Kopitiam is running a run of $5 Friday flash deals across its halal food halls — Bagus by Kopitiam and its sister Cantine courts — with a different northern mall in the spotlight each Friday from 17 July to 7 August 2026. Each week, five featured dishes from the food hall's stalls go for just $5 each, claimed as vouchers on the FairPrice Group app with a limited number of redemptions per week, while stocks last. The line-up rotates: 17 Jul was Bagus @ Northpoint City and 24 Jul was Cantine Corner @ Admiralty Place — but there are still two Fridays to catch, 31 July at Bagus @ Causeway Point and the finale on 7 August at Cantine @ Canberra Plaza. Bagus is billed as Kopitiam's first fully-halal 'elevated' food hall, so it's an easy, wallet-friendly halal lunch or dinner if you're up north. Grab the voucher in the app before you queue — redemptions are capped each week.

Electronics on the cheap this week: BEST Denki is running a Warehouse Stock Clearance Sale at the Leong Huat Building — up to 90% off TVs, laptops, smartphones, tablets, home appliances, audio and IT accessories — for five days only, 22–26 July 2026, 11am–8pm daily. It's held off-mall at 6 Harper Road, #02-08 (Singapore 369674), and it's the deep-discount kind of clearance: display sets, overstock and last-season models rather than a normal storewide promo. Reported doorbusters have included a Philips 43" FHD TV at $188, IT accessories from $2, and premium TVs like a Sony 65" BRAVIA marked down to the $2,899 range — but many are in limited quantities, with selected models capped at one set per customer and fresh one-day offers rolled out through the run. Nothing is restocked once it's gone, so the early birds get the doorbusters. Here's what to know before you go.

The blind-box craze has reached the tissue aisle: Kleenex Singapore has launched 'Everyday Softies', a set of four collectible plushie keychains shaped like its own products — a tissue box, a tissue roll, a soft little pouch and a cheeky brown one — and it is giving them away FREE. Spend at least S$25 on any Kleenex products in a single receipt between 20 July and 15 September 2026 and you can claim one Plushie Keychain Blind Box, valued at S$18, at the customer service or cashier counter. It is a genuine blind box: there are four designs, they are issued at random, you cannot pick, and duplicates are possible if you redeem more than once. Redemption is at selected FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Siong and Prime Supermarket outlets only — and at selected FairPrice stores you also get a free pack of Kleenex Skin Care 2in1 Tissue Cloth 50s on top. Stocks are limited and the campaign can end early, so if the plushies are the point, go sooner rather than later.

Breakfast just got a collectible: KFC Singapore is giving away a FREE Milo Dabao Plush Eco Bag with every Breakfast Platter Buddy Meal, from 22 July to 8 September 2026 while stocks last. The plushie is shaped like a classic 'dabao' (takeaway) Milo cup — brown body, the green Milo logo patch, a little smiley face, tiny arms and legs and the signature red carry-strings — and it doubles as a mini reusable eco bag, so it's a keepsake and a bag in one. To claim it you buy any Breakfast Platter Buddy Meal (the sharing set with waffles and butter, crispy fried chicken, fluffy scrambled eggs, golden hash browns and a loaded breakfast wrap; listed around S$15.50, price may vary by outlet) during KFC breakfast hours. The catch: it's for dine-in and takeaway during breakfast service only — you must order before 11am — at participating KFC breakfast outlets islandwide, one plush per qualifying meal while stocks last, and once the plushies run out at a store they're gone. KFC Singapore is MUIS halal-certified. Here's the deal, the fine print and how to grab one before they sell out.

New bubble tea stop in Tampines: itea (Taste of Tropical Asia) has opened an outlet inside Giant Tampines and is running a grand-opening Buy-2-Get-1-FREE on all drinks for one week only, 22–28 July 2026. Buy any three drinks and the cheapest is free — itea's own opening poster states 'free drink applies to the lowest priced item' — so a round of three lands at roughly a third off, with featured pours like the Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea, Peach Green Tea White Pearl and Coco Shiok with Chestnut Popping Pearl. Running alongside it is a $1 Jumbo Cone deal — New Zealand milk soft-serve in a crispy waffle cone, on a Buy-1-Free-1 basis, valid during the opening week only. It's at Giant Tampines, 21 Tampines North Drive 2, Level 3 Stall No. 5 (S528765) — the itea kiosk inside the hypermarket, a handy grab after a grocery run. T&Cs apply and it's while the opening week lasts, so it's an early-week grab: the drinks offer and the cone deal both end on Tuesday 28 July.

