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

yup just check...its 5%...

vividlaurel:

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 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:

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....
