The enhanced discounts will be available for Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) Blue and Orange cardholders until Jan 1, 2027.
CHAS Blue cardholders can enjoy the six per cent discount every Thursday, while CHAS Orange cardholders can do so every Friday.
The initiative, which will run till Jan 1, 2027, is being introduced to help cushion household budgets against rising daily expenses and provide sustained savings for eligible shoppers.
The discount applies to up to $200 in spending per customer per day and is valid across all FairPrice stores, Unity pharmacies and FairPrice Online.
Shoppers who opt for online deliveries can also get a $3.99 service fee waiver with a minimum spend of $100 on their respective discount days, said FPG.
The discounts can be used together with CDC vouchers and existing store promotions.
Eligible shoppers can verify their details via the FPG App to automatically apply for the discounts online and in stores.
More than $10 million in savings has already been provided to CHAS Blue and Orange cardholders this year, said FPG, before the enhanced discounts take effect.
The initiative is supported by the group's philanthropic arm FairPrice Foundation (FPF).
Vipul Chawla, FPG's group CEO, said that doubling the discounts reflects the group's continued commitment to providing sustained support and helping eligible households save more on everyday needs.
"By making these savings available both in-store and online, we hope to deliver meaningful value where it matters and make every day a little better for the communities we serve," he said.
NTUC Secretary-General Ng Chee Meng said the enhanced discount will translate into meaningful savings over time, particularly for lower-income households.
"We will continue working with our partners to extend practical support that makes a real difference, and to help workers and Singaporeans stretch their dollar further where it matters most," he added.
Other affordability initiatives introduced by the group this year include a $6 National Day Return Voucher, an expanded price freeze on daily essentials and earlier rounds of enhanced CHAS cardholder support.
