This was after he noticed that his monthly expenses on groceries and utilities going up from S$1,200 to S$1,500.

A cup of bubble tea or a McDonald's meal are now luxuries that he would hesitate to indulge in.

“The money saved can be better used for enrichment for the kids and perhaps even more nutritious food,” said Mr Lim, who has a wife working in a logistics firm and three children aged between four and eight years old.
