💰 Survive a Day in Singapore with Just 10 SGD! Can You Do It?!

In Singapore, one of the world’s most expensive countries, can you survive for 24 hours with just 10 SGD?

Here’s a challenge shared by a netizen on how to make the most of 10 SGD:

🍞 8:00 AM | Kaya Warrior Strikes: 2 SGD
For 2 SGD, two slices of crispy kaya toast are secured. The secret? Bring your own thermos to fill with free hot water.

🥬 12:00 PM | Hawker Center Economics in Action: 3SGD
At the mixed rice stall in the hawker center, two vegetables and rice for 3 SGD. Focus on high-water-content ingredients like winter melon and cabbage, and leverage free soup to fill up.

📚 3:00 PM | Air Conditioning Capitalization: 0 SGD
Head to the National Library to enjoy the "three free essentials": air conditioning, WiFi, and charging outlets.

🍜 7:00 PM | Noodle Showdown: 3.5 SGD vs. 5 SGD
Fish ball noodles (3.5 SGD) and economic fried rice noodles (5 SGD) engage in a price battle. The solution is to employ a dynamic balance strategy—eat noodles on odd days and rice noodles on even days, using time to save money and meet the budget.

💰 Hardcore Player Bonus
An extreme saver shares their survival plan: a 3.5 SGD large bread plus free water dispenser = a 24-hour survival meal. But the opposing view is just as loud: "Going out in Singapore without 50 SGD is like going into battle without armor!"

    🌟🌟🌟尽管新加坡是东南亚最昂贵的城市之一,但每天只需10新元的食物绝对可以生存。这是一个很好的练习,让我们注意如何花钱,也让我们意识到生活在新加坡是多么幸运。

    靠10新币生存的最好方法是在家做饭。我相信蛋白质、碳水化合物和纤维的均衡饮食。

    早餐我会吃一个煮鸡蛋和吐司,然后是一份香蕉和牛奶。我会用鱼丸、卷心菜和豆腐煮营多面。晚餐我会吃一些家常菜意大利肉酱面,配一些碎牛肉和番茄酱,外加一小份卷心莴苣。我将以苹果作为甜点来结束这顿饭。

    在家做饭更有营养,还能省很多钱。在工作日,我有时会打包剩下的家常菜去上班。我一整天都喝很多水,这是我最喜欢的补水方式。

    如果我们想通过一些先进的膳食计划和谨慎的购物来做到这一点,每天仅靠10新加坡元生存并不是一件困难的事情。

    💸🇸🇬🙏🌴🔥 10 Bucks, One Kiwi, and a Singapore Survival Sia! 🔥🌴🚀

    $Singapore Airlines Ltd.(SINGF)$ $FREELANCER LTD(FLN.AU)$ 

    If I landed in dazzling Singapore with a measly 10 SGD, practically pocket lint in this ex lah pricey paradise, I’d unleash my inner Kiwi cheapskate and turn it into a bloody triumph, sia! 🌴

    First, pre-departure 🛫🇸🇬, I’d slide into Space Rocket or koolgal’s DMs with a suave, “How about a charming Kiwi crashing your pad lah, armed with a sheep-shaped trinket from NZ, eh?” 🌟 No point splashing out on a hotel when I’ve got charisma, a souvenir, and a bit of cheek sia.

    With crash space sorted, I’d kick off at 8:00 AM, snagging kaya toast for 2 SGD, rocking up with my thermos like a thrift-store James Bond, sipping free hot water with a sly grin, so shiok lah. 🍞☕

    By noon, I’d hit the hawker centre, masterminding a 3 SGD veggie-rice steal, cabbage, winter melon, you watery legends, while smashing free soup like it’s a gourmet elixir, damn chio lah. 🥬🍲

    At 3:00 PM, I’d saunter into the National Library, soaking up free AC, WiFi, juice for my phone, maybe winking at a book to look a bit flash, siao lah, so good! 📚❄️

    Come 6:00 PM, it’s fish ball noodle time for 3.5 SGD, odd days, odd vibes, leaving me 1.5 SGD to strut into tomorrow like a boss lah. 🍜💸

    Survive 24 hours? Mate, I’d ace it sia, Singapore would be begging for an encore, no worries lah, so shiok! 🇸🇬

      In real life, go easy on the luncheon meat and canned stewed pork ya. Loads of harmful nitrates and nitrites.

