Some families with 4 or more mouths to feed will find a mere single $5 meal expensive....
However, each his own, as his responsibilities to family...Enjoy your meal.
Ultimately, times are not good, thus each would have to save as much as possible - single or with families, BUT NEVER to neglect one's health. No matter how hungry we may be, health is important, & so too our loved ones. No matter how expensive Singapore had became to live, there still exists cheaper alternatives, thanks to our open market policies.
Eat healthy & have proper diet to sustain life & loved ones lives.
There's a local saying =death is more preferable than to paying the high medical costs currently in Singapore & Worldwide...& hopefully, Humanity can do something about it....
