The major section of the population in U.A.E consists of Expats who leave their home country to work here for various reasons like better salaries, luxurious living, better lifestyle, or various other reasons. But mostly everyone tries to save some money in order to provide a better living for their family back home. Usually, there are many offers in many places in Dubai like the supermarkets, hypermarkets, electronic stores, fashion boutiques, etc and who can ever forget the king of all deals, that is, Dubai Shopping Festival every year.

But all these offers are not as attractive and worth as they seem. Some of them are just to catch the eye and to promote impulse purchases. Therefore, I decided to help as many people as I can to save money and lead a good lifestyle. I will be providing money saving tips which will help in living the way you always have been living, but with an extra effort of driving to a certain places can help you increase the size of your wallet. The list will keep updating gradually, so do keep checking it in regular intervals.

1) If you’re a regular restaurant diner, try out the Gulf News discount books. They have a wide variety of coupons and most of them offer one main course free with the purchase of another main course. Of course the cheaper one will be counted as free. Some of them also include 20% cash discount on food and beverage, two buffets for the price of one, two starters for the price of one, etc. On an average, you get a saving of AED 50 on the final bill.

2) When going grocery shopping, take a shopping list of necessary items along with you. But do not keep yourself limited to that. For items which are frequently required, you could always buy extra quantity in offer and store it. This way you get save some cash, and as well as save your time for the next purchase. Examples of this could be pasta, detergent, dish washing liquids, soaps, shampoos, rice, cheese, etc. Usually, you will find these items in packs of two or more, with savings of around 10-20%. Usually, people feel why buy 2 when only 1 is required for the week. But if you buy 2, you save money and as well as anyways you were going to buy one more next week.
