This campaign aims to address the tendency of consumers to overspend when purchasing goods and necessities while experiencing hunger, as highlighted by various studies, Khaberni reported.

NSCP President Mohammad Obeidat emphasized that the campaign seeks to guide citizens' purchasing and consumption habits away from extravagance. This initiative aims to reduce their financial losses, particularly amid challenging economic conditions.

Obeidat further explained that the Ramadan plan includes a focus on monitoring markets. This involves tracking an index of prices for goods commonly used by citizens during the holy month to ensure the availability of these items in markets in sufficient quantities, at moderate prices, and with high quality.

The NSCP president urged citizens to carefully assess the suitability of goods for use and consumption. He also encouraged them to pay attention to the accuracy of weights when making purchases. Obeidat confirmed that the society will continue to receive complaints and observations from citizens. Additionally, they will follow up with relevant authorities to address any issues raised during the campaign.
