Comparison of grocery prices

This is posted in advance via timestamp. I’ll be away for the next 2 weeks

I take care of my diet and there’s a need for me to do my own grocery shopping every fortnightly

I ensure the stocking up of food items is sufficient, so as I won’t run out of things to munch-on for my daily food intake

Around my area there’s three giant supermarkets and there’s a need to be really be frugal on my part as daily items prices are on the rise in Singapore these days

We all know there’s a rise in food prices due to the inflation

So I put to the ‘test’ of the three supermarket

To find out, which supermarket sells the ‘cheapest’ stuff for the food items I regularly purchase

So there you go, after a few weeks of buying at these three outlets, jotting down the prices from the receipt …

The conclusion is that Sheng Shiong offers the cheapest grocery items for my chosen foodstuff

There’s not much difference between Cold Storage and NTUC Fairprice

From now on I’ll just stick with Sheng Shiong

In the long run, I believe I’ll saved plenty

I have to, with the hike in cost of living these days

Every cents that’s saved counts right

How about you, where do you shop?

Disclaimer: I tried my best to find items of the same brand and quantity but the supermarkets at times doesn’t carry it. But more or less I try to find a suitable replacement. I can’t be arse if it’s totally unaccurate
