(MENAFN) As Ramadan approaches, major supermarkets in Saudi Arabia have begun offering discounts on food items. Ramadan, which is expected to begin on March 23, will be determined by the Moon-sighting committee when it searches the skies for the new crescent. Saudi residents are taking advantage of these discounts to stock up on essentials that will last well beyond the holy month.
Shoppers in Jeddah said they eagerly await the yearly Ramadan deals that allow them to buy and share food with relatives and those in need. Many are stocking up on dates, which are traditionally eaten to break the fast, as well as sugary drinks, dairy, and sweets. The discounts on food items go up to 50%, making it the perfect opportunity for families to buy for the whole month, as they have many guests throughout Ramadan for iftar and suhoor.
Since Ramadan and Eid are the most important months in the Muslim calendar, they are also the busiest with the most social and family gatherings over food. The discounts offered by supermarkets help families prepare for the holy month of Ramadan and to celebrate it with loved ones.
