Share your hacks to obtain maximum value for groceries (incl. CNY festive) shopping.

My own hack:

Fairprice - Shop on Wed/Thurs for Pioneer & Merdeka Gen Discount/CHAS (my mum has the card) - 3% discount,
pay with credit cards to meet min. spent/get points (rebates),
accumulate to meet min. spent for promotion/delivery
read Straits Times on Thurs to view items on discounts,
Now can also use CDC vouchers spend $55 get $6 fairprice voucher.

I noticed that the store discounts are not available for Fairprice online / also stock availability - though for heavier products, easier to do delivery.

Sometimes the wet market stalls are cheaper and have fresher products, and some even allow cashless payment

For families with large monthly purchases can consider front load purchase of NTUC vouchers (800 and above) and pay with Citibank Cashback card to earn 8% cashback.