The old World Trade Centre is done. HarbourFront Centre will cease operations on 27 July 2026 — the date is confirmed on the mall's own website notice — after which the 1 Maritime Square site makes way for a 33-storey office-and-retail redevelopment with an elevated park, due in the first half of 2031. That leaves less than a week of trading, and the stores that are staying open to the end have marked everything down. Moley Apparels — the label's very first shop, open at HarbourFront since 2011 — is doing 30% off storewide plus buy-2-get-1-free, with tees at $15, till 26 July. Vivian & Sean (travel gear, bags, footwear) has up to 70% off with school bags from $15, till 26 July. Vacanza is clearing all accessories at 4 for $10 till 26 July. Refash is selling pre-loved pieces at $6 an item with buy-3-get-1-free till 27 July, and Design & Comfort is running buy-1-get-1-free on all regular-priced bags and shoes (higher-priced item charged) with no firm end date beyond the mall's last day. The Cocoa Trees has clearance tags as low as 2 for $9, while stocks last. Don Don Donki's own closing sale already finished on 19 July. Mall hours are 10am–10pm daily until the shutters come down — go early, because stock is not being replenished.

Domino's Pizza Singapore has flipped on its MEGA WEEK campaign, running 20–27 July 2026: one Regular pizza from $4.99, with Domino's own poster stating the price is available in all flavours (upgrade surcharges apply if you change the flavour tier, the crust or the toppings). The catch is printed right on the artwork in a red badge — PICKUP ONLY, and you must enter coupon code 785735 at checkout. There is no delivery version of this price and no dine-in version; you order in the Domino's app or on dominos.com.sg, choose Pickup, pick your store, then drive or walk over to collect. Domino's Hot Deals page also lists a second MEGA WEEK line, 1 Large Pizza from $9.99, in the same section. For scale: Domino's everyday '50% Off 1 Regular Pizza' deal starts at $12.95, so $4.99 is well under half of even the chain's own standing half-price rate. Six days left including today, ending Monday 27 July.

Asia's first Minecraft Experience is running at Mandai Wildlife Reserve until 13 September 2026 — a 55-minute, walk-through quest through real-life Overworld biomes at Green Canvas, 80 Mandai Lake Road. Weekday tickets start at $46 for adults and $40 for children, rising to $51 and $44 on weekends, public holidays and school holidays. The value move is the bundle: pair it with Singapore Zoo, Night Safari or the new Exploria and Mandai lists savings of up to 27% off the Exploria bundle, with WildPass members getting a further 5% off admission tickets. Entry is by timed 15-minute slot, all ages are welcome, under-12s must be with an adult, and children aged 0-2 go free. With the September school holidays and the long National Day weekend still ahead, this one has real runway — but weekend slots are the first to go.

Your old Marina Bay fireworks spot won't work this year. NDP 2026 returns to the National Stadium in Kallang for the first time in a decade — with the Marina Bay Floating Platform closed for the NS Square rebuild — so the fireworks now launch over the Kallang Basin, not Marina Bay. That completely changes where you should stand. We rounded up the best FREE, no-ticket viewing spots ringing the basin — from the front-row Stadium Riverside Walk to the wide-open Tanjong Rhu Promenade and quieter Kallang Riverside Park — with the nearest MRT, the crowd level and the smart move (catch a Preview night, not just National Day). Fireworks run from about 7.30pm with the finale around 8.10-8.30pm on each show night: the two Previews (Sat 25 Jul & Sat 1 Aug) and the parade itself (Sun 9 Aug).

