First Day Big Bad Wolf Sale 2011 At MAEPS

We managed to go to the Big Bad Wolf Sale on the first day. Hubby took annual leave just to be available for me to go there on Friday. The place is certainly much bigger compared to the sale venue last year. The only setback is that you have to park your car below the hill and take the tram to go to the Hall A. If you ever been to MAEPS in Serdang for MAHA, then you’ll know how vast the place is. However if you buy too many books (like we did) you can go and take your car and bring it to the exit so that the BBW staffs can help you load the books into your car 🙂

You will be given box to put all your chosen books..(err but we brought our own IKEA bags). The best part of the sale this year is that they have customer service counters where you can let them keep the full box and you take a new one and fill up with more books (clever business idea, huh!) You don’t have to push your heavy box around to browse more titles like last year while worrying that others will steal your books..haha!

As expected my son was not too happy being in a crowded place like that. We have to take turn to entertain him. If only there are more stalls selling snacks and bottled drinks outside of the halls. There was no stool or bench where waiting customers could sit. If there are more kids friendly facilities at the sale, I would have stay longer and buy more..sob sob!

Overall I am glad that we made it to the BBW first day sale. We managed to get a lot of books that our son loves like CARS, Thomas, Handy Manny and Mickey Mouse. It would have cost us a lot more if we were to buy them at the local bookstores at retail price. Thanks BBW for your effort! You have helped subsidizing our beloved son’s early childhood education by making books cheaper and available in Malaysia..(yes, some of the titles are only available by direct import.)
