Just tell the suppliers to cover up more...
At the same time, what I believe the suppliers will eventually give lesser promotion or disc to Fairprice -
hmm... squeeze suppliers, raise prices, increase margin...

frankly, i don't know what NTUC is up to..
liquid spray-on gel at NTUC = $10.90
provision shop = $7.50
a shop near my office using parallel imports = $5.40 -
Not like FP is very bigOriginally posted by sbst275:+ housebrands that are actually more ex than the normal brands chap huey tiam are selling
You need a large quantity for ppl to want to private pack for you
And they always talk like they are very big
You either compromise on quality or price -

Cos seriously though yes it's cheaper... But dun forget, if chap huey tiam and NTUC get from the same supplier or the cartel -
it isn't fair that NTUC is trying to make profits when it is first and foremost a co-op
life isn't fair.. live with it..
now, i'm going to the shop for my needs...
btw, their shampoo is about $2 to $2.50 cheaper than NTUCOriginally posted by sbst275:It isn't fair...
