You can get your snacks ,chocolates toiletries at Value Dollar, they import all these from quite a few countries, thus much cheaper . Do go to bigger outlets for more choices

@RonLarhz 5 лет назад

Also new "hack",koko cruch and "milo" balls cereal is under another character so you might have miss the deal. $1cheaper and 50g-70g more than fairprice. I've googled n its legit nestle,just region diff characters.

If you want cheap groceries you should try hdb wet market chicken sure to be fresh and vegetables. The only difference is no air-conditioning but you learn something from the auntys and grandma picking and choosing..

@18_tanen12 5 лет назад

I don,t really like GIANT,went to giant once and there is moldy bread and the milk is expired.I also think the vegetables are not as fresh.

@MrZychin 5 лет назад

It's funny how you say the things are much more expensive here in Singapore, yet when I remembered my first trip to Tesco in the UK, I said the same things about almost every product too (besides ice cream,it's crazy cheap there, iirc it was like 5 pounds for haagen daz/ben & jerrys, but they had lesser variety of flavours). Also, I carry my groceries on my backpack so i don't have to strain my hands getting them back home. To save costs, I sometimes visit the supermarket after my lectures in the evening hoping to find some discounted items so I can cook them for dinner, or just store them in the freezer.

@joesr31 3 года назад

Serious? I thought the prices in UK were so much cheaper. Like 500g of frozen potato wedges cost like £1. Some fruits were really cheap as well, bought entire box of strawberries for £1, sausages were cheap as well. So were the cheeses. The fresh vegetables may be more expensive because of the conversion rate. But generally UK groceries seemed cheaper for me. Except their eggs, those were so expensive

@unreatedbruhaha 5 лет назад

You should check out ValuDollar for snacks and chocolates much cheaper over there than anywhere else. Raw food items like veggies or fishes and meats are much cheaper at large wet markets like Geylang, Tekka or Clementi.

@ivanlimzg 5 лет назад

do take note that majority of items from ValuDollar are imported from India, therefore the quality is different from those imported from Western countries

@@ivanlimzg Even those ValuDollar/ABC snacks Mft in Western countries, I have doubts. Once I did a cross check with company happen to be a SG home brand, why ABC stores are selling the product (not food) half the price compare to local stores. The texture was different too. Product from ABC is Made in India and the local stores are from China. Reply was they do own factory in India. Their India products are cater to India government standards.

@lan8088 5 лет назад

nah some items or snacks at value$ are terrible...

@aggierants 5 лет назад

I think prices varies in every country. I am a Singaporean living in Australia. The alcohol, ice cream and yogurts are cheap here. But because I am asian and wants my asian fix. Ginger which usually cost like less than a dollar in SG, it costs 8 bucks here in Australia. Plus, SG has to import a lot of stuffs in so the money u paying is probably for the import tax. But again, there is 5 bucks chicken rice or whatever fix for lunch/dinner if you do not want to cook! Almost impossible to get a 5 bucks meal in UK or AU.

@MsRunningInRain 5 лет назад

Omg yes, and to try and find any chicken rice in australia is virtually impossible too D:

At Don Don Donki in Singapore (there's a branch in Tanjong Pagar, and one in orchard.) they sell really good salmon in a whole pack of 8 for less than $30.

@mohammedaqilbinmohdmislan5774 5 лет назад

Personally I buy my salmon from ShengShiong or Giant. Buy the whole fish and get them to fillet it for you. It's much cheaper.

Georgia Caney Giant has cheaper and weirder snacks. But produce wise, they’re about the same.

