Great Deal in Spinelli

I was visiting my brother-in-law in Tan Tock Seng. He was warded with a pain in the neck. Literally. I am not being facetious. Anyway, I had some time to kill and drop by the mall nearby, Novena Square.

I could not recognised anymore with all the extension and food court which was at ground floor has been moved to fourth of the extension. Spinelli is at the ground floor overlooking the main road. I like the coffee in Spinelli. I used to enjoy it very often at basement two of Takashimaya. They even have a frequent stamp system that they keep for regulars like me. 12 cups and get one free.

I drop by to Spinelli even though I am not thirsty, I like to just buy a designer coffee. It is an ego thing. I feel good to afford such an expensive coffee. There is a promotion by Reader's Digest. If you buy a Reader's Digest, you can get a medium coffee free. I have to checked with the barista to make sure I understand the deal. "What kind of coffee?" I asks, looking at the menu. I expect a promotion like this mean Americano coffee, the lowest price in the menu. The barista says "any medium expresso based coffee". I looked at the menu and medium caramel latte is $5.30 and the cost of Reader's Digest is $9.50. Not bad. RD at half price. I took the deal. I am in for another surprise. There is a thick Discovery channel ring binder notebook. This notebook should be worth more than five bucks.

Awesome deal!
