Food costs in Qatar vs Dubai

By CheekyB

I was wondering what the everday food costs in Qatar are like compared to Dubai so that I can estimate the difference in weekly living costs.

(I buy import (UK/US) as well as local foods generally).

Any feedback would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Dubai is cheaper for food than Qatar, since Dubai is more competed.. have many shops.. choices for food..

In Qatar, Lulu Hyper is the ever best and economical also..

the only difference is that you have more food choices in Dubai. So you might still be able to save money because you might not be able to find some food items that you normally buy in Dubai.

I won't be saving any money then!!

Hoped it may be a bit cheaper

I like Weight Watchers and other low fat/sugar free products which I can get easily in Dubai but perhaps I'll find less of these types of items in Doha.
