If there is one fruit that can instantly divide a room while simultaneously drawing huge crowds across Singapore, it has to be durian. Loved by many for its rich, creamy texture and unmistakable aroma, durian season is often one of the most anticipated times of the year. For bargain hunters and durian enthusiasts alike, there is even more reason to celebrate this season because FairPrice Group has brought back one of its most talked-about seasonal promotions.
The highly anticipated NTUC FairPrice $1.95 Durian Flash Sale is making its return in 2026, offering shoppers the chance to enjoy fresh kampung durians at an exceptionally affordable price. After generating excitement in previous years, this popular promotion is once again expected to attract long queues as customers look forward to getting their hands on quality durians without paying premium prices.
What makes this promotion especially attractive is the simplicity of the deal. Shoppers can purchase kampung durians weighing approximately 600g to 800g for only $1.95 each. In a market where durian prices can fluctuate significantly depending on supply and demand, opportunities like this do not come around very often.
This year, FairPrice has expanded the promotion across three separate weekends, allowing more Singaporeans to participate and increasing the chances of securing these sought-after bargains.
Three Weekends of Durian Savings
Rather than holding the promotion at a single location or for just one weekend, FairPrice has spread the campaign over multiple weekends and outlets.
The promotion will be available on the following dates:
22 – 24 May 2026
FairPrice Bedok North Blk 212
29 – 31 May 2026
FairPrice Kang Kar Mall
5 – 7 June 2026
FairPrice Elias Mall Atrium
The addition of the Elias Mall Atrium location provides another opportunity for shoppers in the eastern region to enjoy the promotion, making it more convenient for families and durian lovers living nearby.
Each participating outlet will begin sales from 9.00am daily, while stocks last.
Why This Promotion Is Worth Visiting
Singaporeans know that durian prices can sometimes become quite expensive, especially during periods when demand exceeds supply or when premium varieties dominate the market. While many consumers enjoy indulging in premium cultivars, there is still strong appreciation for traditional kampung durians.
Kampung durians offer a unique flavour profile that many long-time durian lovers cherish. They often feature a more diverse range of tastes and textures compared to commercially cultivated varieties. Some fruits may be sweeter, others slightly bitter, while certain fruits deliver a delightful combination of both.
At only $1.95 per durian, shoppers have the opportunity to experience authentic kampung durians without stretching their household budgets. It is an excellent chance for families to gather around the dining table, share a few fruits, and enjoy one of Southeast Asia’s most beloved seasonal treats.
For those who have never tried durian before, this promotion also provides a low-risk introduction. Spending less than two dollars on a fresh durian makes it easier for curious first-timers to discover why the fruit has earned its reputation as the “King of Fruits.”
Limited Quantities Mean Early Arrival Is Recommended
As with many flash sales, availability is limited.
Each day’s promotion is restricted to the first 300 customers. Furthermore, customers can purchase a maximum of two durians per person.
These limits help ensure that more shoppers can enjoy the promotion rather than having a small number of buyers purchasing large quantities.
Given the attractive price point, it would not be surprising to see queues forming before the official start time. Those hoping to secure their durians should consider arriving early to avoid disappointment.
Previous FairPrice durian promotions have attracted significant attention, and word of mouth often spreads quickly among bargain hunters. Early birds generally stand the best chance of obtaining the freshest selection before stocks run out.
More Than Just Kampung Durians
While the $1.95 flash sale is undoubtedly the main attraction, FairPrice is also catering to customers seeking premium durian experiences.
Popular premium varieties such as Musang Wang, King of Kings and Red Prawn will be available for purchase at their regular selling prices.
This means shoppers can compare different varieties during the same visit. Families may choose to enjoy affordable kampung durians while also treating themselves to a premium fruit for a special occasion.
Durian enthusiasts often appreciate the opportunity to sample different cultivars side by side. Each variety offers its own distinctive characteristics, ranging from rich buttery flesh and intense bitterness to sweet creamy textures.
Having multiple options available creates a more complete durian shopping experience and allows customers to select fruits that match their personal preferences.
A Great Weekend Activity for Families and Friends
Promotions like this often become more than just shopping trips. For many Singaporeans, durian season is a social occasion.
Friends gather to enjoy fresh durians together. Families purchase several fruits to share after dinner. Some even organise small durian feasts where everyone contributes different varieties for tasting.
The FairPrice Durian Flash Sale presents an affordable excuse to enjoy these simple pleasures.
With the promotion taking place over multiple weekends, shoppers can plan visits around their schedules and potentially combine their trip with grocery shopping, family outings or meals in nearby neighbourhood centres.
The participating locations are situated within residential areas, making them accessible for many households looking to enjoy a casual weekend activity.
Excellent Value During Durian Season
Value remains one of the strongest reasons to visit this promotion.
Finding fresh durians at $1.95 each is becoming increasingly uncommon, especially in Singapore’s retail environment. While premium durian varieties continue to command higher prices due to cultivation costs and strong demand, promotions like this demonstrate FairPrice Group’s commitment to making seasonal favourites accessible to a wider audience.
For budget-conscious households, this promotion allows them to enjoy a seasonal indulgence without overspending.
Whether shoppers are dedicated durian fans or simply looking for a fun food experience, the promotion delivers an attractive combination of affordability, convenience and seasonal enjoyment.
With limited daily quantities available and only three promotional weekends scheduled, interested customers may wish to mark their calendars early.
The return of the FairPrice $1.95 Durian Flash Sale is shaping up to be one of the most exciting fruit promotions of the season. For less than the cost of a cup of coffee, shoppers can enjoy fresh kampung durians and experience one of Singapore’s favourite seasonal traditions.
For anyone who loves durian bargains, this is certainly a promotion worth checking out before stocks disappear.
