The Power of $2 in 2020

The first month of 2020 passed by in such a flurry and I still can’t handle the fact that Chinese New Year is over and Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. But one thing that stays the same? My barren-as-ever bank account balance.

Back when I was still a doe-eyed teenager in secondary school, $2 could buy me a bowl of piping hot lormee from my school canteen or a McFlurry when I was feeling fancy.

But that was in 2010. Fast forward to today, $2 can barely pay for my lunch and instead only suffice for a can of carbonated drinks that might give me diabetes instead. If you want to stretch your $2 but not your food budget, here’s how you can grab your next meal for just $2.