Buffets are where 1-for-1 saves you the most — split the second cover and a $60++ spread can drop to $30++ a head. We rounded up 7 currently-live 1-for-1 (and effectively-half-price) buffet deals in Singapore for July 2026, each verified against the venue's own channels or the card issuer: Café Mosaic at Carlton Hotel does a 1-for-1 Hong Kong Kitchen lunch buffet at about $31++/pax (four banks) daily; TungLok Seafood runs a Citi 1-for-1 deluxe à la carte seafood buffet (U.P. $59.80++, so ~$30++ each); Crossroads at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza is DBS 1-for-1 weekday lunch ($70++ → ~$35++); Permata's SG61 1-for-1 halal buffet at Gedung Kuning works out to roughly $22–$27 a head; Seasonal Tastes at The Westin is a Citi 1-for-1 semi-buffet dinner ($98++ → ~$49++); Carnivore Brazilian Churrascaria is a DBS/POSB 1-for-1 all-you-can-eat meat buffet (~$44.50++); and Hari's at Holiday Inn Orchard runs a 1-for-1 Straits Indulgence high-tea buffet (~$39++/pax). Below: the effective price, which card you need, the hours and the fine print for each.

Fine dining at nearly half price: modern-Chinese restaurant QĪN, on Level 4 of The Clan Hotel in the CBD, is running a Citi Cardmember exclusive — a 1-for-1 eight-course dinner set, each with a glass of prosecco, at a usual price of $150++ per person. Redeem it as an eVoucher through the Citi Mobile App (My Vouchers → Discover New Vouchers), on a first-come-first-served basis while vouchers last, till 31 July 2026. Two diners share the eight-course menu of QĪN signatures — think Hokkaido snow pork belly 'har cheong', Shanghainese hairy crab roe 'dou hua' and Zuwaigani snow crab claw 'lao mian' — so the pair effectively pays for one. Citi cardholders also get $6 off every $60 spent (capped at $60) here till 30 December 2026. Here's exactly how the deal works, the fine print, and how to claim it.

The 2026 World Cup Final is set: Argentina vs Spain, Monday 20 July, 3.00am Singapore time — and you don't have to pay a cent to watch it. The Final is live FREE on Mediacorp Channel 5 and mewatch, and there are free public screenings at 56 PA community clubs islandwide (walk-in, no reservation — only Ayer Rajah CC needs registration), 5 ActiveSG sport centres running all-night sport carnivals from 12am with complimentary refreshments, The Kallang's screening at Kallang Wave Mall with carnival activities from midnight, Our Tampines Hub across four venues, One Punggol's open-air Celebration Square (hawker centre in the same building), Northshore Plaza and 888 Plaza's mall watch parties, and all 7 SAFRA clubhouses. The catch: it's 3am on a Monday — the MRT isn't running at kick-off and there are no Sunday-night night buses, so plan your ride there, catch the first train home around 5.45am, and maybe apply for that Monday-morning leave now. Here's the full venue-by-venue guide.

Singapore turns 61 on Sunday 9 August 2026, and because National Day lands on a Sunday, Monday 10 August is a public holiday in lieu — a proper three-day long weekend to actually go out and do something. We rounded up the 7 best attraction and theme-park deals in Singapore for 2026, each checked against the venue's own site, with a focus on the Singapore-resident (local) prices that quietly save you a lot: Universal Studios Singapore (One-Day tickets from $76, plus Minionland and the Universal Season Pass); the brand-new Singapore Oceanarium at RWS (three times bigger than the old S.E.A. Aquarium, admission from $43, kids under 4 free); Mandai's Bird Paradise (resident $39 adult / $27 child, free WildPass discounts) and its newest park Rainforest Wild Asia (resident $50 / $35 with Adventure+ activities); Gardens by the Bay (Flower Dome from $12 for residents, free Supertree Grove); the Singapore Flyer (from $40, PAssion Card up to 15% off); and Wild Wild Wet, Singapore's largest waterpark (Day Pass from about $26). Below: the real resident prices, what each is best for, and how to plan the long weekend without overpaying at the gate.

