Goodbye NTUC FairPrice, Hello Giant


This is my lunch,nothing much though except the mabo tofu and broccoli. Later in the afternoon, we may be shopping for our groceries at Giant. We are now reluctant to shop at NTUC FairPrice as their policy governing membership and rebates are very misleading.
In May 2016, we were stopped at the entrance of a FairPrice supermart by some sales people from NTUC. They persuaded my wife to become a member of the NTUC FairPrice. They explained that as long as we patronize FairPrice, we will get back the $9 per month subscription fees (deducted from our bank account through GIRO) at the end of each year. Now after 16 months of payment of the $9 monthly, we have yet to receive any refund. When we called them, they told my wife that she was not entitled to the refund of $144 unless she buy some NTUC shares. On that note, my wife told them she would like to resign from the membership. Besides buying from FairPrice at the average of $250 per month of groceries, we had to fork out $144 which was eventually forfeited.
Now you understand why we stopped shopping at FairPrice.
