FairPrice Group (FPG) has announced a price freeze on 100 essential items from 9 April to 31 May 2026, in response to global energy disruptions and supply chain issues. The initiative aims to support Singaporeans during these uncertain times by keeping daily necessities affordable.
The frozen prices cover a range of staples, including rice, oil, eggs, fresh and frozen chicken, and milk. Additionally, FPG will double the discounts for Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) Blue and Orange cardholders from three to six per cent during the same period. This support will be funded by the FairPrice Foundation.
Group CEO Vipul Chawla emphasised the importance of these measures, stating, “Food and groceries make up over 20 per cent of the average household budget; and even more for lower-income families. Through our price freeze and doubled weekly CHAS discounts, we are stepping up to help Singaporean households navigate these uncertain times.”
The initiative is part of FPG’s broader commitment to assist vulnerable communities. Secretary-General of NTUC, Ng Chee Meng, highlighted the social mission, saying, “No worker or family should face rising cost pressures alone.”
In addition to the price freeze, FPG has rolled out several initiatives in 2026, including discounts on housebrand essentials and the distribution of care packs and refreshments during festive seasons. These efforts are part of FPG’s ongoing strategy to alleviate financial pressures on Singaporeans amidst inflation risks.
