FairPrice has confirmed that its daily discount schemes for vulnerable groups will run all the way till 31 December 2026. That’s another two years of steady savings on everyday essentials.
For seniors and lower-income households, this isn’t a small perk. Over time, it adds up — especially for regular grocery shoppers.
Who gets the discount and when?
Here’s a clear breakdown so you don’t need to guess at the cashier.

Why this extension matters for Singapore households
FairPrice says the extension is part of its promise to keep daily essentials affordable — especially for groups most affected by rising living costs.
The CHAS Orange discount, first introduced in October 2024, is particularly notable. It supports households with a gross monthly income per person between S$1,501 and S$2,300.
Honestly speaking, not many retailers offer this kind of targeted, ongoing support.
FairPrice also says it remains the only major retailer in Singapore running such a scheme.
How to enjoy the discount (physical or digital)
Using the discount is straightforward.
Eligible shoppers can:
- Present their physical or digital PG, MG, CHAS or senior card at checkout
- Select the relevant option at self-checkout kiosks
- Link their details once via MyInfo on the FairPrice Group app, then pay directly using the app next time
No need to re-verify every visit.
The discount applies automatically, up to S$200 per transaction per day.
What FairPrice says about the move
FairPrice Group CEO Vipul Chawla highlighted that the festive season — and beyond — can be tough for many families trying to manage daily expenses.
The extension is meant to help vulnerable Singaporeans access essentials more comfortably, not just during holidays, but throughout the year ahead.
For most Singaporeans in these groups, this is practical help — not just talk.
Worth paying attention or not?
If you or your parents qualify, this is easy money saved.
No need to overthink.
It may be a few dollars per trip, but over months and years, it helps stretch the grocery budget further — especially for essentials you’re buying anyway.
