Spinneys has launched a grocery delivery service in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, allowing customers to shop directly online for the first time.

The supermarket's full range of fruit and vegetables, deli goods, dairy products, meat and fish are all available, as well as dried good and household items.

The website offers a re-order function, allowing customers to easily repeat past shops.

There is a minimum spend of Dh100 on orders with a delivery fee of Dh15, and orders of more than Dh350 are delivered for free.

When using the website, The National was able to select a same-day delivery time slot between 7pm and 9pm, or wait until tomorrow, with various times available from 10am until 9pm.

As of Saturday, July 4, the service is available for Spinneys customers in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It launched in Dubai in mid-June.

"Demand for home grocery deliveries has never been higher. Launched amidst the economic challenges caused by Covid-19, our new service will offer our customers an efficient, convenient and safe way to shop for their groceries," Spinneys chief executive, Sunil Kumar, said.

"Stepping into the world of e-commerce strengthens our ability to further support our communities and continue to provide our customers with the best possible products in the best possible way."

The e-tailer is known for its fresh produce, but wait times have increased in the last few months, following a surge in online shopping demand amid the coronavirus pandemic.

With Kibsons, the minimum order for delivery is Dh50. It offers everything from fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, to household essentials.

Islamophobia definition

A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.

Financial considerations before buying a property

Buyers should try to pay as much in cash as possible for a property, limiting the mortgage value to as little as they can afford. This means they not only pay less in interest but their monthly costs are also reduced. Ideally, the monthly mortgage payment should not exceed 20 per cent of the purchaser’s total household income, says Carol Glynn, founder of Conscious Finance Coaching.

“If it’s a rental property, plan for the property to have periods when it does not have a tenant. Ensure you have enough cash set aside to pay the mortgage and other costs during these periods, ideally at least six months,” she says. 

Also, shop around for the best mortgage interest rate. Understand the terms and conditions, especially what happens after any introductory periods, Ms Glynn adds.

Using a good mortgage broker is worth the investment to obtain the best rate available for a buyer’s needs and circumstances. A good mortgage broker will help the buyer understand the terms and conditions of the mortgage and make the purchasing process efficient and easier.
