6 Important Things To Consider Before You Head To The Super Sale This Weekend
Budget-savvy shoppers, THIS is the sales weekend you hold out for.
The 3 Day Super Sale is back, which means up to 90% discounts at 2,000 shops across Dubai… Yaaasssss!
Each year, Dubai hosts a number of sales but this is one of the biggest, which means a) HUGE discounts and b) lots and lots of shoppers.
It’s a three-day-long shopping festival and it kicks off this Thursday, October 31 and runs until November 2.
Don’t go in blind! Here’s a knowledge drop to ensure you have a brilliant sales experience
6. The earlier you get there, the better!
Whether you’ve been saving your dirhams for electronics, you have your eye on a statement piece of jewellery, or you simply want to treat yo’self to some new clothes, homeware or beauty products, one thing is for sure: The best bits go first.
Top tip: Get there on Thursday to nab the best stuff and AVOID the sale crowd madness at all costs.
5. Public transport and Dubai Taxi is your friend
Many malls in Dubai are conveniently located next to the Dubai Metro service, or you have the option of hailing a cab. If you’re planning on driving, (what better way to haul all your discounted goodies?!) get there early to ensure you find a spot. There will be crowds and it will be a battle for a parking space later on in the evening.
4. Shop smart, you can earn points on everything you buy!
We’re about to drop some Dubai shopping knowledge: There’s an app that lets you earn points on all the shopping you’re about to do – and the points convert back to cash towards your purchases. Hello, savings!
You may have heard of the SHARE rewards programme that launched in September. It’s popular for adding value to your everyday shopping like groceries, meals and movie trips. Plus you can use it anywhere in the shopping mall on top of any sales already happening. Erm, ideal!
Whenever you make a purchase this weekend at one of their malls, scan your receipts on the SHARE app and see those points rack up!
3. You can even earn dirhams back on SALE items
We kid you not. The SHARE app lets you do that. Every 10 points equals AED1 and you can use them on any purchases in the mall – even if the item is already on sale!
In total, you have 16 malls and 2,300 stores across the UAE at your fingertips, erm, options much?! Learn more about the app here.
How do SHARE points translate to dirhams? Simply scan receipts to get cashback in points. Points vary depending on where you shop, but the most important detail is this: For every 10 SHARE Points, you earn AED1. Which directly transfers to dirhams you can use. It’s a no brainer!
2. SHARE points with your family, and never run out of points again!
This is a family app, made for those who want to share exclusive discounts and points with their nearest and dearest. And if you’re running out of points to spend? Simply set up a family group and instantly share points together!
Remember folks, sharing is caring…
1. Only buy items you really love
So it’s sales time, which means discounts, and you’re shopping with SHARE, so you’re shopping power has doubled!
But with strength comes more responsibility and there’s no need to splurge unnecessarily… Make sure you really loveeeee something before you buy it.
