National Book Store Ali Mall Warehouse Sale (August 13-17, 2014)

September 1st just rolled in, and haven't updated this blog yet. Oh dear! Here, I'm going to feature a steal I had when I went to the rotating National Bookstore Warehouse Sale in Alimall, Cubao. I went there in the last day, August 17,  because I got no money to go there on their first day ~ Well anyways, that doesn't matter, I wasn't even expecting to get something from there at first...

But here, you can show that I got 4 items:

I cannot remember the order of the items that I grabbed first, but let's feature the stickers first:


What I know, is that the first time that I saw such stickers several years ago, was that I need them... bad. For my journal.

I was reluctant to purchase them at first, because my mentality then was:

"I don't need it."
Until I realized that I can give this as a gift.

So I bought it.

ORIGINAL PRICE: Php 44.50


These Pocket Stickers are a cute and convenient way
to keep precious notes or small memorabilias
which are difficult to adhere to your page.

They're sure to keep your souvenirs for a long, long time.

Very easy to use. Simply peel off and attach
to your scrapbook layouts or craft projects.

BOUGHT AT: Php 10.00
That's right. Only for Php 10.00 Consider this as a steal, o right!

SAVED: PHP 34.50
Made in China.
Distributed by: FILSTAR DISTRIBUTORS CORP.


Followed by Scrapbooking Travel Stickers. These "I've been there!" stickers are three-sheet ones. 
It includes 1 icon, 1 journaling, and 1 border sticker sheets.

ORIGINAL PRICE: PHP 37.00

BOUGHT FOR ONLY: PHP 10.00
SAVED: PHP 27.00
Honestly, I find this brand expensive. Buying three sheets of stickers for Php 37.00 is somehow pricey for me, even if it's for scrapbooking. I could probably buy 3-5 sheets for less than that price. 


Let's move on to the BOOKS.


The instant that I saw this book, 
I immediately grabbed it in a snap, 
thinking that somebody might grab it as well.

Why?



Well because'
it's in my friggin wishlist!
I mean, a book that I have considered buying...
when I was younger (3 years ago).

It was only sold for PHP 50.00


This book is written by Alex Lacson,
which rings a bell for me. 

It's ORIGINAL PRICE: Php 150.00
BOUGHT FOR: Php 50.00



I was really having a headache, until I saw this book on the corner of the table, under lying books.

And do you know what this is??

It's the Eight Edition of Advertising and Promotion book
An Integrated Marketing Communications Perspective.

During college, I was wishing that I could buy this book. It was expensive for me (note: not this edition, but the latest one) that I didn't bothered buying it.


UNTIL 
I JUST SAW 
IT


AND INSTANTLY
I took this heavy book in my arms.


It's ORIGINAL PRICE??

PHP 1,049.00

It was marked down to Php 30.00
Until it was Php 10.00

SAVED: PHP 1,039.00
What a Happy Shopper I am!




So here are the following items, bought only for PHP 80.00
PHP 55.00

Just realized that the 12 LITTLE THINGS was a Sale book,
making it only Php 25.00

And that's another steal!
