Is There a Costco in Singapore in 2026, and Where Can I Buy in Bulk?
Is there a Costco in Singapore in 2026? No. Where to buy groceries in bulk instead, which online grocery stores keep delivery fees low, how Giant online compares with FairPrice Online, where to buy Korean groceries online, and why going through ShopBack Singapore before you pay lowers the effective price.
No, there is no Costco in Singapore in 2026: according to Wikipedia at the time of writing, Costco's warehouses are spread across 14 countries, and Singapore is not one of them. To buy in bulk in Singapore, use FairPrice Online and its hypermarkets, Giant hypermarkets, or marketplace grocery stores such as Shopee Supermarket and Lazada. The other discount on the same order is Cashback through ShopBack: it works like a discount code, but there's no code to find or type in, the current Cashback is shown on the FairPrice Online page on ShopBack before you buy, and it doesn't use up your one promo code. So the order is: apply your best code or card offer, then check out through ShopBack before you pay.
New to ShopBack? ShopBack Singapore is a free app and website that gives you money back on orders when you start your shopping from ShopBack before you pay. FairPrice Online, Shopee Supermarket and Lazada are all stores you can shop this way. Join ShopBack Singapore for free, then open the store's page on ShopBack before your next grocery order.
Costco Singapore: is there one?
There is no Costco warehouse in Singapore. According to Wikipedia at the time of writing, Costco's warehouses serve the United States, Canada and Mexico in North America, and Australia, China, France, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the United Kingdom elsewhere. The nearest ones to Singapore are in those Asia-Pacific markets, so for most households a trip just to shop at Costco is not practical.
Costco is a membership warehouse club: members pay a yearly fee and buy large packs at warehouse prices. In Singapore, you can get much of the same effect by buying large packs and multipacks from local supermarkets, hypermarkets and online grocery stores, without a membership fee.
Where can I buy in bulk in Singapore instead?
The main bulk-buying options in Singapore are FairPrice, Giant, and marketplace grocery stores such as Shopee Supermarket and Lazada. Other grocery names Singapore shoppers use include Sheng Siong, RedMart and Cold Storage, so the category is wide.
- FairPrice Online and FairPrice hypermarkets. FairPrice's online store carries cartons, family packs and multibuy offers, and its larger stores carry more bulk sizes. Start from the FairPrice Online page on ShopBack.
- Giant hypermarkets. According to Giant Singapore, it runs hypermarkets including Tampines and IMM, and it promotes a "Lower Prices That Last" range. Giant also sells online through foodpanda.
- Shopee Supermarket. Shopee's grocery section lists household staples, drinks and pantry items, often in bundles and cartons. Start from the Shopee Supermarket page on ShopBack.
- Lazada. Brand stores and sellers on Lazada list grocery multipacks and imported products. Open the Lazada page on ShopBack before you add items to your cart.
- Warehouse sales. Brands and distributors run occasional warehouse sales; see our guide to whether warehouse sales in Singapore are worth it.
Costco Singapore best deals in 2026: how to buy in bulk well
The best bulk deals in Singapore in 2026 come from comparing unit prices, buying large packs when they are on promotion, and going through ShopBack before you pay. Practical rules:
- Compare the unit price. Look at the price per 100g, per litre or per roll. A bigger pack is not always cheaper per unit.
- Buy what you will use. Bulk only saves money if you finish it before it expires, and if it fits in an HDB storeroom or kitchen.
- Split with family or neighbours. Sharing a carton of drinks or a big pack of rice can make bulk worthwhile for smaller households.
- Hit the free delivery threshold. Heavy items such as rice, water and detergent are where delivery saves you a trip, so plan one larger order instead of several small ones.
- Go through ShopBack before you pay. Going through ShopBack gets you a cash rebate on the same order, at the same store.
Which online grocery store in Singapore has the lowest delivery fee?
There is no single cheapest online grocery store for delivery in Singapore, because the fee depends on your basket size, slot and membership. Here is what to know about the main options at the time of writing:
- FairPrice Online. According to FairPrice, new online customers can get S$10 off their first online order, and FairPrice Online offers free delivery with a minimum spend of S$59. FairPrice also promotes a paid Digital Club membership with benefits including free delivery, a waiver of the service fee and 2X Linkpoints, subject to its terms.
- Shopee Supermarket. Shopee shows the shipping fee at checkout, and Shopee usually runs free-shipping vouchers with a minimum spend. Check the voucher terms and the final total.
- Giant on foodpanda. Giant's online orders go through foodpanda, so foodpanda's delivery and service fees apply, shown before you pay.
