With the start of the countdown for the month of Ramadan, the usual offers and discounts are awaited from cooperative societies at this time of each year, so that the Kuwaiti family can choose the best main items on the table, and citizens also complained about the delay in announcing the Ramadan baskets that are available to shareholders at symbolic prices.
Citizens and residents are confused since the cooperative societies have yet to announce special offers during the holy month although Ramadan is just a few days away.
Al-Qabas daily has learned fasting families are waiting to make appropriate preparations in terms of purchase of foodstuffs to ensure there is no crowding at the last minute.
It is noticeable that some cooperatives were keen a while ago to invite the shareholders to update the data or obtain the family card, with the aim of obtaining the shareholders all the offers available in its markets and branches, in exchange for special prices provided to them, whether before Ramadan or the rest of the month.
At the same time, the commercial markets are making all efforts to win the confidence of shoppers to increase their purchasing power, by launching Ramadan marketing festivals at early times, and at competitive prices that are almost not available in some cooperatives, which contributes to increasing the number of customers during the current period, compared to shoppers in the coops.
