I Spent 1 Million on Groceries in Batam (And I'd Do It Again)

Did I just spend 1 million on groceries? Keep scrolling to to see what happened! 🛒😂

Yes! I visited JC Supermarket at One Batam Mall and I’m absolutely in awe of the variety here. I’m already planning my next trip back just to stock up our clinic pantry. 🙈

The store is massive. We’re talking 65,000 sq ft. Everything is neat, beautifully organised, and easy to navigate, making it far too easy to find what you’re looking for… and what you definitely weren’t planning to buy. 😂

From Indonesian snacks and childhood throwbacks to beauty steals and grocery deals that’ll make you cry happy tears, this place genuinely has it all. 1 million Rupiah is about SGD75 but everything I walked away with? Easily worth SGD300 back home.

The staff are also incredibly helpful and knowledgeable - honestly, such a lovely shopping experience from start to finish. They even offer trolley assistance to help load your purchases into your transport.

If you're heading to Batam anytime soon, do not skip this one.

📍 JC Supermarket, B1 One Batam Mall

Would I go back? I’m already counting down, belles and beaus! ✨
