SINGAPORE - To promote healthier eating, supermarket chain FairPrice is offering shoppers a 2 per cent discount on fruits and vegetables every Wednesday at all of its 143 outlets.
This promotion will last till the end of the year and is estimated to cost FairPrice $360,000 in all.
The supermarket chain said it has been seeing demand for fruits and vegetables rise over the years, with a 10 to 15 per cent increase in sales year on year since 2012.
yeah! fux it! they always like to press my durians
If NTUC really want to promote the eating of more veggies, then sell them at the lowest price seven days a week all year. Not some half ass promotion. Then laments it will cost them x dollars. The hypocrisy. I have not patronised NTUC for years.
no neh neh to press at home must press papaya and mango at ntuc mah.
there’s always an ulterior motive. that’s because wednesday is the slowest day for grocery shopping, and it also coincides with re-stocking of vege and food on the shelves on wednesday night through thursday morning. these are perishables with short shelf lives. might as well get rid of them with a promotion.
Point taken. Still, don't you just hate it when they put it across like they are doing the public a favour?
