Sticker Shock

Every time I buy groceries here I always suffer a little sticker shock when I see the total. Today's total 753.78............Qatari Riyals, that is. You convert it to $ amount by dividing by 4 and adding 10%. So it isn't as bad as it sounds, but just paying 700 or 800 of any money for groceries doesn't feel very good. The most expensive thing 33 QR for a box of Honey Nut Cherrios! Will loves'em and I am a sucker.
