Few day back I went to Panasonic when there was 50% sale offer. I liked to buy a HD Video Camera, The price of Camera was QRs. 2000/- and the discounted price was QRs. 1199/-, next day I found the same camera at LuLu with the same price 1199/- plus they also offered me a Coupon worth 100/-

Saw a pair of shoes at one of the stores ....the price now after sale is over is lesser than it was during sale with 25- 30% discount...lol.... dont know if there is some provision here under which if I can prove it as it happened the store, a big and renowned store, can be closed for cheating the customers.

Shops here do this all the time..put something on sale, but don't change the price.

Khan, surely, last year i saw a leather jacket in City center worth 7000 Q.R, and after sale of 75% it was 1750 Q.R, and i was expecting to be maximum on 800 Riyal...

I am sure if I check the price of the same product when the sale is over, they will sell it on the same price 1199/-

Consider that any shops who offer 50% sale is on SELECTED items only. if they put 50% doesn't meant all the the items inside the store is on sale.

I understand your concern Khan that's why as a consumer we have to be more smart and practical in purchasing any item here.
