Compare prices in the UAE
What you can compare here, and where each number comes from. Every price shows its source and date. Where we have no price, we say so instead of guessing.
Everyday groceries in Dubai shops
In-store prices for 95 essential products at 10 supermarket chains in Dubai, as published by the UAE Ministry of Economy and Tourism — Essential Goods Prices Platform, dated 8 October 2026. For each product you see the lowest chain median and the range across chains.
Product by product
Today's price for each product we track, with the store and the date of the reading.
Your own shopping list
Paste your list or add a photo of it and compare it with the prices we can show. The comparison runs in your browser; a photo or the text goes to Google only if you ask the AI to read it. Where a store publishes its delivery fees (today Union Coop), you also see the delivery fee range. We do not keep your list unless you sign up for the weekly alert.
Which stores we read, and which we don't
We only read prices from online stores whose terms allow it, with our bot identified and robots.txt respected: today Union Coop and FreshToHome. Since 2 October 2026 we no longer show store-by-store rankings while we ask stores for permission to use their prices; the Ministry's published data is a separate source and stays.
Electronics, home and baby gear
We don't compare prices for these. Our sister site Brainy Shopper tells you which stores sell each type of product in the UAE and what to check before you buy (warranty, conformity, invoice), without prices. For example: TVs, washing machines and car seats. Brainy Shopper uses affiliate links to some stores; prices.brainy.ae does not.

Questions
Do you compare prices between supermarkets?
For 95 everyday products, yes, using the prices the UAE Ministry of Economy and Tourism publishes for 10 chains. For other products we show the price at the stores we are allowed to read, with the date.
Are the prices up to date?
Each price shows its date. The Ministry's data is dated 8 October 2026; store readings are from the last 36 hours or they are not shown.
Do you earn money from these links?
No. There are no affiliate links on prices.brainy.ae. Brainy Shopper, our sister site, may earn a commission on some store links; it never shows prices.
Can I compare electronics or furniture?
Not on this site. Brainy Shopper tells you where to buy them in the UAE, without prices.
