Cos it's organic. It's for atas people. Probably sold at Fairprice "Finest"? The normal Fairprice outlets don't usually sell it.

Strictly speaking to be certified organic the  soil/planting medium, fertilisers, water all have to be free from artificial additives [no pesticides, hormones etc.] That is why organic produce costs an arm and a leg. Dis wan no use pesticide ony why cost so much.

Dunt think inflation is only 5.1


RE: Shocking price at NTUC Fairprice - Niubee - 26-09-2022

RE: Shocking price at NTUC Fairprice - Ola - 26-09-2022

Actually, base on the same analogy

PAP diversify the food source, high price, consumers suffer

PAP sign CECA to diversify manpower, high FTs salary, we suffer

VOTE PAP OUT.

With a very strong SGD , NTUC can import cheaply from overseas

So why overcharging customers instead of refunding back the savings?


RE: Shocking price at NTUC Fairprice - Scythian - 26-09-2022

.

Boycott NTUC for one year

Woolworths and Coles were also very expensive, I usually buy fruits and veggies on promotion, no sale no buy.   Buy from Vietnamese markets or stalls are much cheaper. Richmond, Fooscray or Box Hill or Soringwake.

Apparently, from the article pesticide free seems like more atas than organic so confirm expensive.
