Al Adil Festive Dhamaka offers this week

The Al Adil weekly catalogue

Al Adil is a go-to destination for Indian and South Asian groceries in the UAE, known for its spices, masalas, pickles, flours, lentils, snacks and sweets. Its catalogue is especially busy around Indian festivals such as Diwali, Onam and Navratri, when gift boxes, sweets and festive cooking ingredients go on promotion, but weekly offers also cover everyday staples. For families who cook regional Indian dishes, the leaflet is a practical way to find specific brands at a better price. Browse the catalogue valid now on this page, see where it is valid and check next week's preview.

Comparing catalogues before the weekly shop has become a reflex in the UAE, where the same basket can cost noticeably more or less depending on the store and the week. The the catalogue lets you see at a glance which fresh products, pantry staples and household essentials are discounted, so you can build your shopping list around real savings rather than impulse buys.

Al Adil offers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi

People who search for Al Adil offers today usually want two answers: what is discounted right now, and whether the deal applies in their emirate. Most of those searches come from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which is why the emirates and areas covered by each issue are listed on this page. Branches such as Karama and Bur Dubai are often looked up by name; when the retailer lists them in its catalogue, they get their own area page on the site. You may also see the store written as Adil — it is the same retailer, and the search bar recognises every spelling.

Festival offers, especially for Diwali, are eagerly awaited and usually come as a separate edition. To see everything at once, open the offers valid today at the top of this page, then switch to the next-week tab for what is coming.

When do the new weekly offers come out?

Most UAE hypermarkets publish a new weekly catalogue every week, often starting midweek or just before the weekend, with shorter weekend-only or 'mega deal' leaflets in between. The exact validity of each Al Adil issue is printed in the dates at the top of this page. As soon as a new catalogue is published we add it here, and the preview of the following week appears in the 'Next week' tab whenever it is available.

The most popular products in Al Adil offers

Fresh food leads the searches in every UAE hypermarket catalogue. Shoppers look first for chicken — whole, breasts or frozen packs — then lamb and beef from different origins, fresh fish and prawns, and seasonal fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bananas, mangoes and citrus. Dairy, laban, labneh, cheese, eggs and Arabic bread complete the daily basket.

On the dry side, the products that weigh most on the bill are rice in 5 kg and 10 kg bags, flour and atta, cooking oil, sugar, tea and coffee, pasta, canned food, dates and breakfast cereals. Household essentials — laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, tissues, nappies and toiletries — round out the list and are often where the biggest catalogue discounts hide.

Which emirates and branches are covered?

According to the information published with this issue, the Al Adil catalogue applies in Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai and Sharjah. Offers can vary between emirates and branches, so it is worth checking that your usual store is covered before making the trip. Our city and area pages gather all the catalogues valid in each location, making it easy to compare what is on offer near home or near the office.

Tips to save at Al Adil

• Spices and masalas keep for months: when your favourite brand is on promotion at Al Adil, buy enough for the season.
• Festival catalogues (Diwali, Onam) are usually released ahead of time — use the sneak peek to plan gifts and sweets before the rush.
• Compare the unit price (per kg or per litre) printed under each offer rather than the pack price: it is the only fair way to compare brands and sizes.
• Plan your weekly menu around the fresh meat and vegetables on promotion, then complete the list with what you already have at home.
• Shop early on the first days of a promotion for fresh items and popular deals — quantities are sometimes limited per customer.

The big promotion seasons in the UAE

The UAE grocery calendar has its own highlights. Before Ramadan, hypermarkets publish large campaigns on dates, rice, oil, juices, flour and dairy for iftar and suhoor; before Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha, the focus moves to meat, sweets, nuts and hospitality items. August brings back-to-school pages with lunch boxes and snacks, December adds National Day promotions, and the Dubai Shopping Festival and White Friday push discounts into electronics and home appliances as well.

How to read weekly offers like a pro

Start with the dates: every UAE catalogue states when its offers begin and end, and some pages carry shorter 'weekend only' or 'while stocks last' deals. Then look at the conditions printed in small type — limit per customer, specific sizes, loyalty-card prices or payment methods — because they can change the real value of an offer.

Finally, compare like with like. The unit price (per kg, per litre or per piece) is the only fair way to compare two pack sizes or two brands, and a 'buy 2 get 1' deal is only interesting if you really need three. With these reflexes, ten minutes with the Al Adil catalogue can save a noticeable amount every month.

Why compare catalogues before shopping in the UAE?

The UAE is one of the most competitive retail markets in the region, and retailers fight for customers every week with catalogue offers. Taking a moment to compare the Al Adil catalogue with other leaflets valid in your emirate is the easiest way to benefit from that competition rather than pay for it.

Compare Al Adil with other hypermarkets & supermarkets in the UAE

Shoppers who follow the Al Adil catalogue often compare it with Carrefour, LuLu Hypermarket, Nesto and Al Safeer Hypermarket. Each of these stores has its own page on UAE Catalogues, with the catalogue valid this week, next week's sneak peek and the list of areas covered. Opening two or three of them before a big shop takes only a few minutes and quickly shows which store has the best prices on the items that matter to you this week.

Loyalty programmes, payment and delivery

Catalogue prices are only part of the story. Loyalty points, member-only prices, bank-card promotions and instalment plans can make a deal even better — or add conditions you did not expect. Read the small print next to each offer, keep your loyalty card or app ready at the till, and when ordering online, check that the promotional price also applies to delivery orders and that delivery fees do not cancel out the saving.

How this page works

This page is updated automatically. When Al Adil publishes a new catalogue, it replaces the previous one here on its first day of validity, and next week's preview appears in the 'Next week' tab as soon as it is available. Expired catalogues are kept in the archive list in black and white with an 'Expired' stamp, so you can never confuse an old price with a current one. The deals listed in text above the pages are typed from the catalogue to make them searchable.

Building a monthly budget with weekly offers

A simple method works for most households: keep a short list of the twenty products that make up most of your monthly spending, write down their regular price, and check them against the Al Adil catalogue every week. When one of them drops clearly below its usual price, buy enough to last until the next promotion — as long as it keeps well and you have the space. Over a year, this habit usually saves far more than chasing every individual offer.