Late-night chicken cravings just got cheaper: Popeyes Singapore is running a 'Midnight Crunch' 1-for-1 on its 2pc Love That Chicken Meal — $9.90 for two meals (U.P. $19.80), so you're paying about $4.95 a head for 4pc of chicken, two regular sides and two regular drinks. It's a weekday-midnight special, on for five nights only from 13 to 17 July 2026 (Mon–Fri), and only during the supper window of 10pm to 2am. Just flash the deal at the counter to redeem — no app, voucher or code needed. It runs at 13 outlets islandwide (Kinex, East Village, ESR BizPark, Jurong Point, The Rail Mall, West Coast Plaza, Crown Centre, Pan Pacific Orchard, Woodlands MRT, Northpoint City, Heartland Mall Kovan, The Seletar Mall and AMK Hub), for dine-in and takeaway only, excluding Changi Airport T1. You don't get to choose your chicken parts, it can't be stacked with other promos, and it's while stocks last — so with only three nights left as of 15 Jul, go early in the window.

Doughnut season is here. Dunkin' is giving a free half-dozen when you buy a tumbler from 22–31 July (its $20.40 Dozen Box ran 15–21 July), Krispy Kreme has a standing student deal of two Original Glazed for $3.90 every Monday and Tuesday afternoon, and Mister Donut's Pon de Lion Donut is still on the menu at $2.60. Krispy Kreme's 89th-birthday Buy 6 Get 3 Free was a one-day event on 17 July and has ended. We rounded up the best donut chains and deals in Singapore for July 2026 — from American classics and Japanese mochi-textured Pon de Ring, to Indonesian J.CO, Greek loukoumades at Lukumades, and MUIS halal-certified sourdough bomboloni from viral home-grown Sourbombe. Here's every current promo, each brand's signature bite, price and where to find them.

One of Singapore's best-known Chinese seafood names is doing a proper 1-for-1: at TungLok Seafood inside Park Regis by Prince Singapore (23 Merchant Road, near Clarke Quay), the Deluxe à la carte seafood buffet — usual price $59.80++ per adult — is buy-1-get-1-free for July, so two diners split it for the price of one, roughly $30++ a head before the 10% service charge and 9% GST. Unlike a self-serve steam-tray line, it's an order-to-your-table à la carte buffet: everything's cooked fresh as you tick it off the menu. The Deluxe tier piles on the good stuff — deep-fried salt-and-pepper oysters, braised whole abalone with mushrooms and seasonal vegetables — on top of Japanese sashimi and sushi, Chinese à la carte dishes, rice and noodles, and desserts, with as many rounds as you can finish. The catch: it's a Citi Cardmember eVoucher, claimed on the Citi Mobile App on a first-come-first-served basis, valid 1–31 July 2026 while stocks last. Here's the full menu tier, the fine print, and how to claim it.

Chilli crab, cheaper than you'll ever see it at JUMBO: the original East Coast Seafood Centre flagship is running a $39 Mud Crab farewell special — an average-500g mud crab, cooked in your choice of 5 signature styles (including the Award-Winning Chilli), for a flat $39 before service charge and GST (so roughly $47 on the final bill). It's a 'Thank You For The 39 Years Of Trust' send-off as the East Coast flagship — where JUMBO started in 1987 — prepares to close on 30 September 2026, when its lease ends under NParks' East Coast Park rejuvenation. Confirmed on JUMBO Seafood's own promotions page and official '$39 Mud Crab' campaign poster: valid at the JUMBO Seafood East Coast Seafood Centre outlet only, daily, till 31 July 2026, while stocks last, dine-in only, and not stackable with other discounts, promotions or vouchers. No app or voucher is needed for this one — just order the mud crab at East Coast. The 5 styles: Award-Winning Chilli, Signature Black Pepper, Golden Salted Egg, Steamed with Chinese Wine & Egg White, and Kum Hiong stir-fry.

