I'm guilty of that too :oops: bought them during the P6 promotion period...20% if getting more than 2 items.
Have paid 50 cents for additional copy before...bcos used up voucher earlier. Then legs brought me to popular again...and you know the rest.

[quote=\"raisintan\"]Will there be good discounts or similar to the year-end 20% discount voucher?

The reason why I'm going to BookFest is because of the cash rebate stickers when I bought a 3M study lamp. I have a phobia for crowds actually.

The 20% discount at the stores is better bcos you know where the books are placed unlike BookFest. Unfortunately there is ONLY 1 discount voucher. So you really have to do some homework at home before going to the store.

Give you some tip: Popular will usually print extra copies of magazines. In case you have already taken and used your 20% discount voucher, and now want to buy something of higher value that the 20% will come in useful, you can purchase a copy of the magazines for $0.50 and then tear out and use the discount voucher of 20% in there. No doubt you pay $0.50 more, but your savings may be worthwhile if you purchase more

Note that the \"popular\" popular branches may run out of magazines sooner![/quote]Thanks for the info.

Hi Mummies,

I hope I can control myself during the BookFest and keep to stationery.
When Popular starts the 20%, I need to get the Handbook for P6 Chinese. As for my younger one, 1 more Math assessment, Eng Compo (Casco) and Chinese. If I can get all the titles at the store, then I can bypass the ‘assessment book’ section at BookFest.

Ok, you know me.
My hubby happened to sit in front of the shelf few nights ago...and made a comment about the number of Science assessment purchased. I pretended not to hear. :whut:

Yes, you said the right word - must control ourselves once go down bookfest. The temptation is just … so great !

Must control and not lose our sanity :imanangel: ...can't possibly buy a mountain of assessment books from BookFest...btw, it's not that cheap. Just a little bit cheaper to attract parents there. I rather buy from my usual place ie IMM where I know where the books are placed...furthermore there is 20%. Then I just go ga-ga over ONE STOP, ie stationery.

I understand that the Bookfest stretches over 2 weekends. Will the better assessment books still be around at the 2nd weekend? I will be overseas during the first weekend and I have not been to the Bookfest before so I was wondering if it is worth still going down during the second weekend.
