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.
