Dolce vita a la dubai: how much do imported products cost there and in Russia?

10 августа 2021, 08:47
Against the backdrop of a constant rise in food prices in Russia, it is very curious to know what the situation is in other countries now - has it jumped on the price tags? The blogger angryujin (translated from English - Angry Eugene), who lives in Dubai, has published an interesting article about life in the United Arab Emirates.

He recently moved to Dubai, one of the most luxurious cities in the world, and he never ceases to be amazed: food, despite the fact that little is growing in the UAE, is literally a penny, given that residents' salaries are high.

But UN experts reported back in June: in general, world food prices are increasing at an accelerating rate. The May increase in the food price index was caused by the rise in prices for sugar, cereals, vegetable fats, meat, milk ... acceleration of food inflation in Russia ", - wrote" Nezavisimaya Gazeta ".

In the UAE, the situation is apparently different. Here's what Angryujin says:

“I made another dream come true, went to a place where it is warm, beautiful and safe.

Many people ask how many retirees I robbed, how many bribes I received, and in general how expensive it is to live in Dubai.

Let's start with food prices (spoiler - they are cheaper than in Russia).

Nothing grows here. Everything is brought (for example, from Australia).

The price of a carrot is 40 rubles / kg. And you know what's the strangest thing? She tastes like carrots!

Eggs - 30 pieces, cost 140 rubles; potatoes 45 rubles. Pasta 37 rubles, chicken breasts 140 rubles. Yoghurts for 20-80 rubles, etc.

Here are the pictures of the price tags (multiply by 20).

An apartment for a year can be rented from 60 thousand rubles (short-term), and it will include parking, a swimming pool and a gym.

Salaries here are completely different and sometimes it seems to me that as much as you ask, they will give that much, since a person can work in a company and receive 10 thousand dollars a month (800 thousand rubles a month), and his colleague who does the same thing - 30 thousand dollars (2 million 100 thousand). There are also Indians who are happy with 300-500 dollars (21-50 thousand rubles).

P.S.

About "robbed pensioners" - I was a simple sales manager for Digital services in Moscow for about 5 years. Thanks to the coronavirus, a lot of time has appeared on self-isolation to master the skills of execution, for example, website development, SMM, SEO, etc. And in addition to his freelance work, he began to perform other simple tasks. For six months I saved up money and left. In general, not a single grandmother was hurt. "
