Mr Asokh Singh, 49, now prefers to make trips to Little India to buy his groceries instead of buying them from supermarkets near his home, where the prices of vegetables are at least 50 to 80 cents higher, he said.
He used to earn around S$8,000 a month as a general manager of a travel agency, but it has since been cut to around S$2,000 due to the Covid-19 impact on the travel industry.
“Last time I had a different lifestyle but now every cent matters… I will try to find cheaper alternatives to make my purchases. If I find a wholesale place, even better so I can save more money,” said the father of two school-going children.
Mr Singh also sold his car in November last year and began renting out two rooms in his five-room HDB flat about six months ago. He is looking to sell his house and move to a smaller one.
