Since Al Shaya hit the 75% sales, it was time to hit the malls once again spending hour after hour without even realizing how much we were spending as compared to what our budgets were meant to be. It all seemed very forgivable and justified to our bullied subconscious minds thinking that we were getting the better end of the deal.

Since each mall has a different variety at each store, we hit Souq Sharq yesterday in an attempt to run through Coast and Oasis, Next, Kenneth Cole and Debenhams. There were some stores that had more of a variety as compared to their stocks in Avenues, such as Coast. I picked up two dresses from there and several other things and had a full fledged sense of satisfaction.

Until this morning that is. I looked online for the stock available at Coast, UK and my jaw dropped to see that a certain dress cost 45 pounds online, while here it costs 45 KD. What the hell? its on sale online as well as in the store here. http://www.coast-stores.com/VIVIE-D/S-COLOUR-BLOCK-BANDEAU/All-Sale/coast/fcp-product/2143397298

Livid as you can imagine, I did a little research online to come across this post from another blogger in Kuwait who noticed something similar at Zara http://eyepollution.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/inspired/ Apparently same deal- shoes at Zara available for 70 pounds online, available here for 70 KD.

I do recall being annoyed at Zara here in Kuwait. It was at Avenues where I had seen blatant KD stickers stuck atop the Euro price, and a quick calculation would tell you that everything seemed marked up by 10 whole KD. Has anyone else noticed it?

I think I’m going to start going to the stores to just figure out which size I want it in, and then order everything online.
