National BookStore Warehouse Sale

First time to go to this National Bookstore Warehouse Sale event at Quezon Avenue, thanks to an informative tip from a FB member of Mommy Bloggers Philippines. We went on a Sunday and it was the last day of the sale. We were there 10am sharp right after we attended the Sunday Mass. Mind you, the place was already jam-packed. The warehouse was in the 4th floor and you can see people coming in hurriedly from the parking lot at the basement of Crossings, riding the elevator to the 3rd floor and then taking the escalator to the 4th floor.




What we got:
1 Look and Find Pirates of the Caribbean book (bnew/sealed) --- P25.00
1Panda Make Your Own Story book (dusty) -- P10.00
1Big Organizer w/ Glossy Cover -- P100
4 pcs Scrapbook Decor @15/each ---P60.00
2 Dozen Gift Wrappers -- P 12.50
2 Electronic Cleaning Net Wipes @P20/each-- P40.00
1 pack Reg Magnet --- P10.00
1 Rubber Exercise Band -- P40.00
1 Artistic Accessory Work Basket (the pail looking thing worth 322.00 originally) -- P50.00
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total -- P347.50


Most of the sale items were books and as I saw from the people there, many were hoarding a LOT of books of all sort: pocketbooks, textbooks, activity books. We were hoping to find Ripley's books, even the previous year editions but found none, so what we just roamed around, looked at each pile if we see there's something interesting and then moved to other piles. The books were a bit dusty but there are still some which are plastic covered.

I was satisfied with what we got after the trip because I know we really saved a LOT but I just wished we have gotten there on the first two days and find something I can sell to Mall Sale Lover shop! That 80% discount was really worth taking the trip. Next year, I'll make sure that we get the schedule beforehand so we can go there and raid the warehouse at the perfect time.
