Last Call: Carrefour's Back-to-School Blitz Hits 70% Off Before the Bell Rings

The school run is about to get real, and Carrefour UAE is making sure nobody's caught scrambling. With the new term just days away, the retailer has thrown open its Back-to-School sale for one final stretch - up to 70% off food, stationery and electronics, running until 31 August.

It's not just a discount rack. Spend AED 300 and SHARE members are automatically in the running for 50,000 SHARE points (AED 5,000), with 200 lucky winners; a parallel promotion offers 100 shoppers AED 5,000 towards a year of lunchbox essentials. For the tech-heavy shopping list, students and teachers flashing school ID pocket an extra 15% cashback in SHARE points on laptops, tablets, printers and accessories - with the option to spread bigger purchases over 28 interest-free months through Emirates NBD and seven other banks.

For parents dreading the last-minute dash, online orders cover more than 35,000 items, delivered in as little as 60 minutes.

Bottom line: whether it's a missing lunchbox or a long-overdue laptop, this is the week to tick the list off - before the bell rings and the discounts disappear with it.
