I mean c’mon, nobody is cheaper than Mustafa! And to say otherwise to any member of Team Mustafa is like going into a bar full of Man United fans and saying some… rather unkind words about the club.
However, I was very curious about whether Mustafa really was cheaper than NTUC FairPrice. So I took a trip and compared items carried by both retailers just to see if the legend of Mustafa’s overwhelming cheapness is indeed true.
What I found out from my little trip was surprising!

Final Note: Turns out, NTUC FairPrice puts up a pretty good fight against Mustafa when it comes to prices on food and household items. But if I had to declare a “winner,” I’d mark it as a draw based on what I saw on my shopping trip.

Fuck you Soham Banerjee, how many outlets does Mustafa Centre have? How many of us would want to go all the way to Syed Alwi Road to buy groceries? And on top of that, squeeze with the whole lot of your kind there.

 

[winnipegjets]

Mustafa is a cheap CONVENIENCE store; it is open 24 hours. So, some stuff have to be priced higher to cover the additional cost of not ever closing.

one very very important factor not to shop in mustafa is the location and the kind of fuckers that shop there and man the store. In fact the sole most important factor.
