On Monday (18 Mar), the supermarket chain announced that they’ll be cutting up to 30% of prices for about 50 housebrand products. They’ll also be keeping the prices of a total of 100 such products fixed.

About 50 housebrand essentials, including baby diapers, biscuits and rice, will see prices cut by up to 30%. These products, together with another 50, will have their prices unchanged till 30 June 2020.

Discounts for the elderly on Wednesdays

Singaporeans aged between 59 and 69 who belong to the Merdeka Generation can look forward to 3% discounts on Wednesdays starting Monday (1 Jul).

This new initiative is named as Merdeka Wednesday, joining the ranks of Pioneer Mondays and Senior Citizen Tuesdays.

Currently, the Pioneer Generation gets 3% discount on Mondays, while senior citizens get 2% discount on Tuesdays.

 

Keeping daily essentials affordable

Over the years, NTUC FairPrice has become synonymous with our daily grocery needs and basic necessities.

Given Singapore’s rising cost of living, we are heartened that NTUC has made the move to keep our daily essentials affordable.
