Gardenia bread prices Malaysia vs Sg....why I always buy 2 when I go JB
#1

Yes many things are cheaper in Malaysia.

But bread prices js hard to fathom as  Gardenia factories makes the bread for in Malaysia and Singapore using same raw materials imported.
Is it transport costs? That also does mot make sense as the bread travels from Johor factory to KL is much further than jn Singapore.

Once it hits the Seng Siong or NTUC shelves the price more than triples.

In Malaysia........just  RM$3

Actually rm 3.00 is not cheap to the locals. It's cheap to you because of their weak currency.

And you buy more expensive here due to the costs of doing business are higher

There are cheaper brands bread in SG.

quality wise only a bit lose to Gardenia.

FYI Gardenia , bread price is ALL Standard price.

As people already claim. you feel " cheap " is due to Strong SIN dollars vs riggit.

Because of the high rental costs, the high transport costs and the high operating costs.

Very costly here. To buy a van with high COE is unreachable for small businesses.

Heard freezing bread can reduce the bread glycemic index though due to creation of resistant starch ?

Just came back from Tokyo

In fact, we are 20% to 50% more expensive

PAP should be pushing and proud to be #1

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

If factory has to spend about 1 million or $1,000,000 SGD for 10  pieces of paper call 'entitlement ' just to get the bread delivered to us ultimately we consumers have to pay and absorb the business costs what!
