I love Carrefour because of the affordable, yet good quality products they sell. It's probably the Megamart with the lowest prices around!
:) I especially like the ham and sushi they sell. Like most things in Carrefour, they are cheap and good.
I also like the store's very own brand. Most of the products here comes from Europe and are of great quality.
Alot of sampling counters are there too. So you get to try many things, especially things like frozen fillets, and buns, etc.
It's a really good place to do your grocery shopping once a week.
HAve fun!!

I visit Carrefour more for the special deals they have at the end of the day, before closing shop. Always like their picnic ham, as it is quite cheap at 60 odd cents. But no longer patron them for that, as it is not healthy in the first place.
I like their Sushi corner, for the cooked eels they sell. Also love it during after 9pm when they start to slash the prices for the sushi.
Their Honey chickens are nice. There was once I went there at the last hour, and the staff gave another chicken FOC.
I like the luggage section. Wide variety of choices.
Also like the staff at the electrical appliances section. Quite friendly and helpful.
As compared to Giant, Carrefour is a better place to visit.

Carrefour has to be one of the better supermarkets around if not the best. Its main competitors will be home grown NTUC Fairprice and Giant which have slowly caught up to the fact that big supermarkets with huge selections are more or less the craze nowadays.
Catering to the audience that no longer finds small supermarkets sufficient, Carrefour attempts to be an all in one department store with everything thrown in for good measure. Spanning 2 levels of Suntec, Carrefour provides everything from computers, to electronics, televsions, washing machines, food, wines, clothes and even cutting tools.
The brands and selection there is also excellent, having many that will be hard pressed to find in places outside of Carrefour.
Apart from that, the Japanese food selection there is mind boggling and fresh which more or less satisfies many people's hunger for the coveted culinary experience.
Above a certain limit of purchases, Carrefour also provides delivery services and from what i've heard from my relatives, their service thus far has been impeccable with only minor hitches here and there.
All in all, i'd say Carrefour is an excellent place to shop to find that elusive ingredient or wine.
The downside will be the premium prices they charge for most of their items so weigh your choices properly before committing.

Carrefour is unarguably the best supermarket in Singapore. Its house brand boasts of high quality foods at rock-bottom prices. Its Big Saver products, unlike those from NTUC/Shop n Save/Sheng Siong, are truly big savers.
I reccomend the chocolate muesli ($4-5, depending on promotional offers), orbs of chocolate-scented muesli with generous bits of quality dark chocolate. Its healthy rabbit food disguised (and tastes like) junk (: Their "1" brand cookies, $2.50 for a box of buttery, chocolate fudge cookies are also delish. Breakfast bars are also available at around $1.80-2 for a box of 6 bars.
At the risk of sounding auntie, they have awesome offers on fruit, 4 thick wedges of v sweet honeydew at $1.50 is just about as cheap as you can get. I once purchased a quarter watermelon for $1, and thoughfully peeled papaya was also going at $1.20. The fruit stall also serves very fresh guava which is absolutely scrummy with many generous spoonfuls of the sweet prune powder.
I've heard that their apple pies are good, priced normally at $9.90 but prices can (and will) drop to $5.90 during promotions.
And being very uniquely Singaporean, the many sample stations littered around the supermarket are definitely a draw. On a weekday, one can expect samples such as grapes, sausages, nuggets/sotong ball, deli bread.
Carrefour typically has very good sales on Mondays and Tuesdays, check Today for details.

The first time Carrefour opened in Singapore, there was a commotion between my family members regarding its pronounciation.. Care-four ? car-fooh ? well.. no conclusion as yet.
But in all seriousness, Carrefour prides itself as the supreme supermarket with humble price tags. From electronic goods, to groceries, to clothings, toys, stationeries, and sports equipments.. you name it, they've got it. Its one of those supermarkets where you walk in and have a hard time looking for what you intended to buy in the first place. :)
Carrefour Suntec is the bigger of its sibling outlet in Plaza Singapura. Aside its huge floor space (2 floors i believe !), and the variety of products on shelves, it also hosts some of the most friendliest employees i've seen in a supermarket. (NTUC auntie, eat your heart out !)
The trend in Carrefour as i've recognised lately is that it serves customers as a business partner more than a customer. Have you guys ever noticed a Carrefour advertisement on TV/ radio ? They rely solely on their current customers to market their products to others. (through pamphlets, cheap products that become the talking point at every family outing etc).
All in all, i believe Carrefour is a business that can only succeed in Singapore. The way its going, even GIANT supermarket is trying to emulate its success. Now, given a chance, i'd love to see Carrefour start a few smaller branches in neighbourhood shopping malls.
Its one of the places to visit if you're in Suntec City Mall, and you could be guaranteed to find something and go "its cheaper here", OR "what?! MADE IN CHINA ?!" ...
To each, his own opinion. :)

I love to go to Carrefour because it has anything & everything! Despite it being a hypermart, all its things are neatly arranged and organised which makes it really an ease to look for things I want.
I was with my friend looking around for luggage that day and we were really lucky to meet a friendly and helpful salesperson. She assisted us in picking a suitable luggage and offered advices which really helped us in making our decision on the luggage to buy.
The only complaint that I have is their super long queue at the payment counters. Probably things can be sped up a little faster if they have 2 persons at the counter, 1 cashier & 1 packer.
Other than that, I really love shopping here! :)

I wonderful place to go to where they give assurance on their price (cheapest in town if not money back) A wonderful place for parents to get groceries after work or during lunch time. They also have a good range of products and they just renovate the store.... do check it out.....
