Forget the proverb about eating an apple a day. The only saying I can relate to nowadays is, “A coffee a day keeps the grumpy away”. A hopeless caffeine addict, I sometimes need more than one cup of joe to keep me going, but that also means I often find myself burning a hole in my wallet after spending an entire day downing coffee.
If you ever feel the same, Coffee Break can help those like us save some moolah. This new smartphone app offers discounts for coffee at more than 70 cafes around Singapore, and you can get a cuppa starting from $3.75. All you need to do is buy a package, make your order on the app, and flash it to the cashier to redeem your brew!
