A come on marketing strategy of a big  home furnishing store here is to offer breakfast at SR4.00 (US$1) for a plate of 2 long sausages, bacons, omelet and slices of bread.  Drinks like coffee and sodas are refillable.  If you think that won’t suffice, add-ons like cheese, croissants, boiled eggs, hams, doughnuts are all ready for your indulgence.  It is only available every Thursday (week-end) and as early as 9:00 am, people trooped to the store for their breakfast-lunch.  After meal, it is customary for us to walk around the store as they say to help digest the food fast.  That’s when you will fall trap of buying those beautiful displays for  your home.  Most often than not, you will be going home with  cart load of furnishing and decors so tempting not to buy. 

Yesterday it was our brunch date!  After a heavy meal, we  walked around and I bought only a 6 pack of drinking glasses,  scented candles and a bulb.  I resisted the urge to buy on impulse.