The lowest fee is usually the one you avoid entirely by meeting the store's free-delivery minimum with things you would buy anyway.
Online grocery Singapore 2026: FairPrice Online vs Shopee Supermarket
For online groceries in Singapore, FairPrice Online suits a full weekly shop from one supermarket, while Shopee Supermarket suits stocking up on packaged staples and bundles. Compare the same items and the total after fees, then compare again after ShopBack's money back.
| What to check | FairPrice Online | Shopee Supermarket | Lazada |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | A full weekly shop, fresh and chilled items | Packaged staples, drinks, bundles | Imported and specialty items, multipacks |
| Delivery (at the time of writing) | Free with a minimum spend of S$59, according to FairPrice | Shipping fee at checkout, vouchers often available | Depends on the seller |
| Rewards from the store | Linkpoints | Shopee's own vouchers | Lazada's own vouchers |
| How to start | FairPrice Online on ShopBack | Shopee Supermarket on ShopBack | Lazada on ShopBack |
Illustrative example: when the dearer basket works out cheaper
This is a labelled illustrative example only, not a real offer. Say the same bulk basket costs S$120 at Store A and S$118 at Store B, both with free delivery. If the money back through ShopBack is larger at Store A, Store A can work out cheaper even though it looks S$2 dearer at checkout, so compare the price after ShopBack, not the sticker price. The current Cashback is shown on each store's ShopBack page.
Online grocery Singapore best deals in 2026
The best online grocery deals in Singapore in 2026 usually come from first-order offers, the store's weekly promotions, meeting the free-delivery minimum, and going through ShopBack before you pay. A simple routine:
- Make your list and check the store's weekly promotions.
- Compare unit prices for the big items across two stores.
- Open the store from its ShopBack Singapore page, where the current Cashback is shown.
- Finish the order.
Is Giant online cheaper than FairPrice Online?
Neither Giant nor FairPrice Online is cheaper on every item, so the honest answer is that it depends on your basket. According to Giant Singapore, Giant now sells online through foodpanda and promotes a "Lower Prices That Last" range, while FairPrice Online sells from its own site with free delivery above S$59 at the time of writing, according to FairPrice.
How to compare fairly:
- Same items, same pack sizes. Price 10 to 15 items you buy every week at both, using the same brands and sizes.
- Add every fee. Include delivery, service fees and any small-order fee shown at checkout.
- Count promotions you will actually use. A multibuy deal only helps if you want that many.
- Count rewards and money back. Linkpoints at FairPrice and Giant's yuu Rewards Club are the stores' own rewards, and going through ShopBack before you pay lowers the effective price where the store is on ShopBack.
Giant supermarket online best deals in 2026
To get the best deals at Giant online in 2026, check the promotions on the Giant Singapore site, then place the order on foodpanda and compare the total after fees. Giant's site lists weekly and seasonal promotions, plus its yuu Rewards Club for earning points. Because Giant's online orders go through foodpanda, foodpanda's own vouchers and fees also affect the final price, so check the checkout screen before you pay.
Where can I buy Korean groceries online in Singapore?
For Korean groceries online in Singapore, Shopee Supermarket and Lazada are the easiest places to start, because many sellers list Korean staples such as ramyeon, gochujang, kimchi, snacks and drinks. Supermarket sites, including FairPrice Online, also stock some Korean brands, which helps if you want them in the same order as your weekly shop.
Tips for buying Korean groceries online:
- Search in English and by brand. Try the dish name, the ingredient and the brand name, since sellers tag listings differently.
- Check expiry dates and shipping origin. Items shipped from overseas take longer and may have shorter remaining shelf life.
- Be careful with chilled items. Kimchi and fresh rice cakes need cold delivery, so check how the seller ships them.
- Buy multipacks of what you use often. Ramyeon and sauces are usually cheaper per unit in bundles.
Korean supermarket Singapore: Shopee Supermarket vs Lazada
Shopee Supermarket and Lazada both work well for Korean groceries, so compare the same item, the seller rating and the total with shipping. On Lazada, open the Lazada page on ShopBack before you pay. On Shopee Supermarket, start from the Shopee Supermarket page on ShopBack.
Why ShopBack is a step before you buy groceries online
Step 1: compare prices. Step 2: look for a promo code. Step 3: go through ShopBack. Step 4: pay with your best rewards card. Going through ShopBack gets you a cash rebate on the same order, at the same store: open the store's page on ShopBack Singapore, tap through, and finish the order.
Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.
Paying with a rewards card for groceries
You can usually earn Cashback and your DBS, UOB or OCBC card rewards on the same grocery order, because they come from different places. Some cards give higher rewards at supermarkets or for online spend.