@stevenl4459 5 лет назад

@@GeorgiaCaney Among other chains under its wings, Jasons/Market Place, Cold Storage and Giant are owned by Dairy Farm Int'l Holdings. With Jasons/Market Place being the high-end outlet, I will assume that anything that does not sell gets moved down the chain, if you get my drift! We have shopped countless times at Giant, only to be disappointed repeatedly by the quality of their fresh fruits, poultry, fish and meat, even though it may be cheaper! Having no affiliations with any supermarket, chances are you may get better quality at reasonable prices from Fair Price, Sheng Siong or the wet markets. If not, only shop at the bigger Giant stores like edwardalcantara66 suggested. A big THANK YOU for promoting a ZERO PLASTIC BAGS campaign! In general, we have not been educated enough to care about our environment, let alone climate change. It may take another 10-20 years to fully adopt the use of recycle shopping bags instead. Even from an environment-conscious country like Australia, the major supermarkets coped a fair amount of flak from customers when it stopped supplying single-use plastic bags in July this year! Btw you can consider downloading the free XE Currency converter app on your mobile, with instant and live FX rates in any currency, eg SGD to GBP or vice visa, or more currencies if required.

@yang7245 5 лет назад

I actually happen to like giant. They have un-bagged(?) produce, yay to less plastic. They also have a basket for "flawed" produce or produce that are too ripe for commercial sale and they're about 50% cheaper. Less waste. The only "negative point" Giant has is inconsistency. Larger giants are clean and well stocked, while the smaller ones are kind of shabby and shelves are often empty or low in stock.

@ylw 5 лет назад

Haha Justin sneaked in some lava cakes! Anyway if you're shopping frequently at NTUC you can sign up for the Linkpoints membership which can probably save you about 1-2% for receipts above $20. If you want NTUC delivered instead, Shopback has 2% cashback for Fairprice Online! For yoghurt I usually get a huge tub which is cheaper per weight of yoghurt. You can also have some local vegetables apart from prepacked spinach. For example, I like steamed kai lan with some sesame oil and dark soy sauce drizzled on it.

@evansim4626 5 лет назад

I like how almost everything is related to how expensive cold storage products are

@isabelkoh6795 5 лет назад

I know this is late, but if you want cheaper salmon, you can by the whole fish, ask them to chop it up and you can freeze the slices. It will probably last you the whole year depending on how much you eat at once.

@elainenhc 5 лет назад

You can go to Frassler, it’s somewhere near woodlands. It’s like a wholesale place (?) that sells salmon at a good price. They do have some frozen soup that’s really good too!

@syph365 5 лет назад

A large part of the plastic packaging is due to Singapore's reliance on external sources of produce. A lot are shipped in from overseas hence the protective plastic packaging. Especially for perishables.

@nadiah9685 5 лет назад

Happy to see you buying veggie options after talking about plastic. People are Concerned about environmental damage while not acknowledging the environmental impact of meat production so eating veggie a few times a week can help minimise this

@ricehaha_lol 3 года назад

you can go to the fresh seafood section in Sheng Siong and buy the whole salmon (they'll scale, clean and chop into steak sizes for you) and freeze it. Lasts me and my parents for like a month or more depending on how we use it. The salmon head can be used to make fish soup with ginger, garlic, abit of chicken stock. I mean it is cheaper but u can compare them by weight

Wondering what UK use to wrap those bundle veg and fruits to keep them fresh or last longer? Agree that we need to reduce plastic, however, an cheap\less expensive alternative solution must be in place. If not it will be added to the food cause and price will be even more expensive.

Fun fact: If you visit the Fassler gourmet store at the Woodlands industrial estate, you can get smoke salmon at wholesale price!

@yang7245 5 лет назад

NTUC used to have their produce un-packaged and you would have to package and weigh them yourself. I actually liked that concept better since it enabled consumers to bring their own reusable produce bags or have the liberty to not use bags at all. Still not sure why they started packaging their produce though. Maybe there were too many aunties squishing the produce and damaging them lol jk

@MonsterLizx 5 лет назад

@charlz2606 5 лет назад

Hi Georgia! You can try the wholesalers There’s a few in Woodlands. Try 46 Woodlands Terrace. It’s in an industrial area but they have an “open-house” over the weekends. They have the meat section, Fasslers next door where you can walk into their freezer for seafood and soups and if you walk further down to No. 26, you can get ice cream and desserts at wholesale prices. Do check it out! I just bought a ton of Christmas goodies (hams, turkeys, ribs, etc) at a steal!

