Well you find hard that this post ever rise up for any blogger stay in Qatar as pretty much everything is expensive here except car and petrol and water and electricity bills because there are no tax on automotive import and government subsidize for the latter.
Food and accommodation remain the most expensive item as Qatar import 90% of food and most raw material for construction and also because most building are owned by Qatari so the rental are controlled by them.
Nonetheless, there are thing that I know it is really cheap compare to Malaysia which is personal hygiene products such as toothpaste, toothbrush, facial wash / cream, tooth floss, shampoo and etc etc. I not sure why, maybe because it is tax free and also due to Qatar currency is weaker than Malaysia. You be surprise to find thing made in Malaysia but it selling cheaper in Qatar than Malaysia....
Apart from this, I notice Qatar retail shop carry brand which I can't find in Malaysia for pretty much anything such as fast food chain, watches, grocery products and many more... So it kinda nice if you like to try other brand. Currently I am using a toothpaste called Signal and found it good as reduce my tooth sensitivity better then Sendodyne and it cost me QR10 for 2 tube of toothpaste and abottle of Lifebuoy hand wash.. Dirt cheap right?
Edit
Oh ya...... Subway is cheap too and is even cheaper when they have promo.. is about RM8 for 6inche
