Doha is pretty much a huge construction site while preparing for the 2022 World Cup. It can be frustrating and amusing.
This riveting post is about the price of typical items in Doha. (Aren't you super excited?!?) Give it a skim; it might be a little fun. It's not like Jonathon was embarrassed of me walking around the store snapping photos. :)
When we first moved to Qatar is took some time getting acclimated to a new currency. On top of that, at the grocery store we had to switch from using pounds to kilograms. I was confused more than I would like to admit, but we finally have our bearings regarding Doha pricing.
The best:
We pay about $15 to pull into a gas station and have somebody pump our tank completely full. Gas here is subsidized so every station charges the same dirt cheap price.
The good:
-Hummus = $1 per container
-Pita bread =$0.10 a piece
The produce labels also indicates the origin of import. K.S.A. is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Where the food is imported from makes a big impact in the price. $0.80/lb or $2.60/lb

-Car washes cost $7 for someone to come to our place and clean a vehicle.
-Eggplant is so cheap that we keep buying it even though we still haven't figured out how to cook it properly.

The bad:
-Anything that is imported is crazy (ACWS- get it Baugh?) expensive.
-Greek yogurt = $7.50 (oh how I miss you)
-Lunch Meat = $8
-Doritos = $6
The ugly:
Alcohol = $15 for a beer at a restaurant (But you can't buy alcohol at every restaurant, only place in hotels.) Drink one for us!
Our weekend also included some basketball watching. We were just excited that KU had the early game, so we were able to watch live. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
