        If your school bookstore is called Pacific, then better to get from Popular. My dd school’s bookstore used to be Delta and price was okay. Now both my kids school bookstore run by Pacific. I switch to Pouplar, it’s cheaper and also can get all the stationary at the same time.

                During the year-end, think Popular will have some promotion ... free wrapper, voucher etc. Only good if you are ordering whole lot of it above a certain amout. If I didn't remember wrongly, delivery is chargeable.....I did a quick calculation, think the delivery charge would offset quite a chunk of the savings....not worth. If you have the \"Manpower aka hubby\" and going for $ savings, better to purchase and carry from outlet, but note......sometimes, out of stock.

                  If delivery not free then will have to lug the books home

                        Just a tip for first time P1 parents. Double check with teachers (if possible) on the items listed. I find every year, there’ll be a couple of items listed but not used at all e.g. extra exercise books, paints and brush sets, etc. And some subject plastic folders can be used beyond P1… they will continue to be listed from P2 onwards. Hence you don’t need to keep buying a new one every year.
