How much you spend on milk powder ?

My little boy drinks Enfagrow milk powder.

I pay RM 100 for Enfa Stage 3 at Johor. He can finish 1 tin (1.7 KG) of milk within 14 days.
He drinks milk four times a day. So, each bottle of milk (240ml) costs RM 1.79 = S$0.71. 

So one day baby milk consumption cost is S$2.85. (still OK la).
One year, baby milk consumption cost is RM 2,607 = S$1,043

If you buy this milk power in Singapore, 1 tin is 1.8 KG instead, selling SGD 80.
Prorated to 1.7KG, it will be S$75.55 = RM 189. So, it is 89% more expensive in Singapore.

It is worth to mention Enfa milk in Singapore is manufactured in Netherlands.
Enfa milk in Malaysia is manufactured in Thailand.


Just recently, they have NEW packaging for the milk powder and I notice that the price starts to inch up.

Usual Price is RM 121.50.

I got the promotion price of RM 115.

It seems like there is a price increment of 15% of what I have purchased previously.

Then, Singapore price (RM189) is about 64% more expensive than Malaysia "only".
