With rising living costs impacting everything from groceries to dining out, it’s becoming more important than ever to find smart ways to save. Food, being one of the biggest monthly expenses for many Singaporeans, is at the center of this squeeze. Thankfully, GrabFood is stepping up with a range of cost-saving features designed to help you enjoy your favourite meals without breaking the bank.
Here are five clever GrabFood features that can help you maximise your savings while keeping mealtimes delicious and convenient.
1. Plan Ahead with Saver Delivery
One of the simplest ways to cut down on delivery costs is to choose the Saver Delivery option. By agreeing to a slightly longer delivery window, you can enjoy reduced fees while still receiving your food fresh and on time.
This is made possible by Grab’s smart system known as hyper-batching. Using AI, Grab groups nearby orders together, assigning them to a single delivery partner. As a result, everyone shares the delivery cost, reducing what each person pays. In just eight months, this system has saved users in Singapore over S$9.4 million in delivery fees — all without sacrificing quality or timing.
It’s a win-win: you save money and delivery partners can complete more orders efficiently.
2. Share the Savings with Group Orders
Social meals are back, and GrabFood’s Group Order feature makes shared ordering both easy and affordable. Whether you’re planning a bubble tea run with friends or ordering lunch with colleagues, you can invite others to join a shared cart using a link or QR code.
Even better, Group Order works with the Mix-and-Match feature, allowing everyone to order from different restaurants located in the same area. When it’s time to settle the bill, the app automatically splits the cost fairly, including delivery fees and tips.
This feature is especially helpful for group cravings that require customisation, like adjusting spice levels or toppings. Plus, meeting the minimum spend becomes a breeze when everyone chips in.
3. Dine-In Deals That Go the Extra Mile
Prefer eating out but don’t want to overspend? GrabFood’s Dine-In feature offers a curated list of restaurant deals and perks to help you explore new dining spots on a budget.
With just a few taps, you can find promotions, buy discounted dine-in vouchers, read reviews, and even book a ride to the restaurant. You might enjoy 30% off a sushi set at Maki-San or get a special festive deal at Soup Restaurant.
These exclusive dine-in offers are crafted in partnership with restaurants to give users value-packed experiences. Interestingly, more than one-third of dine-in users are either first-time GrabFood users or returning after a long break, proving that these deals are drawing in fresh foodies.
4. Subscribe and Save with GrabUnlimited
If you’re a frequent GrabFood user, the GrabUnlimited plan is your ticket to more savings. At just S$5.99 per month, subscribers get access to exclusive offers from over 1,000 partner merchants.
The perks include discounts of up to S$10 on large food orders — perfect for families or group meals. But the benefits go beyond food. You’ll also get 10% off GrabCar Premium rides and up to S$3 off on GrabMart grocery deliveries, giving you more ways to stretch your dollar across everyday needs.
5. Discover Value Meals with One Tap
To make your search for savings even easier, GrabFood has launched a dedicated "Meals Under S$7" page. This hub showcases affordable meal options that won’t strain your budget. You can use filters to search by price, delivery fee, and promotions, helping you find the best deal in seconds.
According to Grab, this focus on affordability is part of its wider mission to make everyday services more accessible to Southeast Asia’s communities. By helping users save while still enjoying convenience and quality, GrabFood continues to build value into everyday life.
With these five features, GrabFood is proving that you don’t have to sacrifice flavour or convenience to stick to your budget. So whether you’re dining solo or feeding a crowd, it’s never been easier to enjoy great meals without overspending.
