Supermarkets roll out promotion deals for those spending CDC vouchers
Major supermarkets are introducing promotions for the use of the latest $500 CDC vouchers launched on May 13.
FairPrice Group (FPG) will give a $6 return voucher for every $60 worth of CDC supermarket vouchers spent in a single transaction at any FairPrice store from May 13 to 19.
No minimum spending amount is required for customers to use their $6 return vouchers. Customers can also use multiple return vouchers in a single transaction. The return vouchers will be valid for use from the day after they are issued, until June 15.
The latest and seventh tranche of CDC vouchers was launched by Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong at Nee Soon South Community Club.
PM Wong had announced during his Budget 2025 statement on Feb 18 that all Singaporean households would receive an additional $800 in CDC vouchers in two tranches: $500 in May 2025 and $300 in January 2026.
The vouchers are split equally between spending at participating supermarkets and at participating heartland hawker stalls and merchants.
They expire on Dec 31, 2025.
FPG chief executive Vipul Chawla said: "Singaporeans have shown incredible strength and spirit in the last few months of global uncertainty, and as the nation's largest retailer, we want to recognise the hard work they put in every day to lead more fulfilling lives.
"This third wave of FairPrice return vouchers is our way of helping to make every day a little better for all in Singapore, by keeping daily essentials within reach."
Customers at Giant, Cold Storage, CS Fresh and Jasons Deli will also get a $6 return voucher when they spend a minimum of $60 with their CDC vouchers in a single receipt from May 13 to 19. The return voucher may be redeemed only from a day after the date of issue till May 27, with no minimum spend.
Sheng Siong will be giving out special discounts of up to 50 per cent on selected products, including eggs and rice, when customers spend $50 in a single receipt using CDC vouchers, from May 13 till June 11.
