The general consensus is that a trip to Universal Studios Singapore is guaranteed to make a big hole in your pocket, especially if you are bringing along your family members and paying for them!
However, there are ways to make full use of your visit and yet, at the same time, be able to reduce your expenses. One sizable expense in hot and humid Singapore is the one on drinks!
The most cost effective way is to utilise the free water coolers located in many locations within the theme park but what if your throat is just thirsting for a cup of ice cold coke priced at S$3.30 for a regular size!?
My suggestion?
Invest in a collectible souvenir water bottle! Depending on the design and capacity, it can cost you between S$8.90 and S$25.90 each. Woah, that sounds pricey, doesn't it?

Initially, it sure does although you must understand that the bottle comes with your choice of soft drinks (Coke, Sprite, Ice Lemon Tea) and each refill cost merely S$2 (S$4.80 per refill for iced milo, arctic crush frozen drinks etc)! Should there be four persons in your group, you would have easily incurred S$13.20 for merely 4 cups of regular sized drinks!
I see the-not-so-convinced look on your face.
Of course you have to choose the bottle carefully; get the above one or the bottle with just the pictures of USS celebrities which should cost around S$11-13.

Frequent patrons of USS would benefit the most as they could simply bring back the bottle and refill it at S$2! Now, i am so glad i got the annual pass!! Even if i visit Sentosa for the beaches, i could just pop by USS to get an enormous cup of soft drink for only two bucks!
Note: The above suggestion is not suitable for people
- who cannot stand sharing drinks with people due to hygiene purpose
- who die die must drink gassy drinks when others prefer non gassy ones
