Really nice and informative video cause I am planning a shift to Dubai but was worried what do daily things like groceries cost and you have covered a diverse list of grocery items and given a detail on how something’s r much cheaper than India as well, this was really helpful to me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻have you made one for fuel and travel as well, of course I will go through the video list but if you haven’t please do.
Omg, thank you for this video. I’m moving to Dubai and have been hearing all sort of things. Some people say you need 2000-3000 aed on groceries alone, which to me sounds insane. This video made me feel less stressed, the prices actually seem to be so much lower compared to Canada
Her purchase is for a week. If she gets everything from carrefour probably it would be 500-600 dhs a week, 2000-2500 a month
Thank you very much for this video, I'm moving to Dubai in October, and this is exactly the kind of information I need. Could you please make a video on rent cost and maybe salary expectations?
I expected to be damn expensive in Dubai but it is around normal pricing as here in South Asia.
Super helpful video!❤ i’m moving to Dubai in October now I can search for these spots for groceries when I arrive there , hope we can connect 😊 see ya there
@@nunof01 wish you all the best in your move! Glad this video was helpful ☺️
Cheaper than I thought far cheaper than Canada can you make a video on cost of living in Dubai
prices shock me every time I go shopping!
Thanks Emely, very informative video (suggested by ChatGPT). How long have you been in Dubai? What do you think of living in here? 😄
thats so cool chatGPT brought you here haha been here for a lil over 6 months now and so far Ive been loving it ! ☺ are you from here ?
@@emely.castro No, we're from Hong Kong & Poland. Just visited Dubai during Christmas & New Year and we loved it 😍
@@KrystianandVenus how cool! Im glad you had a chance to visit, its amazing :)
bring Dubai stores and groceries stores to My country of Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
I'll move from the USA to Dubai.
best of luck with your move!
that grocery shopping was for 1 week ?
thank you.
@@erkaniseni4994 yes lasts us 1 week!
😮
Good shopper ❤
Canadian prices could NEVERR 😅
Wild right 😂
is that enough for a month?
no it lasts us about 2 weeks
For cheaper option is viva better carryfour
Viva!
Why the air seems so polluted. You can not go out for a jog there?
sometimes it can get a bit foggy here, but you can job no problem!
Wooow cheaper than South Africa
Wow Banana for 3.77 AED.
*And how can I get my change* from paying the bill let's say 4 AED dirham❓❓❔❔ ?
so cheap right! you can pay with cash and they will give you change (:
@@emely.castro Thank you! I wonder what you mean by ''so cheap'' Do you mean that I'm being stingy ? 🙂😅
@@FashionTime-z8k haha no not at all, I was agreeing that the bananas are a really good price
Thank you!
How do they give you the change when the price is something like 9.40 AED ?
How do they count that and give you the change?
thats actually a good question - I dont usually pay with cash so Im not actually sure about that
there are 25 fils and 50 fils coins (like cents) and if the cashier has that then they'll give you, otherwise they'll tell you they don't have change and you can buy a small lollipop or something to make up for it if you want. But otherwise, and if it's something that neither 25 or 50 fils can be used for, like 5 dirhams and 90 fils, if you're paying by cash you just don't get any change usually. it's just ignored I guess. sometimes cashiers keep small candies at the counter to give in place of change.
@@tee1778 Thanks a lot for your reply!
*_Are there coins smaller than 25 fils_* ❓?❔
Umm this is insane. Why is everything so cheap. At least comparing to Moscow. I live in Moscow and I'm telling you food here, in comparison to this video, is 20-30% more expensive than Dubai. Do you guys have like normal outdoor markets there?
I was shocked too! yes there are other markets here and some groceries stores can be a lot more expensive, but I choose to shop at the ones that are most cost friendly
@emely.castro yes and I also looked at the rent and the rent is twice as high as Moscow in Dubai Dubai, not old Dubai. However payment for work aka salary or whatever is 2 or 3 times higher than Moscow. So it's like, it makes more sense to live in Dubai. I met a Russian guy in Moscow from Moscow who was living in Dubai part time and saved him as "his name" Dubai. And when my friends saw it they were like, yeah right, he is lying to you he doesn't live in Dubai blah blah blah. He doesn't look like he is someone who lives in Dubai. So I went snooping on UA-cam. People have this notion which started I dunno how when or where that if you live in Dubai champagne flows in your veins instead of blood. But clearly it's just a normal place well obviously above normal above Average but financially a normal place.
@@KetzOhsomn I agree that people that this certain perception of what Dubai is like. theres definetly the more luxurious parts for sure, but apart from that theres still places of poverty. just another place like you said! its all perspective
I need good honey quality where can o get
I havent bought honey myself, but they have honey at both Viva and Carrefour - I would try Viva first since its cheaper, and see if you like the quality there. Otherwise go to Carrefour and they have a hugeeee selection there
Her diet is full of ultra processed foods
what a dum way of showing cost of living in Dubai...
great video
@@MrChiptatum thank you!
Why dnt u buy fresh fish?
@@sumidas8076 frozen is cheaper!
