An observation I made that if you can find the same product in both Finest & FairPrice, they’re priced the same! Only that Finest sells a wider variety of items that cater to an upscale lifestyle hence those products cost more in specific.

not true. NTUC prices all their products priced the same across all their outlets. if one store has a discount, all of them have the same discount. the only difference is the variety. Fairprice Xtra (like at Vivo) has a massive selection, Fairprice Finest has more atas selection, regular Fairprice mostly only has local items.

The cost of living in Spore is slightly cheaper as compared to other first-tier cities in developed countries. Spore is consistently ranked as (one of) the most expensive cities in the world, probably due to the cost of private apartments and car ownership. Having said that, these 2 items are not must-have for local citizens in order to live comfortably. Citizens are entitled to own govt-subsidised good quality HDB flats and at the same time able to travel around the island with affordable & excellent public transport services.

I chuckled when I saw you all heading to a more upscale supermarket. That's not where Singaporeans typically shop. We prefer the neighborhood supermarkets for more affordable options. Some local stores even offer prices lower than those chain supermarkets. So, if you find it expensive, you're correct. However, if you think it's cheap, you can discover even more budget-friendly options at our neighborhood supermarkets or local stores.

The supermarket that you visited is Fairprice Finest in a shopping mall. Its fruits and vegetables are more expensive than those that we can find in heartland supermarkets. Other than these two, all other products are selling at the same price across all Fairprice supermarkets. Singapore is always ranked among the most expensive cities in the world due mainly to its ultra-expensive private housing and cars. It is not expensive compared with other cities in the west such as NY, London, Paris, Zurich, etc. Here are some of the products that I bought on Dec 4, 2023, from Sheng Siong supermarket: two bottles (1L each) of Australian milk $6.65, two China broccoli $2.20, Australian carrots $1.90/kg, Cavendish bananas $2.70/kg, 5 big China apples $3.95.

Fairprice Finest is a bit upmarket on some items. Singapore imports the majority of food since it's essentially a city with no farmland - one of the few things you might see as local produce would be eggs. :) Singapore invested quite a bit on food processing so we have factories making sauces and frozen meals with local flavours. The success of local cuisine has helped push these local sauces / processed foods into an international market (thats why the Singapore branding comes in - it's integrated into the economic plan) Singapore is a bit more health conscious because many of the population are victims of the rich diet afforded to a developed economy. Gold Kili is a common brand of bagged coffee. Roasted local style too. For small bottles you might find them in sections dedicated for travel. The Fairprice brand is a local co-op driven by the govenment. It provides discounts for certain basic essentials and is a convenient benchmark for "what a typical product will cost". Finest is a more upmarket group of shops (e.g. a wider selection of Organic stuff, having more imported things), but they also have the essentials.

I supposed you went to Cold Storage which is an 'expat' supermarket. If you shop at a 'commoner' supermarket such as NTUC or Sheng Shiong, you'll find the prices lower. Places where you can just buy two stalks of celery or one piece of red chilli are the wet market. P.S. Singaporeans who're watching this video and reading my comment, come attend an EL lesson : Standard of living （生活水準）refers to how well you live while cost of living （生活指数）is how much you need to live. Therefore, stop saying, "The standard of living in Singapore is very high so we have to work very hard", but "I can't save much because the cost of living in Singapore is getting higher and higher". If you earn SGD$3000 and live in Vietnam, you'll enjoy a high standard of living because the cost of living there is lower than that of Singapore.

I know you’re only passing through Singapore so no need to go too in depth, but just wanted to share that the supermarket you chose (Fairprice Finest) is in my opinion one of the most balanced in the world in terms of product selection. A lot of people think it’s more expensive, but the basics (non organic veg, milk, eggs, meat) are actually priced about the same as in the standard Fairprice supermarkets. YET they also stock international products from the west, other parts of Asia, fancier options for snacks, etc which are more expensive, but they’re there if you need! You were wondering if they have fresh bread… they do!! You can see in the background at 0:40 under Baker&Cook and Swissbake. Sourdough, multigrain, all the good stuff.

In my estimation, to live in Singapore comfortably, you need to make at least $300,000 a year without a car, and $400,000 with a car. In other countries, like Canada, you will have everything if you make only $100,000 a year.

Pasteurised eggs are more expensive than the room temperature eggs at the bread aisle if you noticed. Locals usually buy the eggs from the room temperature section or from wet markets. Oh ya the eggs are from Singapore farms but Singaporeans consume a lot of eggs so we also import from Malaysia and recently our government has diversified our food source by getting from various countries. A strategy to avoid being over reliant from a country. Always have a plan B or C in times of emergency.
