Cost of Living in Qatar - Groceries

[@0f-the-land]

Thanks for sharing. There's nothing wrong with those produce bags. They can be repurposed for many other uses.

[@DutchSailingFamily]

You're right, they can be used for other purposes, but just imagine not using the plastic at all!! Much much better

[@0f-the-land]

@@DutchSailingFamily Hey there, thanks again for the video. Over the years manufacturers of all industries have inundated all markets with plastic items. Some have been good, but some unnecessary. Glass bottles for beverages didn't have to go to plastic. But they insisted. Taxing the 'consumer' for plastic bags(and/or eliminating them), is just a way to shift the blame on the 'consumer'. Many of which, had no say so about the overabundance of plastic items in their society.

[@DutchSailingFamily]

@@0f-the-land that might be so. At the same time we all have the choice to use or not use them. Personally I don't like finding them back at the beach or on the street blowing about so try to stay away all together. If we somehow all did the same that would definitely make a difference!

[@0f-the-land]

@@DutchSailingFamily True, we all have a role to play. But bags are mostly blowing through streets because the town/city wont perform proper street cleaning. And the bags at the beach might be what has surfaced from a company/etc. dumping their garbage in the ocean. Because the bags float they come back to shore.

Your tomatoes & yogurt are so inexpensive, I wish! But the oranges are expensive.. everything else is comparable to where I live here in Maryland, USA. Great video!

[@DutchSailingFamily]

At the moment it seems tomato-time :D We do get to choose from local-grown or shipped in. The Dutch tomatoes are at least 25qar per kg! Thanks for your feedback, it's great to see how the prices fluctuate all around the globe.

[@Onechance0071]

Thanks for the information, is not expensive like I expected

[@DutchSailingFamily]

Hi Ella, yes it's a bit more than back home for us, but other things are cheaper, so not bad overall!

[@didovlogs2909]

It is Inclusive and super useful explanation Many thanks

[@DutchSailingFamily]

No tax here in Qatar!

[@dianakinyasi7487]

[@DutchSailingFamily]

Hi Diana, you're welcome, thank you for watching and writing! 😃

[@masekojnr_]

Cost of living here is slightly high coz most of the products are imported. I do spend roughly 500QR on my monthly shopping as a bachelor. At times its high depending on the availability of groceries.

[@DutchSailingFamily]

You are totally right! It varies a lot with all the fresh products.

Great content! Is it true that fuel is cheaper than coffee in Qatar?

[@DutchSailingFamily]

I would say yes! Buy a coffee at a gas station you might pay 10 riyal minimum, for like 200 ml. Fuel is 2 qar per liter! 😃

[@infinitebliss949]

Hartelijk dank voor de informatie. We zullen heel gauw ook verhuizen naar Qatar vanuit Su en fijn om een indicatie te hebben.😊

Aahh wat leuk om te horen dat het een beetje helpt! Heel veel succes met de verhuizing alvast 😃

[@sadyamariyamvid123]

Wowwwwwiweee!!!! This videos will really help for those who want to know about the cost of living in Qatar!! Where do you usually go for shopping??

[@DutchSailingFamily]

Yesss anyone considering to come here to Qatar will hopefully find it useful! We mostly go to Carrefour! How about you??

[@syliva-s3j]

İs there any other markets that have affordable prices ? Please inform us

[@plm2811]

Hi thank you so much for this video can you give us the adresse of local farm

[@ParamariboCloser]

When i compare it to the prices over here, the Diapers, Bread, Milk and Eggs are way of the charts! The rest is pretty much the same. We also import most of the products in the supermarket. But the remarkable thing is that the total costs of your shopping bill is the same as the average wage in Suriname 🇸🇷!! 😳 The purchasing power is very low over here...so we support our locals every time we shop. Maybe because we ourselfs have a local production business also...😉 Thanks again for the video. I am curious about the minimum and average wages in Qatar 🇶🇦 ✌️

[@DutchSailingFamily]

Hi again Paramaribo Closer!!! Wow yes that is really interesting that you give me an insight into how prices are over in Suriname as well. Very nice to know! To me also some of the items are really overpriced. But I think it mainly has to do with them being imported.. like specific vegetables.. Kale for example.. prices go way up. Yess wages would be interesting too, maybe I can do that together with info on getting jobs here in Qatar. Need to do plenty research but it's interesting so I hope to come out with that soon! 👋🏼🎉🤩

[@ParamariboCloser]

@@DutchSailingFamily Good research is key! I agree. Minimum and average wages are very interesting for people from all over the world. From 1k up (if you know what i mean 😉) it’s my plan to do the same. Keep the good videos coming Freggle! Good luck! 🍀 ✌️

[@DutchSailingFamily]

@@ParamariboCloser Yesss I know what you mean =) Thank you for inspiring and motivating so much!! Let's do this! 😃

[@DeniseZanardi]

Mangos are also more expensive here 😅

[@ParamariboCloser]

@@DeniseZanardi yes, i can imagine. Everything you import is at least double the price... over here you can pick them on the side of the road. 😀

[@amitdevate7567]

Where did you go to all these places and how and when did you buy all these things. Where you went and bought all these things??

[@DutchSailingFamily]

Hi Amit! I'll just reply on one of these with the question, Yea it was all bought at Carrefour supermarket and all these things go into the kitchen mainly =) Yep 434 was the total bill for all those things!

[@TheWorldnUs]

That’s a great deal on the broccoli 🥦. We’ve found we don’t eat as much of it since moving here. Can be really expensive! We often go with the frozen broccoli. We really need to get to the local markets.

[@DutchSailingFamily]

It really is.. Lately prices are good for broccoli, must be the season :D

[@kballero79]

Can u make videos on day to day expenses in Qatar like if we want to order food at home from restaurants?? And general miscellaneous expenses also

[@DutchSailingFamily]

Hi! Good idea! Unfortunately I've moved from Qatar so I'll now be making Sailing the World videos.. Enjoy Qatar if you do go!

@@DutchSailingFamily hahahah what kind of question is that

[@selvameenadhandapani5205]

Hi, thank you for your videos. It answers many questions.. I wonder if you could reply me about the query I have. How the kids are coping with the hot weather in school, during play times, P.Ed/Games lessons etc? I understand their school timings are such that they are back in home by the time the weather starts to get really hot. But still it's hot during the time they are in school. I'm curious to know how children are managing. Thanks again.

[@DutchSailingFamily]

Hi there, the schools have big shades over all the outdoor playgrounds. However there are a few weeks in the school year where they are only allowed to play outside in the early morning hours. After that it's indoors in the gym areas. Hope this helps!

Hi Aman K! In the supermarket meat we normally see halal stickers. But it is possible to get a membership with QDC where they sell other meats like pork products and also alcohol.
