of course, ntuc get their products from the authorized distributors who has additional regulatory/marketing cost , while the other 2 are parallel importers.

Why must they get from authorised distributors in the first place?

Just bought this at market stall for $4.50. NTUC selling >2x more expensive for the same thing. How come?

Aiya, NTUC got aircon, packaging, overheads, all these add to price one. Market stall usually cheaper 'cause no frills, and auntie uncle sometimes give better deal. FairPrice convenient but not always cheapest lor. Gotta compare a bit lah!

Fairprice is just like any other commercial grocer, there's no obligation for it to offer lowest prices. Just go with whichever gives better value, we also no obligation to buy from Fairprice
