FOOD PRICES IN SAUDI ARABIA
When I go back to the USA for the summers, I am usually shocked at the price of groceries. Food prices here in Saudi Arabia have been much cheaper than the US, but we've noticed a steady climb over the past few years. Especially with imported foods. It's been a while since I've done a post about food prices, so I thought now would be a good time to compare. Here we go!
FRESH PARSLEY, CILANTRO, MINT, DILL, MOLOKHIA, ETC., SOLD IN LARGES BUNCHES FOR 1.44 SR (38 cents US)
IMPORTED BEEF TOMATOES & VINE TOMATOES - 34 SR PER KILO. ONE KILO IS 2.2 POUNDS. SO IMPORTED TOMATOES ARE ABOUT $2.25/LB US
IMPORTED ASPARAGUS AT 86 SR (ABOUT $23 US). ARE THERE ACTUALLY PEOPLE WHO LOVE ASPARAGUS SO MUCH THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY THAT PRICE?
IMPORTED BROCCOLI (FROM THE USA) FOR 52 SR PER KILO. SO THAT IS ABOUT $7 US FOR ONE POUND OF BROCCOLI. I CAN'T IMAGINE PAYING THAT MUCH FOR BROCCOLI!
LOCAL BROCCOLI SELLS FOR 14 SR/KILO, WHICH IS ABOUT $1.87/LB US
KIWI - 7 SR/KILO = 93 CENTS/LB US
(NOTE - THERE ARE MANY SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD PRODUCE MARKETS WHERE PRICES FOR FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ARE MUCH CHEAPER)
IMPORTED BRAZILIAN BEEF STRIPLOIN - 68 SR/KILO = $9/LB US
LOCAL BONELESS VEAL - 75 SR/KILO = $10/LB US
FRESH BEEF BURGER PATTIES - 50 SR/KILO = $6.66/LB US
FRESH LAMB SHOULDER - 63/KILO = $8.40/LB US
FRESH LAMB CHOPS - 98 SR/KILO = $13/LB US
(NOTE - THESE ARE SUPERMARKET PRICES - INDIVIDUALLY OWNED MEAT MARKETS USUALLY HAVE CHEAPER PRICES)
FROZEN JUMBO SHRIMP - 69 SR/KILO - $9/LB US
1 WHOLE FROZEN GRILLER CHICKEN 1200G (2.64 LB) - SALE PRICE 11 SR = $2.93 US
