Shopping is an important part of the preparation for the great Diwali festival. This is an opportunity to renew the routines and take advantage of the best Diwali offers across India. Diwali means discounts and offers for nearly every shop, big or small. Read on to learn about the hottest ones on the market.
If you're afraid that you'll spend too much on shopping (totally get it), learn how to manage your budget wisely.
Pro-tip for gift shopping
But before we proceed, let us share a pro tip that can save you a lot of money on Diwali offers.
Today, as an Indian expat living abroad, you can easily buy gifts for your loved ones in India online, regardless of your location. Most of the time, this might look like a reasonable option. However, if you plan to gift shop for this Diwali, remember that the best Diwali offers in India are usually available only to those paying with national bank cards.
The good news is that if you hold a bank card issued in Europe or the UK, you can use Profee to send money to an Indian bank account – your own or your family members' back home. That is a win-win solution: you save money by paying locally thanks to Profee's top rates on the market and benefit from its exceptional Diwali offer valid until 10 November: zero commission on transfer to India with the promo code you may find in your email.
