It is possible to eat quite cheaply depending on where you shop and what you buy. Spinneys is nice, but Carrefour is cheaper, although it doesn't have a pork section. I rarely get to Choitrams as there isn't one near me, but that is also generally cheaper than Spinneys. Take advantage of offers (esp on fruit & vegetables), look at prices (some things are more expensive than UK) , consider seasonality.

My partner & I probably spend around Dhs400-500 on food & household items (not incl booze), but that doesn't include going out which can be anything from Dhs 1,000 to 3,000.


Well we wil have our 11 year old daughter with us, but thats it, to begin with anyway. Hoping my eldest daughter will come and stay permanently with my grandsons after she has been a few times! It ceretainly sound as if we will be able to save for our restaurant we want to open eventually, and petrol is so cheap! We have put 25 in since friday!
