I agree with Saltaire,
You are looking at a minimum of 5000AED for food each month for a family of 4. And I stress, that's an absolute minimum. I would plan more in the range of 6000AED to be realistic.
And that does't include the odd night out for you and the family or you and the misses (1000AED+).
Unless you want to live like a hermit. People do but it's a very boring existence.
