    Social media has been taken by a storm after the announcement of the customs duties rise of certain luxury products. Now after our initial panic has resided, we decided to read more about the items that will sabotage our salaries. Worry not dear citizens, let’s all just live without them.

     

     

     

    Let’s start with the pink elephant of the list: Bras. Why pay more, when we can go commando? Sontayanat-less and channeling our inner Jennifer Aniston

     

    Seamed-or-Seamless-Bras

     

     

     

    Corsets will no more be an essential. Egypt will be surrounded by cellulite everywhere you go…

    Shavers? Who needs them? Let’s all grow beards and get a ball and name it Wilson

    Avocados. We only look at them at the supermarket but never purchase any because we are too lazy to Google how it’s cut

     

    Avocado-Cooking-Worst-Fail-EVER

     

     

     

    Why pay 40% more on a split air conditioner when I can buy takeef shebak? I have had one for 10 years and except for its deafening noise, it’s working zai elfol

     

    air-conditioner-1

     

     

     

    Why pay more for deodorant? Go local and get Nabulsi

    Does Egypt have a BDSM dungeon where whips sales are so high and recreational that they had to make the list? Well, the dungeon people can use belts…

    Khalas balash satellite recievers, CBC, MBC Masr, Star Academy, The Voice Kids and the TV show “Oreed Ragolan”, although that is genuinely cruel for all women enchanted by Eyad Nassar this month

    Who needs tissue? We’ll wipe our noses in our sleeves!

    Roller blades and hopefully hover boards are on that list as well. It’s about time these kids start using their legs and walk again

    Goodbye wrist watches, we’ll pretend we’re rappers and wear a menabeh
