Lunar 7th Month comes with altars spilling over with food offerings and the wafting smell of incense smoke in the air. Maybe you’ll hear crooning tunes from a nearby getai or even see people hurrying by with a stash of kimzua (paper offerings). No doubt that there are plenty of traditions surrounding the Hungry Ghost Festival, but the most important one of all? Paying respect to your ancestors.
From now till 12 September 2018, FairPrice On is offering specially-curated food and prayer packages with free delivery to help you prepare for the Hungry Ghost Festival.
Ingredients like salt, sugar, and cooking oil are what everyone takes for granted – they’re the bread and butter of every meal. While preparations for 7th Month may be time-consuming in gathering these basic ingredients, FairPrice On has made it hassle-free with their thoughtful food bundles.
Bundles come with products from different aisles, including Rice Vermicelli, Roasted Groundnuts, and Canned Whole Mushrooms.
A solid option is the Online Exclusive Package ($25.80) since it comes with free packing of items into a storage container – no more spilled sauces or torn bag of rice! Also, all products can be used to enjoy a home-cooked meal with your family.

The Prosperous Package ($18.80) comes with an array of food products, including a red bucket.
There’s also a variety of packages, ranging from value-for-money packages to those suitable for all your needs: Fortune Package ($13.80), Prosperous Package ($18.80), Blessings Package ($28.80), and Auspicious Package ($48.80). You can expect a spread of popular products like Cream Crackers, Sardine in Tomato Sauce, Mixed Nuts, and Traditional Kopi O Sachets. Some packages even come with their own market trolleys.
Purchasing the Prosperous Package in a set of 3 through FairPrice On will get you a $5 return promo code.
On both sides of the budget spectrum, FairPrice On’s Prayer Packages come with paper money and kimzua to be used as burnt offerings – for spirits in the netherworld. You’ve got multiple options, ranging from the Bronze Prayer Package ($6.80) to the Gold Prayer Package ($42.80) – the latter comes with a larger quantity of joss paper, incense, and paper offerings.
This 7th month, there’s no need to spend hours buying a variety of things from different places since FairPrice has got it all. If you shop with FairPrice On, your order’s valid for free delivery*, meaning you wouldn’t have to dread the bulkiness of a sack of rice or the weight of a 6-pack beer.
