Metrojaya Pre Stock Take Sales

I popped into the Metrojaya stores last week to check out their month-long Pre Stock Take Sales and have to say that I came away quite impressed with the range of discounts given. Some brands were going at prices up to 70% off whilst other similar departmental stores were selling the same thing for just 50% off. I grabbed some good deals, but missed out on others due to sizing issues. *grin* But all in all, I think this is one sale you should check out!

Malaysia Year End Sale (2007)

We (Malaysia) wanna be known as a better shopping paradise than our Northern and Southern neighbours so we have nationwide sales thrice yearly. Of course, we must end the year with a big bang, so some brilliant chap came out with the Malaysia Year End Sale (2007 edition). That is great news for locals and tourists alike because that means sales, sales and more sales. And sales mean discounts! *grin*

Beyond the normal sales discounts, tourists can get additional privileges by showing their passports and selected shopping malls will have later closing hours. So shopoholics, get your shoes and wallets ready and shop til you drop!

A penny saved...

... is a penny earned.

My shopping kaki Giddy Tiger wants to know the bestest bargain I ever got for RM10. That's pretty hard for me to do, seeing as how most of my stuff costs more than that. LOL! But, fear not, I have some things that are cheap and good, so I shall oblige.

My personal pick is something that gives me great enjoyment for a long period of time. I picked up this book from Borders' bargain books section and fell in love with it straightaway because I had tried to write something similar when I was younger. And, at exactly RM10, it fits the bill perfectly for this tag. Hehehe.

Name something you have bought that was worth every penny you spent, and add it to the list below. Feel free to spice it up with a photo or two. The catch is that the amount must not exceed 10 units in whatever currency you are using.
e.g. If you shop in Malaysia, list down something good you’ve bought for RM10 or less. If you shop in US, list down something you’ve purchased for RM10 or less.

1. Gorgeous ethnic earrings from Beadszone (3 pairs for RM10) - Kaki Shopping
2. Time Stops For No Mouse (book) from Borders @ RM10 - Rinnah's Marketplace

Hush Puppies Happy Hour sales

As a recovering shopaholic who now limits herself to only whatever is truly necessary, I suppose one might be forgiven if I binge every now and then. It is unfortunate that the month of August is the Malaysia Mega Sale month, which means that every shop worth its salt will be having some form of sale. And I would be doing my fellow shopaholics a disservice if I didn't let them know about a truly great bargain, right?

Yesterday, I didn't have to be coaxed to part with some of my hard-earned moolah at the Hush Puppies Happy Hour sales. What's the big deal about this sale? Nothing much except that the good folks at HP decided to reward you for shopping there with a further discount on top of the already discounted price. How does that work out? Take for example a top costing RM99.90 at 50% discount. That's RM49.95. Now tack on the happy hour additional 20% discount to the already discounted price of RM49.95. Your final purchase price? RM39.96. Is that a good deal or what?

There's a catch, of course. The catch is that the additional discount can only be gotten during the pre-set "happy hour", which was between 4.00pm - 5.00pm yesterday. And, the additional 20% discount doesn't apply to all items, just selected ones. As normal, let the buyer beware. :o)

The Hush Puppies Happy Hour sales will be running daily until 02 September 2007 at the Subang Parade outlet (not sure if other outlets also have this promotion).
