Nuts atbp in Carrefour

 
    It was our last shopping day in Dubai and so we went to Carrefour.  Look at all the mixed nuts on display !  

   There was a variety of dried herbs too :

      Had the figs and plums for snacks: 

I wanted to bring home the orange capsicum.  

 

There were lots to see but due to customs restrictions, I only bought snacks for the day.

But seriously, one of the best ways to get to know a place (and to find cheap meals) is to visit their grocery/supermarket.   Make it a point to visit one on Day 1 ( or Day 2) of your trip.
