Compare the full cost of the groceries you need, including delivery. Start from your chosen retailer's ShopBack Singapore page, then click through and finish your order in the same session.

## Strategic grocery planning

Focus on unit prices rather than total pack prices to identify genuine value at stores like FairPrice. Align your shopping list with a meal plan to reduce food waste and account for all associated costs, including delivery fees or transport expenses.

## Managing food delivery costs

When using platforms like foodpanda, assess the total basket cost including service and delivery charges. Use the app to filter by current promotions or deals, and consider group orders to spread mandatory delivery fees among more people.

Always initiate your shopping session via the ShopBack Singapore merchant page to ensure your order remains eligible for potential Cashback.
