Collins Cheapest Items

The cheapest of the collins cheapest items at the sit-down restaurants is the Signature Grilled Chicken Chop, reported at S$19.55, while the cheapest way to eat Collins cooking at all is at a Common Grill stall, where a Mega Lunch is reported at S$9.90. This guide separates the two, so you don’t mix up restaurant prices with coffee shop prices, and it lists the cheapest sides, drinks and deals that keep a Collins meal affordable.

What’s the cheapest meal at Collins in Singapore?

It depends on which Collins you mean, and that distinction matters. At a full Collins restaurant, the cheapest main is the Signature Grilled Chicken Chop, and a solo diner will still pay service charge and GST on top, so the real floor for a restaurant meal is higher than the menu figure. At Common Grill, the coffee shop concept by Collins, the same kitchen style comes at coffee shop prices with no service charge, and that’s where the genuinely cheap Collins meals live. If your budget is tight, Common Grill is the honest answer, and the restaurant is the treat version.

What are the cheapest mains at Collins?

Among single mains at the restaurants, the chicken chop leads, followed by the Spaghetti Carbonara, reported at S$19.05, and the Chicken and Mushroom Aglio Olio in older listings. The combo deals beat them all on paper: aggregator listings report a Signature Grilled Chicken Chop and Pork Chop combo at S$14.55, a Spaghetti Beef Bolognese with Prime Iberico Pork Sausage at S$14.50, and a Breaded White Fish with Tempura Squid Tentacles at S$15.00. Those combo figures are reported, not confirmed on a current official menu, so check they are still offered at your outlet before you count on them.

The combo deals beat single mains on price

This is the quirk worth knowing: the reported combo deals cost less than the cheapest single main. A chop and pork chop combo at a reported S$14.55 gives you two proteins for less than one chop alone at S$19.55, which only makes sense if combos are a promotion rather than the everyday menu. Treat them as a deal to check, not a guaranteed price, and ask at the counter before you order.

Student meals are the cheapest regular deal

If you carry a student pass, Collins is much cheaper. Reporting puts the student meal at S$8.80 with a free soup or soft drink every day at five Collins restaurants, working out to about S$10.55 after service charge and GST, and Common Grill runs its own S$8.80 student meal at Hillion Mall. Bring the pass, because these deals are not offered without it, and confirm your outlet takes part before you go.

What are the cheapest sides and drinks at Collins?

Sides are where a Collins meal stays cheap, because you can build a light meal from them if you are not very hungry. Mashed Potato is reported at S$5.95, Baked Garlic Baguette at S$6.95, Shoestring Fries at S$7.15, Cheesy Mayo Fries at S$8.75 and Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup at S$9.00. On drinks, an Espresso is reported at S$5.65 and a Long Black at S$6.45, both well below the milky coffees, which run to S$8.30 and more. A soup plus a baguette is a real, if light, lunch for around S$16 before charges, and it’s the cheapest sit-down combination on the menu.

Is Common Grill by Collins cheaper than the restaurants?

Yes, clearly, and it’s not close. Common Grill is Collins coffee shop concept, serving the same style of grilled chicken chop, mixed grills and pasta at hawker-adjacent prices. A Mixed Grill Platter has been reported at S$15, a chicken cutlet at S$9.90 in older reviews, and a Chicken Fungi Aglio Olio at S$8 in older listings. Current reporting puts the Common Grill Mega Lunch at S$9.90 with a free Wild Mushroom Soup on weekdays from 11am to 3pm, and a student meal at S$8.80. There is no service charge at a coffee shop stall, which is a big part of the saving.

How can you keep a Collins meal under twenty dollars?

At a restaurant, you probably can’t, once service charge and GST are added to a S$19.55 chop. The realistic under-twenty route is Common Grill, a student meal if you qualify, or a sides-based lunch at the restaurant. Skip the milky coffees, drink water or a Long Black, share a pizza instead of ordering two mains, and check the combo deals before you order a single main, since the reported combos undercut the cheapest single mains. If none of that works, lunch deals beat dinner prices across the chain, so eat earlier.
