If there’s one event that bookworms, parents, teachers, students, and collectors across Malaysia look forward to every year, it’s the POPULAR Sale. It’s back again in 2025—running from 23 May to 9 June 2025—with a flurry of irresistible discounts across books, educational materials, multimedia, gadgets, stationery, and so much more.
For many, this is not just a shopping event; it’s an annual tradition. Whether you’re a regular reader looking to refresh your bookshelf, a parent gearing up for back-to-school essentials, or someone who appreciates a good deal on quality tech gadgets, the POPULAR Sale 2025 is tailor-made to help them save more while getting exactly what they need.
Let’s dive into why this year’s POPULAR Sale is worth marking on your calendar—and why missing it would mean missing out.
A Book Lover’s Dream: 20% Off with Purchase of Two or More
Books are the heart of POPULAR, and this year, they’re giving loyal readers plenty to get excited about. With 20% off all books when buying two or more, it’s the ideal moment to stock up on bestselling novels, children’s storybooks, educational guides, cookbooks, self-help titles, or even coffee table books that elevate your living room aesthetic.
And this isn’t limited to just a specific genre. Fiction, non-fiction, kids’ titles, academic resources, and even local publications are included—so long as you grab at least two, you’re in for a worthwhile discount.
It’s also a great time to buy ahead for birthdays, school prizes, or festive gifts. With savings like these, one can easily build a personal library or share the joy of reading without breaking the bank.
CD-RAMA Deals: Music & Movies at Up to 15% Off
While digital streaming may be widespread, physical media still holds a certain charm—especially for collectors. CD-RAMA continues to cater to that niche audience with quality DVDs, Blu-rays, and CDs. During this sale, shoppers get 10% off all CD-RAMA items, and POPULAR Members enjoy a bigger 15% off.
It’s a rare opportunity for K-pop fans, film buffs, or audiophiles to complete their collections or discover new releases at lower prices. From timeless classics to contemporary hits, there’s a good mix to explore.
Purchase-With-Purchase (PWP) Promotions on Gadgets & Stationery
In addition to books and CDs, the POPULAR Sale is rolling out value-packed PWP offers. Simply spend RM60 nett or more, and you unlock access to fantastic add-ons at significantly reduced prices.
Here are the two standout deals:
-
SANDISK Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C 128GB – RM53 (Usual Price: RM89)
-
UZSPACE Double Wall Insulated Tumbler 1250ml – RM59.90 (Usual Price: RM129.90)
These are not just filler items; they’re genuinely useful. Students and working professionals will appreciate the USB drive for data storage, while the insulated tumbler is perfect for long days at the office or school.
These types of PWP deals elevate the whole shopping experience by giving shoppers more value for their money.
Exclusive Perks for POPULAR Members
If someone hasn’t yet signed up for a POPULAR Card or e-Card, now’s the time. Not only do members benefit from additional discounts during the POPULAR Sale 2025, but they also receive a free exclusive gift upon signing up or renewing their membership.
It’s a reward in itself, and one that makes being a POPULAR Member more worthwhile, especially for frequent shoppers or parents with school-going children.
The membership unlocks privileges throughout the year, but during the sale season, it becomes even more valuable.
Multiple Ways to Shop: Online or In-Store
Convenience is key in today’s world. POPULAR understands that not everyone can make it to a physical bookstore, so all the great deals are also available online via the POPULAR Online Store.
Whether you’re in Penang, Johor, Sabah, or even shopping during a break at work, you can still tap into the sale prices without leaving your home.
And for those who love the feel of flipping through pages before buying, visiting the nearest POPULAR or HARRIS bookstore still offers that tactile joy—and the same promotions.
Why Should You Go?
Beyond just grabbing discounts, the POPULAR Sale is an experience. It’s a celebration of learning, creativity, and exploration. Every aisle brings discoveries—books to nourish the mind, gadgets to improve productivity, stationery that inspires students, and music or films that bring joy.
Here’s why people should consider heading to the POPULAR Sale 2025:
-
Save More, Buy More: With 20% off books (buy 2 and above) and other tiered discounts, one can stretch their Ringgit further.
