**YouTrip turned eight on 19 August and its campaign artwork says "Get 3% cashback & win free flights to Japan". Its own terms page adds two limits the announcement never mentions.** Opt in via the Promo banner on the YouTrip app homepage, then spend at least S$400 (or the foreign-currency equivalent, local spend counts too) on the card between **19 August and 15 September 2026**. The cashback is 3% of cumulative spend **capped at S$12**, and three per cent of S$400 is exactly S$12, so the cap binds the moment you qualify and every dollar after that earns nothing: **S$1,000 of spend is 1.2%, S$2,000 is 0.6%**. On top of that it goes only to the **first 3,038 participants to CROSS S$400** after opting in, not the first 3,038 to opt in. **The uncapped half is the better one:** the draw for **8 pairs of flight tickets to Japan** (each capped at S$2,000 a pair) is made from **all** qualifiers regardless of number, so opting in is still worth it after the 3,038 are gone. Watch what does not count: refunded or reversed transactions are stripped out, and four insurance MCCs (6300, 6381, 3429, 5960) count towards neither the S$400 nor the cashback, including the **travel insurance premium** a traveller would most naturally use to reach the minimum. Cashback lands in your YouTrip wallet **by 15 October 2026**; flight winners are contacted by the same date and have 14 days to reply. Prize covers flights only, no visas, insurance, baggage, seats, hotels or transfers, YouTrip picks the airline and travel partner, and blackout dates apply. **Free bit, no spend needed:** the Trippie pop-up at **Funan Atrium B2, 27–30 Aug** (Wed 27th 3–8pm, Thu–Sat 10am–9pm), existing users flash the app for a limited-edition anime tee **or** tote bag plus sticker sheet and keychain; sign up on the spot and you get all four.

**Jollibee Singapore has three set combos on one poster, all at $9.90, running now till 30 September 2026 at all 25 stores. The same poster prints three different savings, and nobody has done the arithmetic.** **Combo A** (Chicken Sandwich, 4pc Nuggets, Medium Fries, Drink) says **save $6.40**. **Combo B** (2pc Chickenjoy with rice, Medium Fries, Drink) says **save $8.45**. **Combo C** (2pc Chickenjoy, Spaghetti, Drink) says **save $9.25**. Add each saving back to the $9.90 and you recover the a-la-carte total Jollibee is comparing against: **$16.30, $18.35 and $19.15**, which makes Combo C a **48.3% discount**, Combo B **46.0%** and Combo A **39.3%**. Same $9.90, a **$2.85 spread**, which is 29% of what you pay. **Combo C is the buy.** The one reason to take B instead is fries: Combo C swaps the fries out for spaghetti rather than adding it, so **B is the only combo with both rice and Medium fries**. Combo A is also the only one with no Chickenjoy in it at all. **THE CATCH:** Jollibee's own announcement says the offer is **"for dine-in, takeout in all Jollibee stores"**, **delivery is not named**, so a foodpanda, GrabFood or Deliveroo order will not price at $9.90. The drink is a pick from the **Coca-Cola brands printed on the poster** (Coca-Cola, Coke Zero Sugar, Sprite, Fanta, Fuze Tea, Minute Maid Refresh, Dasani), not an open choice. Two of the 25 stores: **Caltex Jurong Spring and Caltex Yishun**, are drive-thru sites with no dining room, so takeaway is the only route there. Jollibee is **MUIS halal-certified** per the mark in its own website footer. **AND DO NOT CHECK THE WEBSITE TO CONFIRM IT:** as of this morning, jollibee.com.sg/our-deals lists OK Laksa, the Kaya Toast Sundae, Spicy Chicken Tenders and a Drive Thru VIP decal promo: **Shiok Savers is not on it at all**. The campaign lives on Jollibee's official Facebook and Instagram and on in-store artwork. → Full breakdown: the reconstructed a-la-carte prices, all 25 outlets and why Combo A is the trap

**Ayam Brand Singapore posted an eight-stop sampling roadshow to its own Facebook page on 19 August: complete a short survey at the booth and you get a free pulled chicken croissant, no purchase, no minimum spend, while stocks last.** The brand's own two poster cards print every stop: **Bedok MRT Sat 22 Aug 12pm** (already run), **Yishun MRT Sun 23 Aug 12pm**, **Jurong East MRT Wed 26 Aug 11am**, **Jurong East MRT Sat 29 Aug 12pm**, **Tampines MRT Wed 2 Sep 11am**, **Tampines MRT Sat 5 Sep 12pm**, **Woodlands MRT Wed 9 Sep 3pm** and **Hougang MRT Sat 12 Sep 12pm**. That is eight stops but only **six stations**: Jurong East and Tampines each get a weekday visit and a Saturday one three days apart, so missing the first is not fatal there; the other four are one-time visits. The flavour is fixed and named on the second card: **Pulled Chicken Truffle Mayonnaise**. What the campaign does NOT publish anywhere is an **end time** or a **quantity**, "while stocks last" is the only stated limit, so the printed time is the moment to be there, not a window. The useful companion number: that same can is **$3.48** at FairPrice, all seven flavours at one shelf price, and FairPrice's own promotion record has **Any 2 for $6.55** across the whole range from 20 Aug to 4am on 3 Sep: **$3.275 a can, 41 cents off a pair**, so **Wed 2 Sep** is the last full day to buy the flavour you tasted on offer, ten days before the roadshow's final stop.

