Is food shopping expensive in Singapore?
Expensive is a comparative term. You will find some goods to be more expensive and some will be cheaper. It also depends on where you shop in Singapore. There are plenty of supermarkets offering a range of local, European, American and Australian foods. Most foods, apart from eggs and poultry are imported and this is reflected in the prices. Some new expatriates are shocked at the price of fresh meat for example. Frozen meat however is a cheaper option. The wet markets sell fruit, vegetables, meat and fish and prices are lower than those in the Supermarket. Please see below to give you an idea of a small shopping basket from a supermarket.
