Near-expiry shopping lets you stock premium pantry staples at very cheap prices—as long as you’ll use them soon. Two of the best categories for smart savings are oils & ghee and honey: they’re versatile, shelf-friendly, and feature in everyday cooking.
Why these categories work
- Every day use: Frying, sautéing, baking, dressings, marinades, breakfasts—these staples disappear steadily.
- Quality with proper storage: Keep tightly sealed, away from heat and direct sunlight.
- Bigger value: Short-dated stock of trusted brands is often heavily discounted.
Oils & Ghee
Neutral oils suit high-heat cooking (stir-fries, deep-frying), while ghee adds rich, nutty depth to rice, dals, roasts, and finishing drizzles. If you batch-cook or meal-prep, these are easy wins for savings without changing recipes. Explore the curated oils & ghee collection.
Honey
Great as a natural sweetener for tea, yogurt, pancakes, and baking, honey also shines in dressings and glazes for chicken or roasted veggies. Short-dated jars are ideal when you cook or bake weekly—same flavor, lower price. Browse the discounted honey collection.
From multiple suppliers for a wider choice
The marketplace aggregates short-dated lots from different suppliers across Dubai—distributors, retailers, and local sellers—so you get more brands and formats (bottles, cans, jars, squeeze packs), transparent shelf-life labeling, and competitive pricing in one place.
How to maximize savings
- Buy to your pace: Choose sizes you’ll finish within the remaining shelf life.
- Plan a mini menu: Curries with ghee, granola with honey, and a vinaigrette for salads help you use stock efficiently.
- Store smart: Keep lids sealed; avoid heat and light to preserve aroma and texture.