**PAUL Singapore has cut its box of 12 mini macarons from $25.90 to $15.90 for Teacher's Day, and the box comes with a printed fill-in sleeve: Dear (teacher's name) / Happy Teacher's Day / Merci, (your name), so the personalisation is included rather than an upsell.** That is **$1.33 a macaron against $2.16**, a **$10 saving, 38.6% off**. PAUL announced it on **its own Instagram on 14 August 2026** with the window **20 August to 7 September**, then posted on **its own Facebook page on 21 August**: "It's here: our Teacher's Day special is officially open." Both prices are printed flat with no "++" on PAUL's artwork, so $15.90 is what a boxed gift carried out of the shop costs: PAUL's cafes add a service charge to dine-in bills, not to a box you take away. **The end date on the poster is not your deadline.** MOE's own press release on school terms and holidays for 2026 puts **Teachers' Day on Friday 4 September** and the Term III–IV vacation on **Saturday 5 to Sunday 13 September**, so the last school day: when schools actually celebrate and a gift changes hands, is **Thursday 3 September**, four days before the promo ends. Its final stretch only helps if you are giving it to a tutor, a coach or a preschool teacher on another calendar. **PAUL publishes no participating-outlet list, no stock cap and no delivery option**, and the box does not appear on its catering ordering site, so treat it as an in-store buy at its ten boutiques. **Four of those ten will waste a trip:** 8 Robinson is closed Saturday, Sunday and public holidays; Marina Bay Link Mall and both Ocean Financial Centre counters shut at 3pm on Saturday and do not open on Sunday; and Changi Airport T1 sits in the Departure/Transit Lounge, past immigration, so you cannot reach it without a boarding pass. The five that hold up at a weekend are **Takashimaya, Tanglin, MAISON PAUL Paragon, Suntec City and Jewel Changi Airport (#B1-225)**. Against the other Teacher's Day box in town, Châteraisé's 5-for-S$11 mix and match works out to $2.20 an item to PAUL's $1.33.

**Metro has extended its DELSEY PARIS luggage trade-in to 30 September 2026: bring in a used suitcase at Metro Paragon or Metro Causeway Point and take 40% off a new DELSEY PARIS case.** The two eligible collections are **TURENNE 2.0** (55cm / 68cm / 76cm / 29" trunk, four colours) and **CADENCE** (55cm / 76cm / 29" trunk, four colours), both 4-double-wheel expandable hard-case spinners with Zip SECURITECH 2 and a TSA lock. **The catch in the announcement is what it leaves out.** Metro's official Instagram post of 19 August 2026 says only "exclusive trade-in savings" and "Terms & Conditions apply", no percentage, no price. The numbers are printed on the campaign poster attached to that post: **40% OFF, "Usual: $519 - $709"**. So you pay roughly **$311.40 to $425.40**, saving **$207.60 to $283.60**, and because Singapore retail prices are GST-inclusive, that is the final till price, with no "++" afterwards. **Still unpublished anywhere:** what condition the traded-in suitcase must be in, whether the old case has to be any particular brand, and whether one trade-in unlocks one discounted suitcase or several, so phone first (Paragon 6835 3322, Causeway Point 6893 3322). **This cannot be done online:** we checked metro.com.sg on 21 August 2026 and neither collection appears in its 11-item DELSEY range; the site's standing MET8 code (8% off online) is a separate offer. **And there is a clock behind the clock.** On 20 July 2026 Metro Holdings filed an SGX announcement, *Update On Retail Operations And Retail Strategy*, stating it "will not operate its existing large-format department stores at Metro Paragon and Metro Causeway Point upon the conclusion of the existing lease arrangements". No closing dates were given and both stores are trading normally: Paragon 10am–9pm, Causeway Point 10.30am–9.30pm, but those are the only two shops running this promotion.

**The Singapore-exclusive Mofusand™ + Starbucks® collection returns on Monday 25 August 2026**, nine items from **$17.90 to $49.90**: Blind Box Key Chain $17.90, the two wristlet pouches (ginger and grey cat) $19.90 each, Classic Mug 12oz $29.90, Water Bottle 21.5oz $29.90, both plush keychains (Calico Cat with Hot Cup, Bearista Ginger Cat) $29.90 each, Stainless Steel Tumbler 17oz $49.90 and the Blind Box Key Chain Set $53.90. On sale **in store from opening: 6.30am at 24-hour outlets**, on the **Starbucks Online Store from 10am**, and on **LazMall and Shopee Mall from 12pm**; **limit 2 pieces per item per customer in a single transaction**, while stocks last. **The line nobody reposts is the blind box arithmetic:** three singles at $17.90 come to **$53.70**, so the $53.90 “set” is **20 cents MORE**, and Starbucks’ own copy never says the set guarantees one of each of the three designs, it only invites you to “complete your collection”. **Second catch:** the free Mofusand cup bag with a **$25 nett** delivery spend (excluding the delivery fee) is expressly **“not available for in-store purchase or Mobile Order & Pay”**, so ordering ahead in the Starbucks app earns nothing; it must be Starbucks® Delivers, GrabFood or foodpanda, one bag per qualifying transaction from 25 August. **Third:** two of each of the eight individual items is **$454.40**, while Starbucks notes its own Cards **hold a maximum of $300**, a full-limit haul cannot be paid from one card. Queue rules are strict: **no overnight queueing**, you must stay in the queue yourself with nobody joining your spot, and you mark a **Merchandise Order Sheet** before paying and collecting at a separate pick-up point. Separately, the **Mofusand Glass Voucher Pack** went on sale **online only at 10am today (Fri 21 Aug)**: **$44.90** for a limited-edition glass cup plus 2 Tall/Grande drink vouchers and 2 one-for-one Venti vouchers, a bundle Starbucks values at **$68**, max **5 packs per transaction**; the online store shut at 12am and reopened at 10am with a **virtual waiting room** (refreshing loses your place).

