Dubai: Ramadan is a time of reflection and community, but it can also be a period of increased spending. Here are six ways to save money during this holy month.
Expert Insights from Abhishek Datta:
“During widely celebrated festivals like Ramadan, you might encounter sales and discount signs. That may trigger spaving, the act of spending money to buy more than you initially needed, all because of some perceived savings,” says Abhishek Datta, Vice President of Sales at The Continental Group. “Similarly, brands ramp up advertisements during Ramadan, hoping to market to people on their shopping routine and leisurely outings. If you avoid visiting shopping malls too often, you can steer clear of advertisements intended to make you spend impulsively on things you don’t need.”
