Whether you shop daily, weekly or monthly for your groceries visit the Dubai Fruit & Vegetable Market if you have not already done so. The selection is massive to the say least but you will notice that many stalls sell similar items. My suggestion is to find someone you like and stick with them. Loyalty or the illusion of loyalty is, in my case, rewarded.
The gentlemen at the fruit stall that I visit are always smiling and will make sure I receive nice produce and will slip in some extra bananas or mandarins for me.

The Dubai Fruit and Vegetable market is located in Ras al Khor Industrial area and easily accessable from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (when going south bound it is just passed Mirdiff City Centre). The market is also conveniently located next to Union Coop so it is great for one stop shopping. Be aware though that Union Coop will not have the same selection as Carrefour but it has some great deals.If you are purchasing a large amount of fruit and vegetables a trolley guy will only set you back AED10 so give them a tip.
I recommend going earlier in the morning especially in the summer months as there is no air conditioning.
Happy shopping and load up on some healthy fruit and veg!
