I lived in Saudi in around 2015 and shopped regularly in carrefour so this was fascinating. Prices have certainly increased a lot. Carrefour has never been cheap but it’s popular with foreigners. Good variety, English speaking staff, clean and organised etc

OMG! I lived in Jeddah in the early 80s, my dad would give me 20 riyals pocket money, id be in a hurry to spend it at the carrefour(if thats the same one!) when we did our weekly food shop! i just had a full nostalgia blast watching this video.

[oljjjjj]

Guys come back to Riyadh! I would love to see you riding the metro and showing us your experience.

Saudi is reasonably priced compared to its neighboring countries but you also have to keep in mind that the wages aren't as high as in Qatar or UAE. Saudi was even less expensive 10 years ago, and beleive it or not, gas price back then was even cheaper than water which made most things cheaper as well.

[swedishpotato]

love these videos, having been born in Jeddah and have spent my childhood there for 12 years before moving to the UK in 2012, I miss it so much, your videos make me feel all nostalgic and reminisce of the life I once had in Saudi

OMG I am watching this from Florida but you picked a product ( turmeric) written in my mother language . It was so amazing !!

To Mandy,
We grow many other than potatoes, tomatoes and carrots.
Major agricultural Cities are Taif, Al-Madina, Al-Qassim, Al-Hassa, Hail, Al-Jouf and Tabok in the last tow cities we grow also Olives and produce an excellent and Luxurious Olive oil.
Also in the south region in Jazan specifically we grow Coffee beans and many others.
of course not to forget the Saudi Dates. 😉 Have a good time in Saudi Arabia.

Colour me odd, but I love these supermarkets' cost comparisons for food products.
My initial reaction is that costs are not that expensive, especially the beard dyes 😂
But, as we all know, locally produced, and most often consumed by locals, products are always cheaper.
And, I concur with other commenters, a big thanks for putting up the prices in so many denominations.
Take care.

I thought it was just me that loves wandering around supermarkets when in a foreign country 😅.
I bought that exact brand of tea in your thumbnail purely because I thought the box looked cool.
Great video again guys!

as saudi and i hate to go for shopping, i enjoyed the vid for no reason :)

[BeardedGuy_Tawhid]

Thanks for including Aud pricing very useful. I am planning a move to KSA soon

[memehammer]

I can say from my experience that Saudi is still the cheapest country in the middle east
Rent are half as compared to Qatar or UAE
Local grown fruits / vegetables / meat and products are cheaper as compared to the imported ones in other countries due the big size of country they can grow more local products
There is still a lot of unexplored Saudi tourist locations as they are more opening up and the investment power they have Saudi is the power house of this region

We usually shop at Panda, but last month I went to The Economic Hall, and the prices were really cheap. There were a lot of specials, but they have a rule that you can't get multiple specials of the same item, just 1 per customer or 1 per receipt.

This is my first time watching your videos guys and I am in love 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[memonaar]

The biggest problem we have currently is the 15% tax. Can you believe that the price of a liter of gasoline here is double the price in Egypt! Even though we are a petroleum exporting country!

[karinagerikhanova]

I really like your videos :) Thank you guys 👍

[playvo]

Most of the locals don't shop from Carrefour. In the Western Region Panda/Hyper Panda Supermarkets has better offers and deals.

[HATIM-ONLY]
