If there has been a stack of books, stationery or gadgets sitting on a shopping list for a while, the upcoming POPULAR and HARRIS Big Sale could be a good opportunity to finally pick them up without paying the usual price. From 28 to 31 August 2026, selected POPULAR and HARRIS bookstores in Malaysia will be running a four-day Big Sale featuring discounts across books, stationery, CDs, DVDs, gadgets and IT products.
The promotion is being held at 43 selected POPULAR and HARRIS bookstores, giving shoppers several chances to visit a participating outlet and look for something worth bringing home. The main attraction is the chance to enjoy up to 25% off selected best-selling products, although there are also other offers available throughout the campaign.
For regular POPULAR shoppers, this is the kind of sale worth paying attention to because the discounts are not limited to just one product category. Whether the plan is to restock reading materials, prepare for school, find office stationery or browse for useful gadgets, there could be plenty to discover during these four days.
Storewide Savings Across Popular Categories
One of the more straightforward offers during the promotion is 20% off books, stationery, CD/DVD products and gadgets and IT items, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.
For book lovers, a discount of this size can make a noticeable difference, particularly when buying more than one title. Instead of picking up a single book, shoppers may find it more worthwhile to browse the shelves and see whether there are additional titles they have been planning to buy.
The stationery selection could also make this promotion useful for families, students and working adults. Notebooks, writing supplies, organisers and other stationery items are the sort of everyday products that can be easy to overlook until they are needed. A promotional period can be a convenient time to replenish these supplies while spending less.
The same applies to gadgets and IT-related products. Shoppers who have been considering an accessory or other useful technology item can take the opportunity to check participating stores and see whether the product they want is included in the promotion.
Hot Deals Can Go Even Further
For shoppers who enjoy looking through discounted sections, the promotion also includes Hot Deals items with savings of up to 60%, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.
This could be one of the most interesting parts of the campaign for bargain hunters. A discount of up to 60% means selected items could be significantly cheaper than their usual selling prices. However, as with most clearance or special-deal sections, shoppers should check the products and prices carefully because not every item will receive the maximum discount.
It is worth taking a little extra time to browse instead of heading straight to the checkout. A product that was not originally on the shopping list could turn out to be a useful purchase, particularly if it is something that can be used regularly.
Spend RM150 and Receive a RM10 POPULAR Cash Voucher
There is another offer that could make a bigger shopping trip more rewarding. Customers who spend a minimum of RM150 nett can receive a RM10 POPULAR Cash Voucher, subject to the promotion’s terms and conditions.
This offer may work particularly well for families or shoppers who are already planning to purchase several items. For example, someone buying books for personal reading together with stationery for home, school or work may find it easier to reach the required spending amount.
However, shoppers should always check the detailed terms before making a purchase purely to qualify for the voucher. The aim should be to buy products that are genuinely useful rather than adding unnecessary items simply to reach a spending threshold.
Save More on Selected PWP Items
Another offer to look out for during the Big Sale is the opportunity to save up to 40% on selected PWP items when spending RM60 nett and above.
PWP, or purchase-with-purchase, deals can be useful when the discounted product is something that shoppers already need or have been considering. The important thing is to check which items qualify and whether the final price represents good value.
For bargain hunters, it is worth looking at the PWP selection after reaching the RM60 nett spending requirement. There may be an opportunity to pick up an additional product at a lower price, making the shopping trip more worthwhile.
POPULAR Card and e-Card Members Have Something Extra to Look Forward To
Customers who are applying for or renewing a POPULAR Card or e-Card during the campaign can also receive an exclusive gift, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.
This gives existing members another reason to check the promotion, while shoppers who have been considering membership may want to find out more about the current card or e-Card offer before visiting.
The exclusive gift is available with an application or renewal, so shoppers should check with the participating store for the latest requirements and details.
Why Should Shoppers Visit This POPULAR and HARRIS Sale?
The biggest reason to visit is simple: there are several types of savings running at the same time. Instead of a promotion focused on just one category, this four-day campaign covers books, stationery, entertainment products and selected gadgets and IT items.
The timing is also useful for anyone who has been delaying a purchase. A book that has been on the reading list, stationery needed for work or study, or a gadget accessory that has been sitting in the wishlist could potentially be picked up at a lower price.
The up to 60% off Hot Deals section is another reason to browse in-store. These deals may offer some of the biggest reductions, although availability and participating products will vary.
For shoppers spending RM150 nett, the RM10 POPULAR Cash Voucher adds another potential benefit. Meanwhile, those spending RM60 nett can look into the selected PWP items for savings of up to 40%.
There is also something for POPULAR Card and e-Card customers, with an exclusive gift available for qualifying applications or renewals.
With only four days from 28 to 31 August 2026, shoppers should not leave it too late if there is something specific they want. Popular titles, stationery products and attractive Hot Deals items may have limited availability, so visiting earlier in the promotion period could give shoppers a better selection.
Before heading out, it is advisable to check whether the preferred POPULAR or HARRIS outlet is among the 43 selected participating bookstores and review the full promotional terms. The complete information is available through the campaign link here: https://bit.ly/4g3LtRe

Overall, the POPULAR and HARRIS Big Sale looks like a worthwhile four-day shopping opportunity for Malaysians who enjoy books, stationery and useful lifestyle products. With discounts of up to 25% on selected bestsellers, 20% off across several categories, Hot Deals reaching up to 60% off, plus voucher, PWP and membership benefits, there are several ways to potentially stretch the shopping budget.
The best approach is to make a list before visiting, compare the promotional prices, check the terms and focus on products that are genuinely useful. That way, the sale becomes more than simply an excuse to shop; it can be a practical chance to pick up items that were already needed while taking advantage of limited-time savings.
