Giant Has Groceries Like Seafood & Rice At Lower Prices, Shop Without Worrying About Inflation

Giant’s ‘Lower Prices That Last’ Campaign Keeps Grocery Prices Low To Battle Inflation

As the world emerges from the pandemic, most economies are going through a period of inflation, with prices for even basic necessities going up so much that we wince every time we add something to our shopping bag.

However, one supermarket chain here in Singapore is looking out for their customers by keeping their prices low.

Since 2020, Giant has been running their “Lower Prices That Last” campaign, which promises to keep hundreds of their products at the same low affordable prices every day.

By saving a few cents here and there on groceries and other things, it can definitely help us feel less of the pinch — especially since the upcoming GST hike is kicking in soon.

Affordable groceries at Giant supermarkets

When Covid-19 struck in 2020 and affected many of us financially, Giant came to the rescue by reducing the prices of daily essentials.

This year, they’re adding even more items to the list, demonstrating their commitment to helping Singaporeans cope with the rising costs of living.

As the economy continues to take a hit, having so many items remain at affordable rates is certainly a godsend.
