        It is common that prices are cheaper if we buy in bulk or bigger packets.
        For rice, I usually buy in packs of 10kg
        I buy 10kg too & fill my rice bin. Only time I bought several 5kg rice was when Sheng Siong had offers for $13/bag of Song He.

          I reward myself with grocery shopping 🙂
          The prob after shopping is I realised I didnt bring my \"bull\" along to carry the goodies home.
          I usually do grocery after lunch & hv all the manpower I need to relieve my burdens. Sunday lunch hv to eat anyway, so some involvement is btw kinda activity & they get to choose what they want (within limits). 😉

            For me, the grocery shopping is always done by my \"bull\" alone. I just write down what I want to buy, then the \"bull\" will go to NTUC to carry these items back home.

              I prefer to go ntuc in Hillion Mall in the early morning to beat the crowd.

              The seafood section which sells prawns, fish is ready around 8am.

                I think price diff for 5 or 10 kg not much for Songhe white rice mayb a dollar only on 5 or 10 kg, coz disc quite frequently for 5kg pack in fair price n SS.
                Yep ,I same as slmkhoo, dun think we eat less , switch to cheaper brand if want to save cost . But eat less food also good , maybe achieve better health index … hahaha

                      Same, same. DH come fr a family that place value on good quality food, other things can be less but things we put into our stomach must not play play type. So, when I had my overseas posting, I shipped SongHe & those movers kinda laughed at me, not u’stand’g why I’ve to go to the extent. Haiz!

                        When times are really hard, they will have to adapt. It just hasn't happened yet.
