Fairprice Slogan - here to make lives better. Means what ah? 😂 maybe it means buy if u thing u can afford.

Market stalls fish, veg and meat may not be cheaper. In fact, it can be more expensive. Why people still go to market to buy is because of freshness and personal service. Can get the parts of meat u want and can buy small portion. Try to buy veg for 2 to cook. U will understand.

Reminds me of alien building better worlds slogan.

Hopefully they dun go into biotechnology or etc in the future.

Name is Fairprice, not Cheapest-price...

Buying from Fairprice is like buying from 7-11, you are paying for the convenience of location and long operating hours

whether the premium charged is "fair" or not, depends on who you ask

Those who frequent Venus, please check source and date of expiry/manufacture. I stopped buying from them because DOM for Kerastase shampoos can go as far back as 2023. They also sell samples which are not for sale.
