Shopping month? Yes, Shopping month! Either you are too young to remember it or now senile and cannot remember it. But - here's a recap: Shopping month originated as a February festival in the UAE to get more tourists during the February lull, and immigrated back to Lebanon with the joke that merchants would put at 50% discount on an item but keep the same price (no seriously, someone peeled the "new" price to discover it was the same as the old one!) yet, old habits die hard - at least for Khoury Home which is doing its own February sale under the parasol of "shopping festival" - the boombox in itself is time machine enough to let you know which decade we are going back to (all right kind of 90s!).