**Singapore Airlines' own Singapore promotions page has a new fare sale: booking runs 21 August to 10 September 2026, outbound travel now to 31 July 2027 (selected periods, blackout dates apply), across more than 70 destinations.** Economy from Singapore starts at **Kuala Lumpur S$158**, Penang S$208, Phnom Penh and Phuket S$248, Ho Chi Minh City, Medan and Siem Reap S$258, Bali S$298, Bangkok S$338, Hong Kong S$358, Delhi S$398, Perth and Darwin S$548, Seoul and Shanghai S$568, Sydney S$588, Osaka S$808, Istanbul S$838, Frankfurt, Munich and Paris S$848, London S$1,088, Tokyo S$1,008, and Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle S$1,188. Business Class starts at S$898 to KL and S$998 to Bali. **The two lines that change the maths sit in SIA's own FAQ, not the headline: the advertised fares are for RETURN bookings only, and the prices shown already include taxes and surcharges**, so S$158 is a round trip to KL with tax in, not a one-way teaser. **The trap:** the HSBCDEAL code advertised as "up to S$120 off" is really S$60 off per return ticket capped at two passengers, it only books 25-31 Aug, and it excludes Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, every fare under S$420 in the sale, the S$158 KL headline included. DBS50OFF does not start until 8 Sep, overlapping the sale by three days, and the Citi Prestige codes still shown on the page are marked fully redeemed from a July window. The only offer matching the sale window is Mastercard's S$50 of KrisPay miles (min spend S$1,000 on a KrisFlyer UOB Mastercard or S$1,200 on any other, first 200 registered redemptions, Kris+ registration required). Europe's cheapest fares are footnoted to winter departure windows, and New York has no promotional Economy fare at all.

**Raffles Singapore runs its 2026 mooncake discounts as TWO separate schemes, and almost every write-up merges them into one: quoting the in-store ladder as if it were the headline offer.** It is not. **ONLINE**, at rafflescelebrations.com.sg, it is a flat **20% off** when you pay with an **AMEX, Citi, DBS, OCBC, HSBC or UOB** credit or debit card. Raffles states the discount is **applied automatically at checkout**, so there is **no promo code** to hunt for, and it holds at 20% right through to **18 September 2026** (1 Aug start for the five partner banks; 10 Aug for UOB, whose 30% super-early-bird ran out on 9 August). **IN-STORE**, at the **Raffles Mooncake Booth, 328 North Bridge Road**, the rate takes any form of payment but steps **down**: **20% off 3–16 Aug** (finished), **15% off 17–31 Aug** (now finished), **10% off 1–25 Sep** (what a walk-in gets now). **The money:** most of the collection lists at **S$105**, so from 1 September that is **S$84.00 online against S$94.50 at the booth**, a S$10.50 gap per box, or S$42 across four. The booth only becomes the better call in the **final week, 19–25 Sep**, after the online offer expires. **Two things are carved out of every discount, online and in-store:** the **S$228 Raffles Hotel Singapore Premium Baked Mooncake Box**, and **all limited-edition flavours**, this year the **S$107 Guojiao 1573 Baijiu Black Sesame Truffle Snow-Skin**. The rest of the 2026 line-up does take it: snow-skin truffles at S$105 (Matcha & Raspberry, Whisky & Lapsang Souchong, Yuzu & Osmanthus, Sakura & Raspberry, Pistachio & Apricot) and S$107 (Champagne); baked at S$105 (Mother-of-Pearl with Single Yolk and White Lotus Paste; Double Yolk with Macadamia Nuts and White Lotus Paste) and S$103 (Pine Nuts, Macadamia Nuts and White Lotus Paste); plus a S$8 Raffles Cooler Bag. Booth open **daily 10am–8pm, 3 Aug to 25 Sep 2026**: Mid-Autumn Festival is **Friday 25 September**. One more clock: if you earned the **S$20 voucher** by spending S$200+ in a single July transaction, it must be used on another **S$200+** order by **31 August**, one per order.

