We took breakfast and dinner. The food was delicious, dinner was chosen from three options and you could only take a salad or soup, dessert and the second without additional payment, you had to wait 20-25 minutes.
There are inexpensive cafes in the Dubai Marina area, sometimes they ate there, and sometimes they bought ready-made food in small supermarkets, they are cheaper than in large stores.

We enjoyed eating at the Golden Fork cafe. There are wonderful restaurants in each of the emirates.
The food there is very tasty and not expensive, for example, Bouillabaisse soup costs 17 dirhams. Hot napkins are served before and after dinner, which smell good. My husband and I rested in three Emirates, in Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and everywhere we took a taxi and visited this wonderful restaurant.

If the goal is precisely inexpensive, then it is better to take full board or breakfast + dinner at worst.
You can eat cheaply in the emirates in fast foods, Indian / Pakistani eateries, small cafes with Lebanese cuisine. Lebanese cafes are the most harmless option of those mentioned.
It must be understood that the UAE is not Europe and not Turkey, there is no tasty and inexpensive here. In the same "Golden Fork" food will not be freshly prepared, but warmed up after a few hours, the taste of fish and seafood, as you understand, does not get any better from this. And in inexpensive cafes there will be no alcohol, which also reduces the pleasure of eating.

I agree with ollenka - if the goal is savings, then you need to take HB.
We went to different establishments, except for the most murdered ones - and nowhere was it so very cheap.

And we flew to Dubai for breakfast. We ate in order to save money from the supermarket, they didn’t like their cheap cafes, Indian and Lebanese ones are not ours. The golden fork is ok, but it's a little expensive for us every day. Poppies and a trigger are also there (for a snack it will do). If it's really economical, grab a couple of sticks of dry sausage and cheese. You can brew soups from the package (there is a kettle in the room). BUT THE MAIN THING is if you want to eat normally, then you need to add another 600-1000 bucks to the budget for food, or you can save on food (no one has canceled home-grown food) and spend money on excursions, visit the Global, a flower park, a frame, fountains, on your own climb the tower, walk around the Marina, .... ferari, swim across in a boat and visit the historical museum, there is a golden market. We saw everything that we planned, BUT if food, room and relaxation are important, then we need to look at hotels of a different price category, because everyone has a different vacation.

And I think it's pretty sad to go to one of the richest countries to make soup in your room. There are no natural beauties, no historical monuments, for the sake of which one can suffer inconvenience and which one must visit "even with a carcass, even with a stuffed one" ...

You need to understand that Dubai is a country of expensive show-offs, and food in restaurants is more expensive than food in Europe, and the markup is not for quality, but for the fact that it is in Dubai.
I would advise you to take breakfast + dinner, and dine with what you buy in supermarkets.

In general, you can buy a fullboard at the hotel on the spot, at least for those days when you do not plan to go on excursions. Then you won’t have to choke on dry food from supermarkets.
By the way, I really like Lebanese cuisine, a couple of times we ate in decent Lebanese cafes, divine kebabs, grilled lamb, fresh vegetables, flatbread! One minus - there is no wine to all this disgrace, although wine is part of the Lebanese cuisine.

Answering the question of what you can eat from a supermarket, I’ll say that local supermarkets are not particularly different from those in other countries of the world, there are also large quantities of global trademarks there, labeling on products in Arabic and English, so what is called in taste and color... And, as already mentioned, the country is not cheap, almost everything is imported, so do not expect our prices there.

comparing current prices in ukraine and the emirates, i can say we have reached the bottom) a lot of food has become cheaper in the emirates! rather, in Ukraine it is more expensive ... well, this is moving away from the topic.
and if about restaurants and eat - it's more convenient to take breakfast + dinner of course. although, as my experience shows, with a breakfast price of 80-90 aed per day on a buffet, I will have a pleasant a la carte breakfast in a normal establishment for the same money. for an amateur.
another option is to take hotel apartments when you can quickly cook something at home. if the kids are traveling.
well, prices for all establishments can be found here https://www.zomato.com

I'm embarrassed to say, but next to my house (near Palm Jumeirah) there was a supermarket, where in the evening there were often tastings of finished products. Not like ours, on a microscopic piece, but a kebab, for example, whole on a skewer. A couple of approaches, and full. Look in the evening. I also traveled to the Deira area (there is a cheap market and prices), dined there, and ordered something to wrap with me, on the trail. day.
