  • DBS/POSB customers in Singapore can get S$3 off eggs and S$3 off rice each Saturday from July 18 to August 29.
  • The offer applies to 129 participating Giant and Sheng Siong supermarkets with no minimum spend.
  • This initiative is part of DBS's S$10 million support measures to help manage cost pressures for Singaporeans.

DBS/POSB cardholders in Singapore will receive significant savings on essential groceries for seven Saturdays, starting July 18. Customers can enjoy S$3 off eggs and S$3 off rice at 129 Giant and Sheng Siong supermarkets across the island.

This promotion, running until August 29, requires no minimum spend. It is the initial phase of a broader S$10 million support package announced by DBS in April to alleviate cost-of-living pressures for Singaporeans. The offer is valid on selected house-brand eggs and rice products, with redemptions available on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last.

For many households, weekend grocery shopping is a familiar routine. By offering these savings on Saturdays, we hope to make these grocery trips a little more affordable.

Calvin Ong, Head of Consumer Banking Group at DBS Singapore, expressed hope that these savings would make weekend grocery shopping more affordable for many households. He noted that the offer has been expanded this year to include Sheng Siong supermarkets and has increased redemption quantities threefold to benefit more customers.

In addition to the Saturday discounts, DBS will introduce a S$3 cashback offer through its PayLah! app starting in September. This initiative builds on DBS's ongoing efforts since 2023 to support customers facing rising costs, including previous cashback campaigns for hawker meals and local shops.

This year, weโ€™ve expanded the offer to cover both Sheng Siong and Giant supermarkets, while increasing redemption quantities by more than threefold, so more can enjoy these savings.
