i am saying supermarket to supermarket comparison.....
i hunt for the cheapest... u think i dunnoe meh. i dunnoe how long i never go supermarket buy toothpaste liao.

u can't compare apple with orange
u know how much supermarket paid for their rental, electricity, employees?
i won't even use this to compare with supermarket. because business model is diff.
if u want to insist, then go jb buy also cheap cheap what. time is also money.

Most Singaporeans are not political saavy.

You need to support the underdog more to leverage against the incumbent even if they are doing ok. So that your life will progress even better when they work cheeper, better and faster for you.

As for DFI Group they better consolidate and close all Giant outlets and focus on Cold Storage.

Should open more 24 hours "Makmak" shop with 1 staff under older HDB void decks. Surely many people buy snacks, beer and cigarettes late at night. Not all estates have a 24 hours supermarket within 2min walk.

But Cold Storage is kinda atas. Even though I like the ambience better than Finest

me comparing green with green

my green is color blind, it does not discriminate. it only seeking the cheapest.

me only care about the green, who give me the cheapest, who win

Cold Storage caters to the higher end market. Most heartlanders will not patronise.

Last time I always go JB and buy groceries from Kapitan Grocer (Galleria @ Kotaraya). Too bad this outlet closed some time back. Now the remaining ones are the smaller outlets in City Square and Komtar JBCC.

At one point in my life I was quite broke. Thank goodness there is JB where I can eat KFC and buy stuff on a budget without breaking the bank!

my bad.. i dunnoe u hate ntuc so much.

my logic is simple.
ur place is ntuc.... so when u said expensive..... i thought u're referring to all the supermarket e.g giant ss cold storage ustar etc. not online, valueshop etc.

my place is giant, their items are 10c to $1 more expensive than ntuc. i don't hate any supermarket, just neutral whoever cheapest... i like.

ntuc has economy of scale lor. They can even price war to shut down physical stores competition indefinitely (my assumption) but will kena Competition Act

i doubt so. A lot of people think groceries make a lot of money, but the profit margin is really really small.
If anyone did price war, they are digging their own grave. If there is such thing, sheng siong able to expand till today. then prime etc.

But they able to win bids.... maybe they bid high high ba. i observe sengkang a lot of ntuc. lol

pc hardware, always wait for black friday either amazon or newegg.



dont even need to compare with SG, it always most expensive no matter who selling




SG Competition is with the world not local

Competitions have to be allowed to come in, just like in the any industries eg telecom and banking etc.

numbers of outlets and the size of their operations speak alot how much advantages one has over the other.

rumor was the latter is affliated.

Ultimately, it can still benefit them in certain arrangements.

period.
