Midnight sale on the show

Three days to go before breakfast relief, in a pace of short-lived fasting hours another ordeal shows up ahead of a ready-to-wear magnificent Midnight sale. It all happens with a new form of discount called by vendors who take time to stick on new, for-granted take-away clothes.

The big rush has started all the way long in the very crowded shops of Algiers. Housewives are the first to call up, taking time to visit the D-Day children’s ready-to-wear sale. This year the big unexpected surprise turned out to be a national thumbs-up for an easy go.

Prices within the reach of everybody’s purses have turned vendors into staring day modelists, touting their ornamented staff. In less than 1,000 DA, here we go with a nice trouser. The low limit of this bargaining won’t move less than a minimum outfit for under-14-year-old kids.

Never before could one have met such an opportunity to have his kids quite happy with various clothes of quality to put on without raising the eyebrow of their parents.

Some more to go this last week of Ramadan; new surprises may come up with this nice business doing. Midnight sorties, as we may call it, turn Algiers ornament shopping into the lead money-making machinery turning around this clothes business.

Sooner the better, talks keep on going all the way long, displaying such big interest amid still suspicious newsmongers. Tomorrow is another day. Taking a long run for doing business is worth playing elbow for less spending and making your kids in the limelight of this Eid.
