Less people, which I like
High SES people. Heartlands got sheng shiong and Ntuc FairPrice to cater to them.
Some of their items when on offer can be cheaper than at FairPrice.
The salad vegetables are fresher.
Because their stuffs mostly from Europe, USA etc. Is like this.

This is why some stuffs sold in NTUC, SengSong, Giant you cannot find.

Cold storage is Ang mo fav supermarket,

japanese also .
The prices are higher because the products sold at Cold Storage are catered for a different category of people. If priced too low, these clients will not buy..... Big Grin

No lah, most of the stuffs there are the same as what you get from NTUC just that prices are 10-15% higher..

Want to buy Angmoh Brands buy from Marks & Spencer and Jason’s. Want to buy Japanese stuffs can go Don Don Donki, Meiji-ya and Isetan supermarkets for the authentic Japanese products, why must buy from Coldstorage? Huh
Talking about Isetan, have been buying natto from there. Recently the price dropped from $3.00 to $2.90 and the last time I went there dropped further to $2.80. Wonder if that was because the yen weakened a lot against SGD.
Cold Storage is a rojak place, you can find many FairPrice stuff, some Donki & Meidiya stuff, angmoh stuff, quite an interesting rojak place.

Bigger price difference between Isetan n Fairprice for another sauce.

$4.80 - https://www.isetan.com.sg/kikkoman-teriy...39813.html

$5.10 - https://www.fairprice.com.sg/product/kik...g-10077298

Shop at Isetan supermarket once in a while and noticed that for products I bought that are imported from Japan, the prices have remained the same or dropped a little. Therefore have started shopping there more often since the Isetan card gives a 3% discount on top of the stable prices.
Cold Storage, Marketplace, Jasons, Giant, 7-Eleven, Guardian
