Saudi shoppers are rushing to take advantage of significant discounts at Binda supermarkets, with price cuts of up to 58% on essential goods. The promotions, which include a reduction in flour prices from 14.95 to just 4.99 Saudi Riyal per bag, are drawing large crowds and offering substantial savings for families.
The sales event has sparked a surge in shoppers at Binda locations across the Kingdom, eager to capitalize on the limited-time offers. Mozzarella cheese from Almarai has been reduced from 25 to 12.95 Riyal, effectively halving the price, while long-life Almarai milk is now selling for 15.99 Riyal instead of 26.25 Riyal.
“I couldn’t believe the prices when I saw them,” said Um Saad, a mother of four. “I saved 180 Riyal on just one week’s groceries!” A Binda spokesperson stated, “We believe every Saudi family deserves access to high-quality products at affordable prices.”

The promotions come amid increasing competition among Saudi retail chains and growing financial pressures on families due to the rising cost of living. Global inflationary pressures have prompted retailers to seek creative solutions for consumers, with Binda taking a leading role. The company previously saw significant success with its Ramadan promotions, which drew exceptionally high customer traffic.
“These offers reflect the intensity of the competition and benefit the consumer,” commented Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Shahri, an economic expert. “Analysts expect a strong response from competitors in the coming days.” The discounts are particularly impactful for everyday purchases; for example, dates from Medina, previously priced at 60 Riyal, are now available for 24.99 Riyal – a savings equivalent to a day’s wages for some workers.
Khalid Al-Tamimi, an accountant who employs strategic shopping techniques, shared his experience: “I saved over 2000 Riyal last year from Binda’s offers, and now the opportunity is even greater.” Retail experts predict a 40% increase in Binda’s sales during the promotional period, but advise shoppers to “plan ahead and avoid overbuying.”
Fatima Al-Ghamdi, a regular shopper, confirmed, “I look forward to Binda’s offers every week, and sometimes I save 300 Riyal on a single week’s shopping.” With discounts reaching 58% on over 20 essential products, and the offer ending on Tuesday, November 18th, items are quickly disappearing from shelves.

The question now is whether shoppers will take advantage of the savings, or regret missing out on this limited-time opportunity.
