FOREVER21 SALE Experience at Megamall

I just would like to share again my shopping experience and some pictures at the Forever21 SALE in Megamall last Friday, Apr 28th....

Although almost all the items were at 10% off...

Still, they have designated one area where all the Sale items (at 30% to 50% off) were displayed.... It was at the right wing of the main entrance.

Having done so made it more organized...

The sales crew were always busy replenishing the sale items...and they said that new items will be brought in on Saturday (Apr 30) and Sunday (May1).  That means, you need not worry if you were not able to go last Friday, there would still be something for you till Sunday.... 

 I found some ladies' tank tops as low as P99...

 This cute skirt now at P432.50....before it was P865!

 This batwing-sleeve cardigan at P469... 

And this pretty shirt for P249 only!

However, queuing took me one hour (didn't include the queue to the fitting room which was also very long)  to the cashier!  And this is what turns me off!!!!  When Forever21 opened in Makati, I wasn't able to buy anything because of these long queues!  This time I decided to apply my endurance and patience just to know how much time I will spend queuing up!  Although the queue was properly manned and I think they had added 2 cashiers already, I do think SM Management should find a way to address these long queues... more so, during Sale periods.... 

Markdown Madness at The Enterprise Center Makati

SM Malls 3-Day SALE

It's SM Megamall, SM Harrison, SM Bacoor, SM Baguio, SM Davao, SM Naga, SM Muntinlupa SM City Novaliches and SM City Batangas 3-DAY SALE on April 29 - May 1, 2011!!!  SM Advantage Cardholders can enjoy additional 10% discount from 10am to 12nn on April 29th...

It's SM City Rosales, SM City Taytay, SM City Lipa, SM City San Lazaro Labor Day Weekend SALE on April 29 - May 1, 2011, as well.

I don't know what's the difference between the 3-day Sale and the Labor Day 3-day Sale.  Well, I think with the Labor Day Weekend Sale, there's no additional 10% discount for SMAC members. What do you think?

But, what is important is that, there's a SALE... and that will be good enough for me.

Happy Shopping !!!