**Food Capital at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel is running its Seafood Mania buffet from 11 August to 4 October 2026, and the member benefit being written up as '30% off for MyMillennium members' is not what the hotel publishes.** Its own offer page lists **DINE FOUR, PAY TWO**, four adults dine, two adult buffets are charged, which is a straight **50% off**, better than the figure going around but far more conditional. Per the hotel's terms it is **Monday to Friday only** (no Saturday, no Sunday), **adult buffet only** so children pay their normal rate, **advance reservation required**, **capped at 10 persons per reservation**, void on **public holidays, their eves, observed in-lieu days and the eves of Lunar New Year, Christmas and New Year**, and **not stackable** with any other promotion or discount. **MyMillennium membership is free** for anyone 18 or over. **The money:** listed rates are lunch Mon–Sat **$72++** adult / $36++ child, dinner Sun–Thu **$106++** / $53++, dinner Fri–Sat **$116++** / $58++, all before the 10% service charge and 9% GST, multiply by 1.199 for **$86.33**, **$127.09** and **$139.08 nett**. Under Dine Four Pay Two that is roughly **$43.16 a head at weekday lunch**, **$63.55 at a Mon–Thu dinner** and **$69.54 on Friday**. **The night to pick is Friday.** On top of the buffet line a course is served to your table, and it changes: Sun–Thu it is one lobster per two adults plus a grilled surf and turf barbecue, while Fri–Sat it is any two of three per two adults, Western-style lobster, local-style crab, or a bowl of signature drunken prawns. A table of four therefore gets two lobsters Sun–Thu but **four seafood items on Friday**, and Friday is the only night where that richer service and the 50% member rate overlap, for about $6 a head more. Saturday has the same table service and **no member discount at all**. Dinner also adds freshly shucked oysters, snow crab legs and baby lobsters to the ice; hot dishes rotate through Singapore Chilli Crab, Black Pepper Slipper Lobster, Salted Egg Yolk Prawns, Lobster Thermidor and Seafood Paella. 392 Havelock Road, lunch Mon–Sat 12pm–2.30pm, dinner daily 6pm–10pm; reserve on +65 8168 1539 or dining.gcw@millenniumhotels.com.

**Singapore Oceanarium turned one on 24 July, and the anniversary offer on its own ticketing page is the cheapest way a local group of three gets in this year: SG Residents Exclusive: Buy 2 Get 1 FREE, 2 x Singapore Oceanarium One-Day Ticket plus 1 x Complimentary One-Day Ticket, listed from S$110.00.** Resorts World Sentosa publishes the one-day rates as **Adult (13–59) from S$55, Child (4–12) from S$43 and Senior (60+) from S$43**, so S$110 is exactly two adult tickets and the third adult walks in free: **three adults for S$110 instead of S$165, S$55 saved, 33% off, about S$36.67 a head, which is under the child rate.** It has been running quietly since **8 July** and closes **30 September 2026**, covering the whole September school holiday week. **Four catches, all straight from the official terms. (1) ALL ticket holders must be Singapore residents with an official Singapore photo ID, and ID is required at entry**, the free third ticket cannot go to a visiting friend or an overseas relative, and because ID is checked at the gate rather than at checkout, you find out late. **(2) Minimum 1 day advance booking is required**: there is no same-day walk-up at this price, so if you are already on the way to Sentosa you are booking for tomorrow. **(3) The promotion is valid for purchases made between 8 July and 30 September 2026 FOR VISITS WITHIN THE SAME PERIOD**: buying on 29 September does not buy you an October visit. **(4) Once confirmed the order is final:** non-transferable, non-refundable, not for sale or exchange, with no cancellations, date changes or modifications, and tickets are dated. Also: not valid during Exclusive Events, and timed-entry tickets are required during peak periods, so pick your slot when you book. The promotion page does not say whether the bundle can be built on child or senior rates, check the ticket-type selector before paying. Best play: three adults (or two adults and a teenager, who pays the adult rate from 13) on a September weekday, booked at least a day ahead. Singapore Oceanarium, 24 Sentosa Gateway; weekdays 10am–7pm, weekends and public holidays 9am–9pm.

**POPULAR is closing two of its biggest stores and both are on moving-out sales right now, on completely different clocks, and only one has published prices.** **VIVOCITY #B1-16/17** has been clearing since 31 July under an "Everything Must Go!" line: books, stationery, gifts, toys, while stocks last, and **SUNDAY 16 AUGUST IS ITS LAST DAY**, so this weekend is the entire remaining window. POPULAR publishes no percentage headline for VivoCity, so you are shopping whatever is left after two and a half weeks of clearance. **JURONG POINT #B1-41** is the one with the priced flyer: open since 1995, POPULAR's own artwork calls it **31 years** in the mall, and trading to **SATURDAY 13 SEPTEMBER**, with **UP TO 90% OFF selected items**, **15% OFF regular-priced items**, and a **$5 discount voucher at $60 nett spend for members or $70 for non-members** (one voucher and one photobooth credit per eligible receipt). **THE CATCH IS IN POPULAR'S OWN T&C:** the promotion is "not valid with any other discount (POPULAR Card/e-Card, vouchers and/or promotions)", and members already get **10% off storewide** as standard. So the 15% **replaces** your card, it does not stack: a non-member gains 15 percentage points, a member gains **five**. Gift vouchers won't layer on sale items either. **THE SECOND CATCH IS A CALENDAR INSIDE THE CALENDAR:** the flyer's two "Big Clearance" pairs are date-gated and both shut before the store does, **14–27 AUG** for the crochet flower light at **$7.90** (U.P. $15.90) and the **LARQ Bottle Swig Top 680ml at $29.90** (U.P. $89.90, with a $29 silicone boot), then **28 AUG – 6 SEP** for the RFID passport holder at $10–$12 (U.P. $16.90–$24.90) and the **Targus 13–14" Urban laptop sleeve at $15.90** (U.P. $39). Neither pair is on shelf in the final week, 7–13 Sep. **BEST LINES FOR MOST PEOPLE:** assessment books (selected titles) **up to 70% off** (U.P. $4.90–$43.45), English books up to 60% off, preschool/children's English up to 50% off, EPH assessment books 3-or-more 25% off, selected Chinese titles 2-or-more 30% off, **selected stationery 8 for $10**, thermal flasks/lunch bowls/bags/water bottles **3-or-more 70% off**, POP Urban 60% off, and three electronics: **TP-Link TC70 camera BUY 1 GET 1 FREE** (U.P. $38.90 each), **Sony WF-C510 earbuds $39** (U.P. $149) and the **Logitech Ergo Lift vertical mouse $49** (U.P. $119). Go early for the paper: every deep tier says **"selected titles"**, not the whole category, and those racks empty first in a West-side store in exam season. **NOT THE END OF POPULAR:** the chain told AsiaOne the closures are down to the malls' retail plans, with no further closures planned, and a **new store opens at Hougang Mall on 4 September**, 26 stores in total, nine days before Jurong Point shuts. There is also a **Time Capsule** in store at Jurong Point: write a memory on a letter, roll it, drop it in, and ten entrants get a **$50 POPULAR gift voucher**.