@DGrayMan180994 5 лет назад

The salmon pricing is abit more expensive than the NTUC I often go to. I assume it's Fairprice finest? $35+ per kg(Fairprice finest) vs $25+ per kg(neighborhood NTUC).

@natara2384 5 лет назад

Hey Georgia, just a lil recommendation. I live in the West area, and if you would like to go to a bigger Fairprice, i recommend going to Bukit Panjang Plaza! There's a variety of products there if you live in the West area. And the best part, it's two levels! There's another place in JB which is called MyDin. It's super cheap and you can buy a lot of stuffs there! Kinda like a Walmart of America. If your budget is ever tight for groceries like mine, do check this place out! It's cool!

@pokok789 5 лет назад

I always shop for chocolates and potato chips at Mustaffa Center. No other place in Singapore carries such a wide and diverse range of chocolates than Mustaffa. For example, you can find Cadbury chocolates that are not only directly imported from UK but also from Australia and the middle east. You can find similar imported chocolates from various parts of the world and the prices for them are quite reasonable. Quality Street chocolates are also available there in different size packaging and I think the one that you bought actually cost lesser in Mustaffa and is also imported from the UK.

@odomisauq 5 лет назад

You should check out Unpackt . They are Singapore's first grocery store that sells groceries with little or no packaging. They have two stores, one at Jalan Kuras and the other at Downtown Gallery.

@SodaAvenue 5 лет назад

Hi Georgia, for Hagen Daz (or Ben & jerrys - its too sweet imo) , you can wait for the discount of 2 pints for $20 sometimes. When there is such offer in ntuc, do go early as all the flavours are grabbed if you go a few days late.. unless they restock. Sometimes they don't. Try to look at newspapers or on internet for monthly / weekly ntuc promotions.

@athenaathena3130 5 лет назад

If you're looking for a slightly bigger Fairprice, you can try the ones at Our Tampines Hub and Kallang Wave Mall.

I usually go to Geylang market for wet food shopping.. Seafood, fish, meat, chicken, shellfish, dry goods, vegetables all. It’s cheaper... The rest I’ll but from the Giant at my place. So my marketing usually about 1-2 weeks stock for my household. The frozen food also cheaper at Geylang market frozen shop. It’s a good option for bigger household like mine.

If you're living as a foreigner in Singapore, it's really gonna be expensive because you can't buy a hdbflat and can only rent it for a usually more expensive price or live in a condominium. Going to schools and hospitals are also really expensive since you don't have government subsidies. Food wise depending on what you choose to eat, the price really varies and usually it's not as expensive

Tbh, it is better to get alcohol on Lazada or Qoo10. It is much cheaper than the supermarket prices, and you can pick it up at nearby collection points (varies from 7-11 stores, etc) Your best bet is the wet markets, you can easily get a week's worth of food for $50 or less. The only problem is when you need to learn mandarin to get better prices while bargaining. Also, you might want to consider NTUC, Sheng Shiong and Giant. These 3 offer a much lower price and you can collect points to redeem.

@MaferSeow 5 лет назад

Another way of getting cheaper deal is go to a wet market, of course Fairprice helped to exclude the experience of walking down crowded market with wet floor and packaging. Sheng Shiong is good too - but I'd say Fair Price and Giant are my go to places most of the time...

@ebonyloveivory 5 лет назад

As people mentioned before, there are places like Value Dollar and Sheng Shiong, Giant for cheaper alternatives. And perhaps sign up for a membership like Passion Card or Ntuc card. ^^ Also, as you've said it yourself, the wet markets are great for fresh produce. You're able to get Salmon for $5 and a good sized fish for that price as well. Wait for offers / promotional discounts to get treats :> Snacks / Sweets like "After Eight" are available at Value dollar for way cheaper. Those prices are high because of the festive season packaging >

The alcohol prices, I understand, taxes. However, the ice cream prices are just ridiculous. I love it when I visit the UK and buy Ben&Jerry’s for £2.5.

Just thought to let you know Georgia that in Australia a small tub of Haagen-Dasz Ice cream is $11.50, where as you pointed out in Singapore the same ones are $5.50. Australia isn’t cheap either unfortunately. xoxo
