Weekend Offers at UAE Supermarkets: Best Deals by Store Today
If you are planning a weekend shop, a handful of offers today are worth building your list around. We have pulled the biggest discounts from Carrefour, Lulu and Nesto as of 26 October 2026, grouped by store so you can plan one trip or split it sensibly.
A quick note on timing: our data shows today's prices, not end dates. Offers can change daily, so if something on this list matters to you, buy it sooner rather than later and check the price at the shelf or in the app before you pay.
Carrefour: pantry staples worth stocking up on
The standout pantry deal today is Tilda Pure Original Basmati Rice 5kg at Carrefour for AED 32.99, down from AED 79.99. That works out to AED 6.60 per kg, which is a strong price for a bag that will last a family a good while.
Minerva Light Meat Tuna in Spring Water (3 x 70g) is AED 5.99, down from AED 18.29, or AED 2.85 per 100g. It is handy for quick lunches and keeps well, so it is a sensible thing to stock up on.
If you cook Thai food at home, Dek Som Boon Yellow Curry Cooking Sauce 280g is AED 9.46 (was AED 21.79) and Dek Som Boon Hot Chilli Oil 250ml is AED 10.91 (was AED 25.79).
Carrefour: dairy, bakery and weekend treats
Cheese lovers have two good options. The Three Cows Mozzarella Shredded Cheese (2 x 200g) is AED 9.29, or AED 2.32 per 100g, while President Shredded Cheddar Cheese (2 x 200g) is AED 14.99, or AED 3.75 per 100g. For pizza night, the mozzarella is the better value per gram.

For a weekend gathering, the Carrefour Black Forest Cake for 6 to 8 persons is AED 9.99, down from AED 38.59. That is the deepest discount on our list today at 74% off. Bakery items like this are best bought close to when you need them, so plan it for the day of your get-together.
Smaller bakery bites include Cheese Pandesal Ube at AED 1.49, Bresaola Pizza at AED 5.99 and Boiled Eggs at AED 0.99 each.
Lulu: family packs and cleaning supplies

LuLu Breaded Chicken Fillet 750g + 250g is AED 12.95, down from AED 32.90. It is an easy freezer standby for busy weeknights.
Lotus Biscoff Original Caramelised Biscuits Value Pack 250g is AED 4.95 (was AED 12.50), a nice treat for the weekend.
On the cleaning side, Scotch Brite Stainless Steel Spiral Value Pack (2 x 6 pcs) is AED 17.50 and the Scotch Brite Power Clean Heavy Duty Nail Saver Scrub Sponge Value Pack of 16 is AED 21.50. Both are things you will use eventually, so buying at 55 to 60% off makes sense.
Nesto: fresh fish and vegetables
Nesto has two fish deals today, each at AED 6.99 per kg. Black Para Whole is down from AED 18.99 and Mankada is down from AED 16.99. Fresh fish is best bought for cooking within a day or two, so these suit a weekend meal plan.

Nesto: tea, toiletries and small extras

Bottled water: Carrefour vs Lulu
Both stores have Al Ain Low Sodium water on offer today, but the bottle sizes differ. Carrefour's pack of 24 x 500ml is AED 7.99, which is AED 0.67 per litre. Lulu's pack of 24 x 200ml is AED 8.75, or AED 1.82 per litre.
If you simply want the most water for your money, Carrefour's pack is the better deal today. Lulu's smaller bottles may suit school lunch boxes, but you pay more per litre.

Quick ways to save
- Buy long-life items like rice, pasta, tuna and tea at these prices, since they keep well and you will use them anyway.
- Plan fresh fish and bakery items, such as the Black Forest Cake, for the day you will eat them rather than stocking up.
- Compare unit prices, not pack prices. The two Al Ain water deals look similar but differ a lot per litre.
- We do not have end dates for these offers, so check the shelf or app price before you pay.
- If you are visiting one store only, Carrefour has the widest spread of offers on our list today, from rice to cheese to water.