**Haidilao Singapore has reopened its Student Set at S$29.90**, live **from 13 August 2026** at **ten outlets**, on nothing more than a **valid Student ID** presented at the table, **no app, no membership, no promo code** anywhere on the poster. **THE TIME WINDOWS ARE THE WHOLE DEAL, and they are narrower than the headline reads: Mon–Fri BEFORE 5PM, and Sun–Thu AFTER 10PM.** Lay that across a week and three gaps fall out: **Friday nights are out** (Friday only qualifies before 5pm), **Sunday works only as a 10pm supper**, and **SATURDAY APPEARS IN NEITHER WINDOW**, making it the single day of the week this cannot be used at all. That is the trap, because Saturday is exactly when most students would try. The flip side is that both windows are Haidilao's quiet shifts: a **4pm weekday seating** is the easy version, and **after 10pm** is when you will actually get a table at 313 @ Somerset or Bugis+ without queueing. **THE TEN OUTLETS:** 313 @ Somerset, IMM, Plaza Singapura, The Seletar Mall, Sun Plaza, Century Square, Wisma Atria, Bugis+, Jurong Point and Northpoint City, **every other Haidilao is out**, so check before you travel. **THE PRICE FOOTNOTE:** the artwork prints **'S$29.90'** with no plus signs, but Haidilao's own caption and every deal listing carry it as **S$29.90++**, with 10% service and 9% GST that is **about $35.85 nett a head**, the difference between a $60 and a $72 bill for two, so ask at the table. **WHAT'S IN IT IS NOT PUBLISHED:** the poster says only **'set items may vary by outlet'**. Haidilao's own March student set at IMM was built as **2 of 6 soup bases (quarter pot), 4 of 14 classic dishes, 1 meat + 1 staple + 1 snack and 2 HECHÁ milk teas**: indicative only, not confirmed for this run. **NO END DATE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED**; the previous student runs carried published dates (16 Mar–31 May at IMM, an extended Jurong Point run), so treat it as a **semester-length** promo and go early.

Mandai put this on its own promotions page and said nothing else about it. **Owa Bistro**, the new bistro at the **Singapore Zoo Entrance**, is running **1-for-1 draft beers by Brewerkz**, **Monday to Friday, 5:00pm–8:00pm**, from **7 August to 30 September 2026**, alongside what Mandai calls hearty bites and desserts. **The detail almost everyone misses: you do not need an attraction ticket.** Owa Bistro sits inside **Mandai Wildlife EAST**, which Mandai's own FAQ lists as one of **three free-to-visit spaces** at the reserve (with Mandai Wildlife WEST and the 3.3km Mandai Boardwalk), the zone runs **7:00am–10:30pm daily**, three and a half hours past the promo's cut-off. **The catches are real though:** it is **weekdays only** (a Saturday drive is wasted), the window **shuts at 8pm**, and **Mandai publishes neither the draft price nor which Brewerkz taps qualify**, ask at the counter before the first round. Do not plan on stacking the Mastercard 10% dining discount either: Mandai's terms exclude F&B tenants at Mandai Wildlife EAST and WEST. **Same free zone, also live:** Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine (#01-06, Dining Alley) gives **August-birthday members 20% off dine-in** plus a free Lee Jun Le calligraphy bag, **3–31 Aug** (no August birthday? top up S$500+ in membership credits for the bag); and at Mandai Wildlife WEST (#02-01), **A&W gives Friends of Mandai members a free Root Beer with any combo**, daily 9am–8pm, one per card per day. The other Mandai 1-for-1: avian cocktails at Crimson with Mastercard, till 31 Aug, **does** need a ticket, because Crimson is inside Bird Paradise.

