In many large retail outlets, there are still broad distributions and discounts exceeding 40%. The main focus is on staple goods, fresh food, essential goods, meat, and electrical appliances. Following visits to several of these outlets, the correspondent "Emirates Today" noted significant buyer interest, standing in long lines at the checkout counters on busy days to take advantage of these promotions.
One of the shoppers, Fadiya Adnan, pointed out that discounts allow her to purchase food products at affordable prices. She expressed the opinion that larger items should be included in the discounts, primarily meat and fish, as well as various brands of the same product.
In this regard, the consumer Ahmed Al-Suveydi noted that discounts on food products and fresh food reach over 40%, and they also affected electrical appliances. He suggested including high-priced goods in promotions, such as meat, fish, and dairy products, and regularly arrange similar discounts.
Retail managers noted that discounts are conducted simultaneously with food product manufacturers and some suppliers, aimed at increasing sales, especially considering the approach of the end of the year, as well as competition between different outlets and online platforms to boost market shares.
