Guest Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 [ Am sure lots of you will know about the fantastic scholastic warehouse sales that take place each term but thought I would post in case there was anyone who doesn't. I went after school tonight and got £208 of books for £32! Loads of teacher resource books and millions of childrens' pic books and novels for older children. Well worth a visit if in your area - the lady didn't even add my totals up (would've been about £50 if she had), she just shoved them in a cardboard box and said £32! Here is the link to the site which says where the sales are: http://www.scholastic.co.uk/sale.htm/font] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 For those of you going on Sunday, remember to download your £5 off 'last day' voucher. So you'll save even more! Maz PS Spent a rather modest £37 - best bargains were the £15 resource books for £2 each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Wow thanks Ariel. I had no idea they did anything like this - makes the special offers they sometimes send out in their brochures look pretty pathetic by comparison. I went along and spent £50 - though I'd worked out it was more than that - think they just knock off a bit more if you've spent a bit. Great that the titles were popular ones and not just old stuff that wasn't selling - The Gruffola's child, Winnie the witch books etc. Also bought four teacher's resource books - they were £3.50 each, but I know I've bought a couple from the same series and I'm sure they cost me £14.99. I must make a note of the next sale in December - and speak to our Head before hand to try to get some money Harricroft PS Ariel - how did you know about it? I subscribe to Child Ed and I don't think it's been mentioned in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Just got back from sale. Next one is 6th - 9th December Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Yes, I have put the date in my diary! I also bought my Brownies' christmas presents too! Not that I'm usually so organised, but 50p for a lovely little set of rubber stamps was just too irresistible! So actually, I only spent £25 on books for nursery. An even better bargain, now that I think about it! Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verona Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 That'll teach me to log onto FSF EVERY day. I missed the sale - only just logged on and saw East Grinstead, which is near enough for me. Is there going to be another one there in December do you know? Sue J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