The Spider-Man run ended on 12 Aug and **Chiikawa** took the Happy Meal straight over. McDonald's Singapore is running an **eight-toy Chiikawa collection** from **today, 13 August, to 10 September**, and every character is dressed for a real McDonald's job. **The schedule is the whole story**: new toys land **every Thursday from 11am**, two designs at a time, and **each pair only runs during its own week**: **Wk 1 (13–19 Aug)** Chiikawa as **McDonald's Manager** + Furuhonya as **Crew**; **Wk 2 (20–26 Aug)** Kurimanju as **McCafé Barista** + Hachiware on **McDelivery**; **Wk 3 (27 Aug – 2 Sep)** Rakko on **McDelivery** + Momonga as a **Guest Experience Leader**; **Wk 4 (3–10 Sep)** Usagi as **Crew** + Shisa as **Manager**. So the Thursdays to diarise are **13, 20 and 27 Aug, then 3 Sep**. **The catches** are the ordinary Happy Meal ones, and they bite harder on a licensed drop: it is **one toy per Happy Meal** (Happy Meals from about **S$5.95**, and McDonald's own disclaimer says prices vary across restaurants), the toy is **not sold separately**, it is **while stocks last with quantities limited**, and **availability differs restaurant to restaurant**: McDonald's tells you outright to ask the restaurant which toy or book is currently available. The line that catches people at the counter is printed on the artwork itself: **display toys are not for sale**. Toys are **non-exchangeable**, and McDonald's **reserves the right to replace toys and change dates without prior notice**, with **no catch-up wave announced**, a missed Thursday is a missed character. **The fallback:** you can take a **Happy Meal Readers** book instead of the toy, currently the 6th Little People, Big Dreams 'I Can Dream Big' series, including a mystery 'I Can' title, which is what is left when the week's design has cleared at your outlet. **Go on the Thursday**, not the weekend: 11am is the only point stock is guaranteed deep, and the two **McDelivery** figures (Hachiware, Rakko) plus the opening **Chiikawa Manager** are the designs collectors will chase first.

The cheapest National Day plate this month is in a food court. **Kopitiam's 'Feast & Celebrate'** runs **1 Aug – 13 Sep 2026** and stacks four things. **(1) $6.10 National Day Foodie Deals**: curated local favourites and signature dishes at a flat **$6.10** at **selected stalls** across **29** Kopitiam, Bagus by Kopitiam, Kopitiam Corner and Kopitiam Food Hall outlets. **This half ends 31 AUG**, two weeks before the campaign does, and it is stall-by-stall, not outlet-wide: look for the campaign signage at the stall front. Outlets span every region: **North**, Bagus @ Admiralty Place, Canberra Plaza, Causeway Point, Northpoint City; Kopitiam @ AMK Hub, Northpoint City, Sembawang MRT; Kopitiam Corner @ Vistapoint; Kopitiam Food Hall @ Sembawang Shopping Centre. **Central/South**: Kopitiam @ Marina Bay Financial Centre, Tiong Bahru Plaza; Kopitiam Food Hall @ Plaza Singapura, VivoCity. **East**: Bagus @ Northshore Plaza II, Paya Lebar Square, Pasir Ris Mall; Kopitiam @ Compass One, Hougang One, Paya Lebar Quarter, Tampines Mall; Kopitiam Food Hall @ Parkway Parade. **West**: Kopitiam Food Hall @ Hillion Mall, Jurong Point, JEM; Bagus @ Jurong Point; Kopitiam @ FairPrice Hub, West Mall; Kopitiam Corner @ Yew Tee Square, 475 Choa Chu Kang. **(2) The weekend claw machine**: **Fri–Sun, 12pm–8pm**, limited-edition **Lau Pa Sat x Hawker Wars food plushies**: **$10 nett = 1 grab, $18 nett = 2**. It roves one mall per weekend: **14–16 Aug Parkway Parade**, 21–23 Aug Plaza Singapura, 28–30 Aug West Mall, 4–6 Sep Bagus @ Northpoint, and a double finale 11–13 Sep at VivoCity AND Pasir Ris Mall. **(3) The keycap keychain**: **$12 nett** redeems one build-it-yourself mechanical keycap clicker keychain: **14–16 Aug Bagus @ Causeway Point**, 21–23 Aug Tampines Mall, 28–30 Aug Compass One. **(4) Free**, the **'Kopitiam Feast' mini game** in the FairPrice Group app pays out Kopitiam eVouchers on daily high scores, till 31 Aug. **THE FINE PRINT:** spend tiers are based on your **final NETT payment** and pool a **maximum of 2 combined same-day receipts** from that outlet; a **registered FairPrice Group app account** is required to play the game and use the eVouchers; plushie designs are **allocated at random**; every physical reward is **strictly while stocks last**, and each mall gets **one weekend only**, so a Sunday-evening arrival is the thinnest odds. One route is already dead: the **Coca-Cola x Kopitiam** bricks still run the **8-stamp blind box** (1 stamp per 320ml Coke Original Taste or Zero Sugar), but the **$38.80 24-can carton shortcut to the complete 3-box set is marked FULLY REDEEMED** on Kopitiam's own page.

