Deals that keep their margin

Three sweets people already buy for Diwali, packed as one pre-order. The cut is small because the items have room.

$32.00 · counter $35.97 · $19.70 profit

Navratri starts Sunday. The thali is vegetarian and still clears the floor at 10% off the price you charge today.

$41.40 · counter $46.00 · $23.00 profit

Tuesday midday is the slow stretch. Pair the lunch plate with chai instead of discounting a high-cost sweet.

$14.99 · counter $18.24 · $9.19 profit

The safer way to move kaju katli: add chai, and take only a small combined discount.

$19.99 · counter $21.74 · $8.19 profit

A gift on a full basket. Checked against your lowest-margin item so a barfi-heavy order still has to clear the floor.

$40.00 · counter $40.00 · $15.27 profit

Samosas cost little to make, so a second portion still clears the floor. Better on a slow afternoon than on a Saturday night.

$5.49 · counter $10.98 · $2.79 profit

A straight discount looks generous and falls through the floor. Kept here so the block is visible.

$15.19 · counter $18.99 · $3.79 profit

You would still make $3.79 per sale, but margin is 25.0%, under your 38% floor.

Barfi is the slowest box and the tightest margin. Ten percent off does not clear the floor.

$21.60 · counter $24.00 · $7.00 profit

You would still make $7.00 per sale, but margin is 32.4%, under your 38% floor.
