Warehouse Sale – Gap, Banana Republic, Guess, La Senza MORE!
Yes folks! Its that time again for the FJ Benjamin warehouse clearance sale. The last time I was there, I was one of the early birds and I only picked up 1 Banana Republic Dress at RM200. Not cheap.
However, I like going to this sale to pick up nice cheap(ish) La Senza underwear and pyjamas. I wonder if La Senza have wondered why their stores never seem to have people walking in to buy products. Its because everyone is waiting for the warehouse sale to stock up!! Haha…
I offered some tips for those planning to go shopping at clothes warehouse sales before but here’s another:-
- Try to wear contact lenses instead of glasses. In the process of pulling on clothes over your head in public and in the rush of trying on clothes so you can do some serious damage to your glasses. In the last sale I saw a girl’s glasses drop off her face while she pulled off the top she was trying on. Lucky for her it fell onto a soft pile of clothes or it would have been an expensive shopping trip!
This latest FJ Benjamin sale comes at a good time – just before Christmas so now’s a great time to pick up Christmas presents at discounted prices! Great especially for kids wear and watches and underwear.
The presale for HSBC credit card holders is on 28 November 2008 (additional 10% discount when paying with HSBC credit card) and the sale is open to the public on 29 and 30 November 2008.
Venue: Orchid Ballroom, Level 2 Parkroyal Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Time: 10am-7pm
This time, I’m not queueing in the morning. I’ll just try my luck later in the day and maybe take the Monorail instead of driving because I can just imagine the traffic and the jams!
Good luck everyone who’s going!
Crocs Sale was such a disappointment!
I was quite interested in the Crocs Sale that I wrote about before this. I thought I’d be able to pick up some bargains because 50% discounts are nothing to sneeze at! The ad said that it was on until 7pm at Amcorp Mall, so I took a drive there around lunch time, getting there at about 1pm.
When I got there, I was really happy because the digital signage showed that there was parking available outside. I also spotted a nice empty lot that no one was heading towards, so it was all good.
However, when I got into the mall, there was nothing to be seen at the concourse area. I thought I was mistaken, so I went downstairs where I knew there was an empty area for fairs and stuff. Still, nothing. Coming back upstairs, I asked at the information counter and was told that the sale was over!
What? What sort of sale was this?! I was very disappointed. There was no evidence that a sale was there at all. The are was empty of tables, people or products. Sigh… Must have only had what? 10 pairs of shoes to sell? 
Estee Lauder Staff Sale
Not my Estee Lauder Loot
Ok its that time of year when girls go crazy and queue outside hotel ballroom doors at 5am. I kid you not. If you can get your hands on an Estee Lauder Staff Sale invite, get it and be there at 5am or miss your turn in queue, or end up queuing for miles.
The last time I was there, the queue snaked right OUT of the building onto the road. THAT’S how popular the sale is. And why not? When you can get brands like Estee Lauder, Clinique, Bobbi Brown and MAC at CHEAP prices? This is a sale for “Staff” but its open to the public IF YOU CAN GET AN INVITE.
Will I be there? Not this year. I’ll be away.
But if you are going, have fun and bring lots of money!!
