Which is the cheapest supermarket in Qatar?


With a family of five, we spend a lot of time and money at supermarkets and buying groceries. As such, we shop around to find the best deals that we can. In today's article we provide a brief summary of which supermarket is the cheapest, and where we buy our groceries from.

The main supermarkets in Doha are:
Carre Four
Lulu Hypermarket
Family Food Centre
Dasman Centre


In terms of price, Carre Four seems to be the most expensive; FFC and Dasman are around the same with Lulu Hypermarket being the cheapest. In our experience Lulu Hypermarket also has the greatest range.


For us though, we like to eat a lot of natural foods so we go to the Wholesale Markets once a week. For 10 QAR you can buy a box of capacium, potatoes, cucumbers, onions etc. For the items you use less, you can buy them from the retail side of the market at still very good prices.

If you share the wholesale products with other families you can see huge discounts as well.
Over the next few weeks we are going to set up a page/site that has a comparision of prices on selected products between all the major supermarkets.

Cheers