KFC Singapore has stopped giving merch away with meals and started selling it: the 'KFC Swags' collection went live on its own store, merch.kfc.com.sg, on 1 August 2026. FIVE PIECES, no meal purchase and no spend threshold: KFC UTILITY PHONE LANYARD $14.90 (adjustable, KFC red, utility detailing); KFC BUCKET BAG $15.90 (a compact crossbody in the bucket's signature red-and-white stripes, Colonel Sanders on the front and the slogan on the strap, the cheapest piece with the loudest branding); KFC DRUMSTICK PLUSHIE $23.90 (an oversized plush cushion printed like a Hot & Crispy drumstick, with 'It's Finger Lickin' Good' down the bone); KFC ORIGINAL RED TUMBLER $38.90 (reusable, signature red, the only piece you'll use daily); and the KFC FINGER LICKIN' GOOD JACKET $65.90, a lightweight cream jacket and the only sized item, in S/M and L/XL. All five come to $159.50. THE CATCH, and there are three. One: the Drumstick Plushie, the piece the collection is built around, is already marked SOLD OUT on the store as of 2 August, one day after launch, with no restock announced; the other four are still listed in stock. Two: delivery is domestic standard only, charged at checkout on top of the item price, with KFC shipping in 3-4 working days and delivery taking 3-5, so a $14.90 lanyard is not a $14.90 order, and it pays to consolidate. Three: there are NO exchanges. KFC's own FAQ says all returns are refunded and a different size means a new order, change-of-mind returns must be requested within 7 days of delivery (unused, original packaging, tags and seals intact; clothing may be opened to try on) and you cover the return postage, which matters most on the jacket, the only sized piece. Deal sites also report the collection being sold in person at KFC Kallang, but KFC's store pages mention no in-store stock or pickup, so call ahead rather than making a special trip. The same store also carries the KFC x Amos Ananda pickleball capsule (Paddle Set $39.90, Shirt $34.90, Tee $23.90, Headband $9.90, Socks $6.90), a $19.90 Mantou Crossbody Bag and a $32.90 International Fried Chicken Day oversized tee, not part of SWAGS, but they ship in the same order. No end date has been published, so treat it as while stocks last.

Mister Donut has reunited with MILO for its National Day drop, and the campaign page went live on misterdonut.com.sg this morning under the name 'Nation's First Love (Made with MILO®)'. Two donuts, both $3.20 a piece, both built on a chocolate malt cream made with MILO. PON DE ROYALE is the chain's signature Pon De Ring, the chewy, mochi-textured ring of joined dough balls: filled with the malt cream and crowned with crispy kunafa flakes, the fine shredded pastry behind the viral chocolate bars, then finished with a chocolate malt glaze. It's the textural one: chewy, creamy and crunchy in a single bite. CREAM TREASURE BOMB is a soft round donut piped full of the same rich malt cream with crunchy MILO Nuggets buried at the centre as the 'treasure', under the same glaze: richer, more cream-forward. The poster's line is 'Nation's First Love, NOW CRUNCHIER', and the crunch is the difference from the earlier MILO tie-up. TWO THINGS THE BRAND'S OWN ARTWORK SPELLS OUT: an ADDITIONAL $0.50 PER PIECE applies when either donut goes into a Bundle Deal box (so budget $3.70 each inside a mixed box, not $3.20), and they are made in LIMITED QUANTITIES DAILY, while stocks last, so late-evening visits are a gamble and mornings are the safe run. Available at Mister Donut outlets islandwide including 313@somerset, VivoCity, Junction 8, Jurong Point, Northpoint City, Parkway Parade, Tampines 1, Thomson Plaza, Waterway Point, Velocity@Novena Square, Anchorvale Village and the Takashimaya Food Hall; check the locator before a special trip. Runs 1 August – 13 September 2026, six weeks, so no need to panic-buy on day one. If you're only trying one, the Pon De Royale is the more distinctive of the pair.

Sheng Siong has published its full 中元普度大拜拜 catalogue, running 24 July to 10 September 2026, and 10 September is the last day of this year's lunar seventh month (13 Aug – 10 Sep, with 中元节 on Thu 27 Aug). What makes it worth a read is that it actually prints prices instead of 'ask in store'. Eight value hampers sit on a clean ladder: 大顺 $13.80, 大运 $19.80, 大吉 $26.80, 大利 $29.80, 大旺 $33.80, 大福 $39.80, 大喜 $49.80 and 大发 $59.80, each 10–15 pantry staples (jasmine rice, sugar, fine salt, cooking oil, canned mushrooms, canned mackerel, coffee-o, oats, rice vermicelli, biscuits, peanuts, chips) packed in a reusable carrier, a cooler or multi-purpose bag at the entry tiers, and at $49.80/$59.80 the catalogue's two big carriers, a 4-wheel TSA-lock luggage case and a foldable 4-wheel trolley, which the same catalogue sells alone at $39.90 and $29.90. That is the value test: at the top tiers you are mostly buying the carrier and the groceries ride along for roughly $20–$30. Prayer supplies come in two ranges, four itemised 拜7月套装 at $98, $198, $298 and $398 (each a printed 26–30 line bundle of 皇庄, 白古衣, 经衣, 大往生钱, hell notes, 大金银砖, incense, candles, dragon flags, red paper and matches, differing in quantity per line, not in kind) and nine 中元节拜拜金纸配套: 3088 $3.80, 2088 $6.80, 1288 $10.80, 3388 $13.80, 2288 $18.80, 1188 $28.80, 5588 $42.80, 9988 $65.80 and 8888 $118. Offerings: roast chicken 1.5–2kg $21.90 each, roast duck and braised duck 2.2–2.4kg $28.20 each, roast pork and char siew $28.80/kg, a 4–5kg golden piglet $228, big golden pigs and the 三牲/五牲 sets on enquiry (五牲 A and B at selected branches only). Huat kueh runs $1.30 (220g) to $68 (5.5kg), plus a 4.2kg 宝发盆 at $78. Bulk buyers pick a free gift by band: $500 Guinness 6-pack or a 10kg bag of jasmine rice, $1,000 Carlsberg 12-pack or a PowerPac stand fan, $2,000 Chivas Regal 12YO or a Morries BBQ/steamboat set, $3,000 Martell V.S.O.P or a K-Grill 11L air fryer, and a single package order of $500+ gets free delivery to one mainland address on 3 working days' notice. Two catches: all roast items need at least 5 days' advance order (huat kueh 800g and up, 3 days), so for the 27 Aug peak order roasts by around 22 Aug; and none of these packages or special-priced items stack with Sheng Siong's standing 4% discounts, Tue/Wed senior citizen, Thu CHAS Blue, Fri CHAS Orange, or with online-shopping specials. Enquiries: festive.sales@shengsiong.com.sg, 6895 1888 / 6895 1500: details

