...I'm just wondering if the Popular membership discount applies to textbooks...

I believe so. Better still, normally in June and in December, they have this discount voucher of 20% in their store magazine which can be applied to most items they sell.

which means its actually cheaper to get it in Popular? In that case, I should just get the books from Popular when i received the booklist...
Thanks Chief!!!

Yeah, lets discss this later - closer to the date. Yup, I'm still doing the PV, thot I'll finish up this year and then see about next year.

preciousjam:

What are the \"others\"? is it the book covers etc? think easier to get books and uniforms there too...I'm just wondering if the Popular membership discount applies to textbooks...thought of going on the friday to avoid the crowd though it will be great if i can meet you on sat....guess we'll arrange nearer to the date..
are you still in the PV?

That's a good idea then! Maybe we should go to Popular and check out the prices before going to the school. Then we should have an idea of which is cheaper. Also in my case, I have to buy 2 sets of everything, so with discount, should have some substantial savings.

I thought it's only 5% discount on textbooks.

i know what you mean...any saving is definitely welcome.....let's compare notes when we got the booklists and done checking....another good thing about buying at popular, can use credit card so earn some points as well....;)

Another thing I just thought of - the school will be buying in bulk from the publisher directly, so they may be cheaper than popular as they can pass on the savings to us...

i hope the booklist comes with the pricing as well so its easier for us to compare...hubby already thinking of having to wrap up the books nicely....told him seems like back to the days when we were the ones schooling... :lol:

[vividlaurel]

Yeah, true, lets hope they include the price list also. Do they even wrap the books with stickers and name tags these days? I remember doing it when I was in school....
