BOOK Fairs

[sleepyqueen]

i am surprised there isn’t any 20% discount vouchers in the booklet.

They decided to do away with it?
Thanks for the feedback, i guess I will give it a miss to go there

Yes, i was also surprised that there isn’t 20% voucher inside this time. Usually, i will use the 20% to buy stationery + assessment books.


Maybe Popular has decided that with Singaporean’s kiasu mentality, with or without the 20% parents will still spend on assessment books ! Hope they will bring it back in Dec issue…

Many thanks for pointing me to this discussion.


Decided to give the Popular Expo Sale a miss...have the feeling that will not have time to fully utilize all the assessment books so far.....Some more got test papers not done also....

Using some of the test papers to occupy my girl's time during this holiday :rotflmao:

No lah not only you , i try not to go expo too due to its parking charges and so far away.

cool_hi:

if u are not buying much & stay far,& will be driving there, then not worth to go..coz u will be wasting petrol, & worse, the parking at expo NO longer has per entry aft 5pm/6pm..so fyi, if u are there for 2 hr=$2.80, 3hr=$5.40..

I was there for past 2 weekends..1st weekend we went for Home & Design Fair ard 5pm, to look ard for interior designers,park for ard 5hr=$10.60!!! in the past with per entry rate, will be only ard $2-3!!

this weekend, didn't want to go, but girl wanted to go Popular Fair, so we were there for 3hr, paid $5.40 for parking!! & bought a bit of things only think the savings is not worth, coz we stay west,very far!!

Seriously, I think it is not right for Expo to eliminate Per entry parking..coz being an exhibition hall, it doesn't seem right for people to go & support the fairs, but can't shop in peace, having to worry abt parking..especially, I am VERY sure, Expo is earning A LOT from rentals already!! can't help but feel very 'strangled' by all these 'silent' increase in cost of living!! sigh!!but well, maybe I am more 'ngiao'(calculative) regarding parking, so others may not agree with me..It's just my own personal opinion..& just hoping to raise this change in parking, in case some others who may mind, but has not noticed

For me, I will not go Expo anymore, unless really bo bian..will prefer to go Suntec instead!! hope the dec Popular fair will b held at Suntec!!
