Retail experts highlight that end-of-season sales are prime opportunities for bargains, with predictable timing each year—such as summer clearance in July and winter markdowns in January.
“Timing is everything,” advises a Dubai-based money coach, emphasizing the importance of planning purchases to avoid panic-buying during high-demand periods.
Another savvy tip is to shop off-season. For instance, purchasing winter clothing in March or summer gear in October can yield substantial savings as demand—and prices—drop.
Major sales for electronics often occur in December and January, while furniture discounts are prevalent in September.
Online shoppers have the added advantage of utilizing coupon codes, cashback offers, and bank partnerships.
E-commerce platforms like Amazon.ae and Noon frequently collaborate with banks to provide exclusive discounts, enhancing the savings potential.
However, shoppers should remain vigilant to avoid common pitfalls, such as assuming a marked-down price is automatically a good deal.
Comparing prices and understanding the difference between needs and wants can prevent unnecessary spending.
With strategic planning, UAE residents can navigate sales events effectively, ensuring they enjoy the thrill of shopping while keeping their budgets intact.