Afternoon tea in Singapore doesn't have to mean $80 a head. We rounded up the 8 best high-tea deals live right now (July 2026), from Concorde Hotel's flat $16++ set and Mercure Bugis' true 1-for-1 Royale Afternoon Tea (just $25++/pax with almost any bank card), to Holiday Inn Orchard's daily 1-for-1 Straits Indulgence spread, voco Orchard's Saturday local high-tea semi-buffet, and W Sentosa Cove's Matcha Moments set at up to 50% off. Each pick comes with the real price after the deal, the exact days and times, and precisely how to unlock it (which card, membership or code) — plus one gloriously over-the-top Mao Shan Wang durian afternoon tea for the durian season die-hards.

Halloween Horror Nights is back at Universal Studios Singapore for its 14th run — HHN14 — from 25 September to 1 November 2026 across 18 select nights (7.30pm–12.30am). Resorts World Sentosa has confirmed four all-new haunted houses (Karang Guni: The Cursed Collection, Singapore's Most Haunted: On Air, Made in Hell: XinLing Robotics and Chatterbox Charlie's Vaudeville Horrors), two scare zones (The RAVEyard and Necropolis: The Serpent's Crossroads), plus roving scares and the signature Scaremony opening show. The headline for deal-hunters: Super Early Bird admission from $58 (non-peak) / $68 (peak) in limited quantities — but only until 22 July 2026, after which prices step up toward the ~$78 standard gate. Tickets are sold via the RWS website and Klook; a normal daytime USS ticket does NOT include HHN. Below: the full 2026 lineup and every ticket tier (Frights-for-Two bundle, Frequent Fear Pass, HHN Express / Express PLUS, RIP Tour) with what's confirmed vs still to be announced.

Curry Times has brought back its much-requested Hainanese Curry Chicken Rice — and it comes with a free drink. From 2 to 31 July 2026, $9.90++ gets you a loaded plate: crispy chicken cutlet, braised chicken wing, Hainanese chap chye, a braised soy-sauce egg and fragrant rice, all under the brand's signature curry gravy — plus a complimentary Iced Lemon Tea with Grass Jelly thrown in. It's a proper one-plate meal at hawker-adjacent pricing, verified on Curry Times' own campaign poster (©2026 Curry Times). Available at four outlets — Novena Square (Velocity), Westgate, Changi Airport Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 — while stocks last. The catch: it's $9.90++ so GST and service charge are on top (roughly $11.65 nett), it runs only through 31 July, and the free drink is the fixed Iced Lemon Tea with Grass Jelly (not any-drink of your choice).

KFC Singapore has dropped its most local burger yet for National Day: the Curry x Sambal Zinger swaps the usual bun for crispy roti prata, stacks in a Zinger fillet, lettuce and sambal, and serves it with a tub of Chinese-style curry (with potato chunks) on the side to dip, dunk or pour. It's a proper multicultural mashup — Malay sambal, Indian prata, Chinese curry and the Western Zinger in one — priced at $8.10 à la carte or $9.90 as a meal (with fries + a drink). The full Curry x Sambal series runs 8 July to 18 August 2026 at all KFC outlets except Singapore Zoo, for dine-in, takeaway and delivery (GrabFood, foodpanda, KFC Delivery), while stocks last. Also in the line-up: the Curry x Sambal Chicken (2pc fried chicken + prata, $9.85 à la carte / $10.90 meal) and a weekend-only Curry x Sambal Macaroni Bowl ($7.50 à la carte / $8.50 meal, Fri–Sun only). It's a limited run tied to NDP, so it's here for about six weeks then gone.

Burger King Singapore has just dropped a fresh bank of 20 King Deals e-coupons (codes DL1–DL20), live from 6 July right through to 4 October 2026 — savings up to 62% off across breakfast, snacks, mains, desserts and sharing bundles. The headline steal is DL8: BK Nuggets (9pcs) + Fuze Tea Ice Lemon Tea (S) for just $5 (U.P. $13.15, 62% off). Other standouts: DL9 6pc Nuggets + Cheesy Fries at $5 (60% off), DL7 1-for-1 Onion Rings (M) at $4.80, DL12 BBQ Chicken Burger / Whopper Jr 2-for-$6.50 (50% off), DL14 Whopper w/ Cheese + Onion Rings at $7.50, and the big-group DL20 (Whopper + Spicy Chicken King + Fries L + 6pc Nuggets + Hershey's Pie + 2 drinks) at $20.90. Breakfast codes (DL1–DL4) start from $5.90 during breakfast hours. Redeem at the self-service kiosk (tap 'Use Coupon', key in the code) or via the BK app — not valid at Changi Airport outlets, over the drive-through counter, for BK Delivery, or with other promos; while stocks last. Here's every code, its price and its saving.

