The Books Box Sale is hands-down my all-time favorite sale. Maybe you buy Rolexes or branded bags, but books are my drug of choice. I find reading a book before bedtime to be incredibly helpful in allowing me to wind down for the day and get away from the blue light from digital devices. This year, the warehouse sale is still held at the Pansing building but I’ve heard it’ll be elsewhere from next year onwards. Actually I don’t really care where it moves to ‘cos I’ll still be going anyway.
The highlight of this sale is obviously to grab a carton box (which Pansing so kindly provides) and fill it to the brim with the books of your choice. They are all English books – lots of kids’ titles, self-help, business, non-fiction, etc. There’s also a wide range of coloring books for adults (is it still a trend?)
Sure, you can buy a handful of books instead of an entire cardboard box full of them. But why would you?
It’ll be 1 for $8 or 3 for $20. Might as well get an entire BOX for just $50!
There’s a flash sale corner as well with books going at a starting price of $1. These are NOT to be combined with those in the main box sale area.
Some things to note:
1) Do bring a trolley so it’s easy to cart those boxes home.
2) Avoid bringing young children if possible ‘cos it’s surely going to be super crowded!
3) Limited parking spaces so feel free to park elsewhere and only drive over after you are done with shopping
