Besides dining out, most of us also cook at home to sharpen our cooking skills and save some money while we’re at it. As Singaporeans, we love a great lobang as much as the next person, especially when grocery shopping. But that all depends on which supermarket you go to.
To help with your shopping conundrum, we’ve rounded up an exhaustive list of supermarkets and grocery stores in Singapore and the best things you can buy at each.

NTUC FairPrice is recognised as one of the biggest supermarket chains in Singapore with over 100 locations. The retailer also has several types of stores, such as FairPrice Finest and FairPrice Xtra, to cater to different needs.
NTUC FairPrice is well-known for being a reliable choice for your basic necessities, as they carry a wide range of daily food and household supplies. Meanwhile, FairPrice Xtra is more like an extension of NTUC FairPrice but with a wider variety of products, including electronics and clothing apparel.
As the name suggests, FairPrice Finest is the more atas, premium branch that carries a larger selection of imported products. However, FairPrice Finest in Clarke Quay also carries a large selection of fresh produce from Singaporean farmers in support of local businesses.
Besides NTUC FairPrice, other major supermarket chains include Sheng Siong and Giant & Giant Hypermarket, which offer affordable prices and a wide range of products. You can also consider CS Fresh by Cold Storage for ready-made meals on days when you’re too busy or tired to cook.
Alternatively, if you’d like to ensure that your groceries are fresh and organic, Little Farms and Ryan’s Grocery carry a vast selection of Australian-imported vegetables, fruits, and organic meats.
For Muslim shoppers, there’s also a wide range of Halal supermarkets and grocery stores in Singapore to check out, such as SuzyAmeer, Toko Warisan, Melvados, Zach Butchery, and The Meatery.
Not all supermarkets and grocery stores in Singapore accept CDC and SG60 vouchers. Here are the supermarket chains that do:

Let’s start off with Singapore’s major supermarkets, where you can find almost any basic product you’ll need in your pantry. They also have outlets all around Singapore, so you don’t have to travel far, no matter which neighbourhood you’re from.
NTUC FairPrice has been serving our grocery needs since 1973. Today, it’s the biggest supermarket chain in Singapore, and you’ll easily find at least one outlet in every neighbourhood. This is your go-to for basics you’d need in any household – fruits, veggies, poultry, seafood, meat, kitchenware, party goods, and toiletries. Not to mention, some outlets are open 24/7 for even more convenience.
Besides the usual NTUC FairPrice outlets, they also have retail formats such as FairPrice Finest and FairPrice Hub, their retail warehouse located in Joo Koon. For online grocery deliveries, you can also shop on the FairPrice Online website.

TIL that Sheng Siong had its own reality TV show on Channel 8 since 2007 – that’s how you know this supermarket in Singapore is a household name. Most branches are located near HDB blocks, which helps keep their costs low, resulting in lower prices for shoppers.
On top of already lowered prices, seniors aged 60 and above can get a 4% discount if they shop on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. All they have to do is flash their NRIC, Pioneer Generation Card, or Merdeka Generation Card for proof to get the discount; however, this applies to a maximum of $200 spent on a single receipt.
If you shop through the Sheng Siong online website, you’ll get free delivery for orders above $100.
View the full list of Sheng Siong outlets.
CS Fresh is a step up from your typical Cold Storage. Aside from the basic groceries, shoppers can find more bougie brands imported from overseas. Besides fresh produce and household essentials, those who are too tired to cook can just grab one of their ready-to-eat meals. They’ve got a variety of options to choose from, like sushi, roast pork, and even salad bowls.
If you’re shopping online, you’ll get free delivery with a $80 minimum spend.

The regular Giant outlets are already massive, but Giant Hypermarkets are even bigger. Apart from groceries, these hypermarkets in Singapore also sell furniture, electronics, and clothes – it really is a one-stop shop for anything you need at home.
This budget-friendly sister brand of Cold Storage even has a Lower Prices That Last campaign that ensures they offer everyday essentials at low prices. That way, shoppers don’t have to feel pressured to stock up when there’s a good deal and can buy only what they need.
If that’s not enough of a bargain, Singaporean and PR seniors aged 60 and above get a 4% discount every Tuesday, no minimum spend required.

One step up from your nostalgic mama shops, these heartland marts and supermarkets are affordable and accessible.
Prime started as a mini-mart and is now a supermarket chain with 28 outlets across Singapore, with many in newer residential areas – think Bidadari, Sumang, and even 1 in NTU. While the range of products they offer may not be as wide as the bigger supermarket chains, their fresh produce is competitively priced.
The lower prices are attributed to lower rental costs in the heartlands and the fact that their fresh produce is sourced locally. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find your favourite imported goods here. They still have fruits, veggies, and various products flown in from other regions.

Contrary to what its name may suggest, you’ll find a variety of local and Malaysian brands at Ang Mo Supermarket. These are brands you might not come across at the big supermarket chains, plus they’re competitively priced against other imported brands.
This supermarket in Singapore is sticking to its heartland roots: while other bigger chains have invested more into e-commerce, Ang Mo Supermarket has chosen to remain analogue. They don’t even have a website, which does make it harder to find out more about the products they have. But this does mean that they’re able to sell items at lower prices since they spend less on advertising.

You’ll get the best of both worlds with HAO Mart – mini-marts with groceries and fresh produce to full-on supermarkets in Singapore. HAO Mart outlets are located in heartland areas and look a lot like the typical mama shops. But don’t let their appearance fool you, they’re fully stocked with anything you’ll find at your usual supermarkets – fresh fruit and vegetables, condiments, baking needs, and snacks.

Besides HAO Mart, the brand has also expanded with Eccellente, which has more atas supermarkets located in malls like Marina Square and Esplanade Xchange. Muslim shoppers can also check out the HAO Halal Hub outlets offering all-halal products – something the other big chains don’t have.

It can be hard to find the time and energy to shop for groceries, especially if you’re working from the office. All outlets by U Stars Supermarket, except for the one at Rangoon Road, are open 24 hours every day, giving shoppers the flexibility to shop at any time. Grocery runs at night are a vibe, anyway – there are fewer people and you’ll have more time to check out the deals they’ve got.
Speaking of deals, the supermarket often posts flash deals on its Instagram account. Check them out before heading down if you’re looking to get a specific item. The promotions typically run for 3 to 5 days – so you have time to snatch them, even if it’s in the wee hours of the morning.

uMart is a newcomer in the mini-mart scene in Singapore, with only 4 outlets opened so far. While you won’t be able to find fresh produce here, they’ve still got some essentials like condiments, canned food, snacks, breakfast spreads, and crackers.

What’s even better is that the prices of goods you see online are exactly the same as in the store. Feel free to use their online catalogue as a reference before heading down to buy something from the physical outlets.
Those looking to stock up on drinks for their next house party can head to I-Tec Supermart. You’ll be able to get bottled and packet drinks at bulk discounted prices.

Most Singaporeans will remember Econ Minimart, an iconic minimart chain in the 90s. Well, the brand has since undergone a major transformation and is now called New Econ Minimart, with 20 updated minimarts in the heartlands.
Some of the physical changes include a wider variety of items like fresh produce, milk, and frozen foods – compared to usual minimarts that only sell non-perishables. Unlike most heartland minimarts, they also accept cashless payments like NETS.