Set an early alarm: on Wednesday, 8 July 2026, 7-Eleven Singapore is giving away 2,500 FREE ready-to-eat sandwiches islandwide — no membership, no app, no minimum spend. From 8:00am, the first 50 customers at each of 50 participating stores get a free sandwich in one of two popular flavours: Egg & Cheese or Tuna. That works out to just 50 sandwiches per store, so once they're gone, they're gone — the classic 'don't say bojio, be kiasu' situation. This is the opening act of 7-Eleven's new 'Find the Good Stuff' campaign, which is handing out free ready-to-eat items every Wednesday through July (packed meals, onigiri and wraps on the following weeks). Here's the confirmed store list by region, exactly how to redeem, and the fine print to check before you queue.

Craving pizza without the guilt of the bill? We rounded up Singapore's best pizza deals for July–August 2026 — Domino's 50% off plus the S$5 all-day pickup MEGADEAL, Pizza Hut's National Day run (Cheesy 7 Durian and Otah Laksa, S$61 bundle, 27 Jul–31 Aug), Canadian's legendary 2-for-1 and its S$15.90 SAFRA Book Out Bundle, Peperoni's late-night 15% off, plus now-halal budget heroes GoPizza and Pezzo. Here's exactly what each brand is offering right now, with prices, the fine print and how to claim.

Last-call caffeine hack: Starbucks Singapore has a 1-for-1 (买一送一) Venti deal running through the Shopee 7.7 Super Sale — but it ends TOMORROW, Monday 7 July 2026, and the vouchers are redeemable ONLY inside the Shopee App. Six of the most-ordered Venti drinks qualify: Iced Matcha Latte, Java Chip Frappuccino, Chocolate Chip Crème Frappuccino, Caramel Frappuccino, Iced Vanilla Latte and the Pistachio Oatmilk Iced Shaken Latte. Buy one Venti voucher, get the second drink free — that's roughly $9 back in your pocket per pair. Grab the vouchers in the Shopee app before the 7.7 sale closes, then redeem in-store within the voucher validity window. Here's exactly which drinks are in, how the Shopee redemption works, and the fine print to check before you tap 'buy'.

One of Singapore's biggest flower shows is back for its 10th edition — and it's only on for nine days. The Singapore Garden Festival (SGF) 2026 runs 4–12 July at Gardens by the Bay, 10am–10pm daily (last entry 9.30pm), packing award-winning show gardens, an 8m-tall floral roller coaster you can photograph with life-sized teddy bears against the Marina Bay Sands skyline, a misty orchid tunnel ('Floral Vortex'), a 14m floral mirror maze, 500+ sunflowers with a giant beach-chair photo op, and interactive light-up blooms. Locals get in cheap: $12 for adults (13–59) and $8 for seniors (60+) and children (3–12) — half the $24 non-resident adult rate — or bundle it with the Flower Dome from $20. The outdoor MarketPlace is free to enter (10am–8pm). Here's every ticket price, the highlights worth queueing for, and the fine print.