luckin coffee Singapore's National Day tie-up with MILO is live from 27 July 2026: the Tiramisu Latte made with MILO (espresso and cocoa layered with whipped cheese foam, sea salt and Parmesan, finished with MILO, Nutri-Grade C, 4% sugar) and the Cocoa-Malt Frappe made with MILO (blended iced, MILO-dusted, Nutri-Grade C, 8% sugar). The deal attached to them is the Extra Shiok Set: 2 selected drinks plus an exclusive Mini Backpack Pouch Phone Lanyard for $15.90, ordered in the luckin coffee app, while stocks last, with the campaign's 'Shiok Together' packaging. Two caveats straight from Luckin's own artwork: availability may vary by store, and no a la carte price has been published for either drink, nor an end date for the campaign. Separately, Singapore deal listings have the app running a 1-for-1 on selected coffee categories (Fruity Americanos, Americanos, Barista Coffees, Luckin Black Cups, Signature Lattes) from 25–31 July 2026, the MILO drinks are NOT included and the quoted terms say it doesn't stack.

A rare grocery discount with no code, no coupon and no app: Cold Storage is taking S$7 off a minimum S$80 spend every weekend, Saturdays and Sundays, from 25 July to 18 October 2026, when you pay with a DBS Visa Debit Card or a POSB Everyday Card. The discount is applied at the till; there is nothing to clip or redeem. That is 13 weekends in all, including the SG61 National Day long weekend of 8–9 August. At the $80 mark the $7 works out to 8.75% off. Two things decide whether it's useful to you: it runs at only 10 participating Cold Storage and CS Fresh stores, Bugis Junction, i12 Katong, Novena Square, One Holland Village, Paragon, Raffles City, Suntec City, Takashimaya, Tanglin Mall and United Square, all central-belt rather than heartland, and Cold Storage states that limited redemptions are available, so a busy store can run through its allocation. The $80 minimum is per single transaction (no splitting bills), and the offer names those two cards specifically, not DBS/POSB credit cards generally. Aim for a basket just over $80: the discount is a flat $7 however much more you spend.

The blind-box craze reaches the tissue aisle, and this one is genuinely worth planning a restock around: spend at least S$25 on any Kleenex products in a SINGLE receipt between 20 Jul and 15 Sep 2026 and you get a FREE 'Everyday Softies' Plushie Keychain Blind Box, valued at S$18. There are four designs modelled on Kleenex's own products, a tissue box, a tissue roll, a soft pouch and a cheeky brown character: sealed and issued at random, so you cannot pick, and duplicates are possible if you redeem more than once. Redeem with your original receipt at the Customer Service Counter or Cashier Counter of selected FairPrice, Cold Storage/Market Place, Giant, Sheng Siong and Prime Supermarket outlets, during opening hours: note 'selected', because not every branch of each chain is in. Bonus: at selected FairPrice stores, the same $25 spend also gets a free pack of Kleenex Skin Care 2in1 Tissue Cloth 50s, subject to availability. Tissues, kitchen towels and wet wipes all count towards the $25, so a normal household restock clears it. While stocks last: collectible giveaways clear the busy malls long before the end date, so go early if the plushies are the point.

Breakfast, but make it collectible: KFC Singapore is giving away a FREE Milo Dabao Plush Eco Bag with any Breakfast Platter Buddy Meal, 22 Jul–8 Sep 2026, while stocks last. The plushie is shaped like a classic 'dabao' Milo takeaway cup: brown body, green Milo logo patch, smiley face, tiny arms and legs and the signature red carry-strings, and it doubles as a mini reusable eco bag, so it is a keepsake and a bag in one. To claim it, buy any Breakfast Platter Buddy Meal (waffles + butter, crispy fried chicken, scrambled eggs, hash browns and a breakfast wrap; listed around S$15.50, price may vary by outlet) during KFC breakfast hours. The catch: dine-in & takeaway during breakfast service only, order before 11am, at participating KFC breakfast outlets islandwide, one plush per qualifying meal, and once a store runs out it will not be restocked, so popular outlets can finish early. KFC Singapore is MUIS halal-certified. Full details →
