D-Mart has been ruling the grocery market of India for nearly a decade now. The success story of D-Mart is not unfamiliar to the Indian public. It is particularly more popular among the middle-class section of India because it offers heavy discounts on almost every item they sell. Also, because of heavy daily sales, their stock clearance is fast, and therefore all the items available are fresh.
Reliance has come into the market recently to challenge the undisputed dominance of D-Mart with their Reliance Smart Bazaar. They are offering all the products that D-Mart provides to their customers, including groceries, steel and plastic items, and cheap clothes. In addition, they are offering large electronic items like TVs, ovens, etc., which D-Mart does not market. In groceries, similar to D-Mart, Reliance Bazaar is currently giving a minimum 6% discount on every item. So now middle-class people have one more option to D-Mart. However, if we buy groceries from D-Mart, we are likely to get a bit cheaper than Smart Bazaar. This is because D-Mart has been in the market for a long period now and can afford to offer more discounts.
Cheaper than D-Mart? A trick to share: We can avail more discounts on groceries and other items if we buy from Reliance Smart Bazaar and ultimately will be a bit cheaper than D-Mart, in most if not all cases. Reliance Smart Bazaar offers digital gift cards, which are redeemable at their stores. Now the trick is that these gift cards are available at a discount of 2 to 4%, so we can save 2 to 4% on our total purchase, which is in addition to the discounts on individual products. D-Mart currently doesn’t offer such digital gift cards and so no option to save more on the total bill. A similar gift cards are also available for online grocery store Big Basket, where we can get some products cheaper than D Mart after apllying the discounted gift cards.
Where to buy discounted gift cards?
Here are two websites which offer discount on Reliance Smart Bazaar Gift Cards
1 Woohoo.in : Upto 4% discount.

Conclusion: In simple terms, even though D-Mart is still a good choice for saving money, Reliance Smart Bazaar’s digital gift cards offer a clever way to save even more. This means people can change how they shop for groceries, and it could make a big difference in how they see value when buying things in India.