A heatwave-timed tub raid: FairPrice's 'Price Drop — Cooling Down On A Hot Day' campaign has slashed a whole freezer aisle of ice cream until 15 July 2026. The headline steals: Niseko Assorted 1L tubs at $9.95 (U.P. $15.95, ~37% off), FairPrice Potong 6-sticks at $2.75 a pack (U.P. up to $4.20, ~34% off), and Magnolia Mag-A-Cone 4s at 2-for-$9.95 (U.P. 2-for-$16.30, ~38% off). There's more across the tub, cone and stick shelves — Movenpick 500ml at $12.90, Tillamook 1.42L at $14.95, XO ICE and no-sugar-added Denzy 473ml at $10.95/$9.95, Wall's Viennetta 2-for-$15.50, White Rabbit sticks 2-for-$20.90 and King's Potong 2-for-$11.90. No membership or Link card needed — the prices are on the shelf at all FairPrice supermarkets, Finest, Xtra and online, while stocks last. Here's the full price list and which tubs are actually worth stocking the freezer with.

Taiwan-street-snack favourite Shihlin is marking International Fried Chicken Day with a simple deal: buy one XXL Crispy Chicken, get your second one at 50% OFF — three days only, Monday to Wednesday, 6–8 July 2026, across all outlets islandwide (per Shihlin Singapore's official site, shihlin.sg). The XXL Crispy Chicken is their hand-sized signature — crunchy outside, juicy inside, dusted in that addictive six-spice coating — and third-party menu listings put it around $8.30 a la carte, so the second at half price works out to roughly $12+ for two instead of ~$16.60 (prices vary by outlet — confirm when you order). No credit card, no app code needed on the mechanic as published; go with a friend, or just buy two. It's a 'limited time only' promo tied to Fried Chicken Day (Mon 6 Jul), so don't leave it to the last minute.

Durian prices have turned: after a mid-July glut, Mao Shan Wang is back up to around $28–32/kg islandwide as Johor's harvest winds down and Pahang becomes the main supply. We compared 6 of Singapore's most reliable durian delivery services — Fresh Durian, Durian Delivery Singapore, Royal Durian, 99 Old Trees, Durian 36 and Ah Seng — on MSW price per kg/box, delivery speed (some do 24/7 or same-day 60-min), free-delivery thresholds and quality guarantees. Durian Delivery Singapore still lists the cheapest MSW at ~$18-20/kg, while 99 Old Trees has suspended delivery on low harvest. Order de-husked, freshly boxed durian to your doorstep tonight — and check the live per-kg rate before you do.

Prata just got nostalgically cheap: Springleaf Prata Place is running its 'Back In My Days' SG61 promotion for a full 61 days (1 July–4 August 2026), reviving throwback prices with a different signature favourite each week. This week (1–7 Jul, on now) it's the Plaster Blaster — the Benedict-inspired prata with turkey ham and a runny poached egg — at 61% off, down to $2.73 from $7. What follows: Prata Goreng at $2.34 (U.P. $6) from 8–14 Jul; the headline Plain Prata at $0.61 and Egg Prata at $0.99 from 15–21 Jul; the Chicken Floss Prata Special at $2.46 (U.P. $6.30) from 22–28 Jul; and the Mini Ultimate Murtabak at $6.10 from 29 Jul–4 Aug. Dine-in only, at all outlets except Tang Plaza, and it can't be combined with other promos, vouchers or membership perks — one deal a week, so mark your calendar.

NDP Sales 2026 are here: Singapore turns 61 on Sunday 9 August 2026 (Monday 10 August off in lieu) — and whether you call them NDP sales or National Day sales, the SG61 sale season has already started. Confirmed so far: McDonald's x Old Chang Kee's National Day curry collab (Curry Potato Chicken Burger + curry fries from 9 Jul, Rendang Curry Beef Burger + $9.90 lunch bag from 23 Jul), Springleaf Prata Place's 61 days of throwback deals ($0.61 plain prata, $6.10 Mini Ultimate Murtabak) and KFC's $39.95 So Shiok Feast (17 Jul–23 Aug). The big shopping wave lands from late July: expect Shopee and Lazada's 8.8 National Day sales, Courts / Harvey Norman / Gain City electronics blowouts, SG61 attraction promos at Sentosa and beyond, telco birthday perks (last year Singtel gave everyone free unlimited data on 9 Aug), and supermarket specials. We've laid out what's confirmed versus what's expected based on last year's SG60 playbook — with the real numbers brands ran in 2025 — and we'll update this page as each 2026 deal drops.