    $10 a day is possible - just take a heavier brunch (which covers both breakfast and lunch) and dinner either prepared at home or from the friendly neighbourhood coffee shop downstairs☺️❤️👍 @Tiger_SG @Cctan

    Ultimately, it's your choice. A big loaf of bread, with Singapore government approved healthier choice, and a 1 liter milk should cost less than $10. I personally can survive 2 days (easily) from this combination. So it's your life, make your own choices.

    如果我只有10新币在新加坡生存24小时,我会去享受终极的物有所值盛宴——没有半途而废,只有纯粹的效率。

    首先,我会去FairPrice买一整只烤鸡,只需6新币。如果合理配给,这是一顿富含蛋白质的膳食,可以持续两到三餐。搭配一条面包(2新币)给了我一些碳水化合物,让我一整天都保持饱腹感。烤鸡和面包?

    还剩2新币,我会犒劳自己一大瓶可乐,因为说实话,独自在水上生存有点太硬了。这样,我一整天都吃饱了,还有一些提神的东西可以啜饮。

    在剩下的挑战中,我会在免费的空调空间里放松——像图书馆或商场这样的地方提供免费WiFi和舒适的座位。如果我真的需要变化,我可以把面包换成方便面或米饭,但烤鸡策略保证了最大的满足感。

    Meals alone within $10 possible. Add housing loan, management fees, utilities, WiFi, car, taxes etc., $10 a day is impossible.

    $10 a day is not possible for food and basic transport + lodging. Unless you tell me you want to live in the park, beach or Changi Airport, all of which are illegal.

    WOW 😳 $10 💰 for 24hrs... [Thinking] I will get a packet of Nissin Oats Granola at an offer price of $9.10 per 500g from NTUC Fairprice. (Disclaimer: Not promoting Nissin, but I do like these oats, alternative is Calbee but only when they are on offer [Chuckle]) . It should last more than 24hrs. Drink water 💦😋. Air-conditioning... either the Library or Shopping malls [Chuckle] [Chuckle] [Chuckle]. @Jes86188 @新美股神 @Gis @Aqa

    我通常的工作日从在家吃早餐(1.78美元的当地农场生菜)和喝水开始。去办公室工作,午餐时间我会在办公室食堂吃3.40美元(米饭2菜1肉),带上我的水瓶从饮水机里续水。在回家的路上,和丈夫在我们家附近的一家咖啡店吃晚饭(有时他请我,有时我请他)4.5美元的面条。回家喝水。

    Singapore is expensive, but can you last a day with just $10? It’s tough but possible!


    Breakfast ($2.50): Start with kaya toast and coffee at a hawker center.
    Transport ($1.50): Walk more and take just one MRT or bus ride.
    Lunch ($3.00): Grab chicken rice or economy rice.
    Free Activities ($0): Explore Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, or Chinatown.
    Dinner ($3.00): Enjoy a bowl of lor mee or porridge at a hawker stall.
    It’s a challenge, but with careful planning, you can stretch every dollar. Would you try it?

    On workdays, I eat oats at home. For lunch used Koufu app or timbre app to get 10% discount. Fishball noodle around $5. For dinner Cai fan can keep below $5 as I am in a mature estate.

    Definitely can survive a day in Singapore with just 10 SGD if eat simple meals at home, hawker centres, coffee shops or eateries.  E.g. Soya bean milk with youtiao $1.50 breakfast, nakhon thai style horfun $4 lunch, Caifan $4.50 dinner (take own water). If lazy, just cup noodle/porridge will do <$2.

    Intermittent fasting, eating only 2 meals between 11am to 7pm. Good for health too. Cook 3 scrambled egg for the first meal and instant coffee. About $2.
    2nd meal, eat food court rice, tofu and cabbage. $4.
    Still have $4 left for in between black coffee at food court.
    Suggestion to camp in library is a fantastic idea.
