Value for money home renovations at North West Interior Design Pte Ltd!

I remembered I was helping my brother find a interior design firm to renovate his flat 2 years back and chanced upon the advertisement for North West Interior Design Pte Ltd in Straits Times Classified. What striked me was that they were offering a lot of free gifts (think 11 of them, including system-3 air-cons, wash basins, water heater, kitchen sink, toilet accessories, cooker hood and hob, toilet bowls, toilet accessories etc.). I accompanied my brother to their Macpherson Road showroom to find out more as their promotion seemed too good to be true. I must say I come away pretty impressed with their design and great value. The free gifts which they offered were brand names and they looked good in one's house.

My brother eventually signed North West Interior Design up as his ID as there was no chance of him securing a better deal else where. Well... his flat was done up very nicely by them and visiting relatives were thinking that the renovations looked much more expensive than the amount of money my brother had paid.

North West is now offering 11 FREE gifts & 4 SECRET FREE gifts if you renovate your house with them:
1) Sys 3 Air-conditioner
2) Stainless Steel Hood *FREE installation
3) Stainless Steel Cooker *FREE installation
4) Stainless Steel Sink *FREE installation
5) Stainless Steel Sink Tap *FREE installation
6) 2 set of toilet bowl
7) 2 set of designer basin
8) 2 set of Stainless Steel basin tap
9) Storage water heater
10) 2 sets of stainless steel shower mixer
11) 20% discount up to $6,000.00

If you are thinking of renovating your house, you can consider them as one of your options. Compare between a few IDs before making the decision.

Tip 1: Always remember to negotiate for the best deal even if the deal already looks great. There may still be chances of further price reduction as the ID firm wishes to close the deal.

Tip 2: If you are on a tight budget, just try to meet the minimum requirements to secure the free gifts (trust me, their free gifts cost quite a lot. You save yourself money and headache too (in buying the things outside yourself) when you secure the free gifts).

Tip 3: Resist temptations to have fanciful and costly features, if you are on a tight budget.

Great offer for 3D2N Genting trip!! Book by 03 Oct 2009!

Live Fresh by DBS

Noticed this new credit card called "Live Fresh DBS Visa payWave Platinum Card" that DBS is promoting lately on MRT trains.

Nowadays, it seems that banks need to be creative and instill some form of life and character in a credit card. Here it goes:

Living Fresh is all about living out every side of you, having different takes on life and not forgetting your point of view. That’s where your new Live Fresh DBS Visa payWave Platinum Card comes in. It gives you multiple choices in your social life and is the first card in Singapore to offer ez-link, Visa payWave and EMV security features.

This card is the only credit card other than Citibank SMRT Visa Card that offer ez-link features. It will auto top up when your card value falls into negative territory.

In addition, this card also offers some other perks for clubbing, watching movies at GV etc. Click on the Live Fresh by DBS advert on the right panel of my blog for more details ^_^

溏心风暴之家好月圆

I quite enjoy watching hong kong serial 溏心风暴之家好月圆. Just like to share this link http://tv.sohu.com/20090117/n261807838.shtml with fellow hong kong serial fans. The image is quite sharp and more importantly it does not lag on my starhub broadband. Watch all 40 episodes now.

Do check back for further updates on best bargains. ^_^

Seeking the best savings on telco services

When it comes to seeking out the best savings for telco services, the first step is of course to check if there is any corporate plan which you can tag onto. If yes, seek out the corporate plan that gives you the most amount of savings. Sometimes, the savings can be so substantial that it is worth paying the up-front administrative fees ($10 to $20) to change ownership of the mobile line to the person in the household who has the best corporate plan. Furthermore, with number portability these days, changing telco is no longer a problem as we get to retain our existing number at no extra costs. Hence, do compare the corporate plans available for the different telcos and pick the best one.

Some of you may not be aware that there are actually people around who are willing to pay you a few hundreds (exact amount depends on your mobile plan) to recontract your mobile phone service - just browse through the newspaper classified and you will see a number of advert on this. What they want from you is the new mobile phone which you get from recontracting. From what I understand, it is cheaper for these people to acquire the new phone in this way as compared to buying the new phones directly from the authorized suppliers or maybe some of them do not have the rights to purchase phones directly from suppliers.

Recently, I just became a Starhub Hub Club member as I subscribed to their mobile phone, cable tv and broadband services (3 services) and I am quite pleased that with the enrolment as a Hub Club member, I can do a phone upgrade every 12 months instead of the usual 21 months. As I am a happy i-phone user, I reckon I will be getting myself paid twice for recontracting in the next 2 years. Now, that's a way of making easy money.

Toiletries - where to get the bargain buys?

This is definitely nothing new, but for the benefit of those who happens not to know, you can check out Swanston toiletries store located at the 2nd floor of People's Park Complex food centre in Chinatown. They sell a wide variety of toiletries products at discounted prices which are hard to beat. Just to quote an example, I recently saw an Ascience 550ml shampoo or conditioner selling at $12.90 at a NTUC Fairprice supermarket (can imagine that they are sold at an even higher price at say Cold Storage) but at Swanston, they were running a special offer of 2 Ascience 550ml shampoo or conditioner for just $19.50 (that works out to be $9.75 for 1). Well... now that's almost a staggering 25% difference. Seek out the great bargains here (some are really great), stretch your dollar in the process hehe.
