Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
As concern grows over the cost of living in Bahrain, GulfWeekly sends reporter Shilpa Chandran out on a weekly shopping mission. She visits seven of the kingdom's most popular supermarkets to put them to the price test and to find out what it costs to buy a small trolley load of 25 popular items. If YOU