Geláre — the waffles, coffee and ice-cream chain — has opened a new outlet at Kinex (11 Tanjong Katong Road) and is marking it with FOUR straight weeks of rotating 1-for-1 deals, a different treat each week, all the way to 19 July 2026. Week by week: Classic Waffle (23–28 Jun, over), 1-for-1 Single Scoop Ice Cream (29 Jun–5 Jul, over), 1-for-1 Coffee & Mocktails (6–12 Jul — running NOW), and 1-for-1 Croffle (13–19 Jul).

Updated 22 Jul: with the July electricity tariff hike now in effect and the cost of living biting, eating out for less is the move. We've rounded up the best value dining and cheap eats deals live in Singapore right now — from Kei Kaisendon's 1-for-1 sashimi bowls (Fri–Sun) and Surrey Hills Grocer's 2-for-2 'Dinner Club' mains to the DBS/POSB 1-for-1 buffets (till 31 Jul), KFC's $6.50 Mondays, YAYOI's $5 off and the $9.90++ all-you-can-scoop tiramisu Fridays.

Claimed your $500 CDC Vouchers but not sure how to make them count? The vouchers split into $250 for heartland merchants & hawkers and $250 for supermarkets, and they're valid till 31 Dec 2027 — so a little planning goes a long way. Here are 5 smart ways to stretch them: split them by what you actually buy, stack them with supermarket promos, spend the heartland half at hawkers and wet markets, save them for recurring essentials, and coordinate as a household (while staying scam-safe). One catch to know first: vouchers come in fixed $2, $5 and $10 denominations and merchants can't give change — so always stack to just under your bill and top up the rest with cash.

One representative per household claims digitally with Singpass at go.gov.sg/cdcv, and the vouchers are valid until 31 December 2027. Here's exactly how to claim and use them.

Includes Cicheti (Kandahar St), Esquina (Jiak Chuan), Atlas Bar (Parkview Sq), Saint Pierre (Fullerton Pavilion), Bottega di Carna (1-Atico), Cure (Keong Saik), Burnt Ends (Dempsey), Cloudstreet (Amoy St).

Short answer on GSS 2026: there is no islandwide Great Singapore Sale any more. The Singapore Retailers Association stopped organising the GSS after 2022, and has since replaced it with the Singapore Retail Festival — the 2026 edition ran 4–26 July, with festival grounds at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza over three themed weekends. That means no single June-to-August sale window and no centralised launch date: malls and retailers now run their own promotions on their own calendars. This guide explains what actually changed, plus the 8 brand categories still worth watching — Takashimaya, Tangs, Apple Singapore, Sephora + Watsons, Uniqlo + Zara, Best Denki + Courts, Books Kinokuniya, and mall-wide events at VivoCity, Jewel, MBS, Ion and Paragon — with a discount-stacking method and tourist GST refund steps.

The everyday lunch list: 8 SG chain restaurants where the set lunch genuinely comes in under S$15 per pax — usable as a weekly rotation, not a once-in-a-while treat.

Personal Accident (PA) insurance plugs a gap that MediShield Life and Integrated Shield (IP) plans don't cover well — lump-sum payouts for accidental death, total/partial disablement, dismemberment, and a daily hospitalisation cash allowance regardless of medical bill amount.

This is general comparison content — get a quote from each insurer for your exact age + occupation before deciding.

Five SG restaurants where the set lunch price is genuinely the cheat-code of the menu — same kitchen, same chefs, same plating, materially lower per-head spend versus the dinner equivalent. Spread from Atlas Coffeehouse's ~$22 brunch plate in Bukit Timah to Burnt Ends' ~$98 lunch tasting at Dempsey. Includes Saveur (French casual, 3-course from $28+ at Purvis Street), Le Bistrot du Sommelier (~$38, Armenian Street) and Origin Grill at Shangri-La (~$68). Best for: affordable set lunch hunting, 1-on-1 work lunches you want to elevate without the dinner-rate spend, low-key dating that punches above weight, or first-time sampling of a high-end kitchen before committing to a dinner reservation.
