6 Things You Need to Know Before Going to Big Bad Wolf Bacolod

WE ASKED. THEY LISTENED. 

Finally, the World’s Biggest Book Sale, Big Bad Wolf Books, continues its grand tour around the Philippines as it now sets to take over Bacolod City with irresistible literary offerings from November 3 to 12, 10 AM to 10 PM at SM City Bacolod, North Wing, Ground Floor.  

As someone who's crazy about books, my heart jumped with joy when I first heard the news that they are coming here in Bacolod.  I know my fellow bookworms and bibliophiles feel the same way too!

Anyway, let us all make the most out of the experience and today, we are sharing with you 6 things you need to know before going to the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 

1. Unbelievable Discounts Await: Up to 95% Off!

Just in time for the holiday season, Big Bad Wolf Books is bringing brand-new books to the City of Smiles. Shoppers will be thrilled to discover exclusive discounts of up to 95%, with titles as low as P20! 

2. Expect thousands of books available! 

The choices are very extensive -- you can expect books from different genre: self-help, young adult, fantasy, horror/ mystery, reference, children and a lot more.

Books from our favorite authors like Paulo Coelho, Rick Riordan, Dan Brown, Mitch Albom, Neil Gaiman, James Dashner, Stephen Covey will also be available. 

There are DK, Miles Kelly, Disney and Lego books for kids too! 

For kids-at-heart and fan collectors, you can expect to see DC/ Marvel graphic novels,  Starwars and Harry Potter/ Wizarding World books. (I got almost all of my Harry Potter companion books from BBW and they are such a steal!) 

INSIDER INFO: We know this is the 4th leg of the book tour but be assured that these books are NOT simply leftover stocks from the Cebu and Iloilo leg. BBW has shipped a fresh batch of books (a.k.a. big container vans) exclusively for Bacolodnons and Negrenses to enjoy. 

3. Your book shopping is for a GOOD CAUSE.

Big Bad Wolf Books is not just about selling books; it's about fostering a love for reading. In this spirit, the book sale proudly brings its Red Readerhood initiative to Bacolod, in partnership with Gawad Kalinga, providing an opportunity for learning to those who need it most by pledging 1,000 books. 

So if you are feeling a little guilty going over your budget, take comfort that this is for a good cause. (LOL!) and you most certainly deserve all the books you want. 

4. It's a holiday gift shopping destination! 

I know many of us prefer to give books as gifts especially for kids, and Big Bad Wolf offers books for all ages. Surely, you will find a perfect gift that will fit your budget. 

Some of favorite finds are: 

  • Illustrated Classics
  • Activity Tin Cans
  • Board/ Bath Books for Babies
  • 3D/4D Augmented Books
  • Treasury Books 

This is indeed the perfect opportunity to stock up on gifts and reading materials for the holidays. 

5. A Fresh and Innovative Shopping Experience

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale brings an exciting twist to your shopping experience! The layout at SM City Bacolod has been meticulously designed to provide readers with a fresh and innovative arrangement. This thoughtfully curated setup will elevate the browsing experience, ensuring that book lovers can easily explore the vast collection, discovering new titles of all genres across SM City Bacolod’s North Wing, Ground Floor. See and experience it for yourself! 

6. Zero (0%) Installment Promo  

Another key partnership that keeps on giving is Big Bad Wolf Books’ continued collaboration with Metrobank, providing cardholders with a 0% installment promo for three (3) months with a minimum purchase of P3,000. 

If you don't have Metrobank, that's still okay. They also accept other credit/ debit card payments.

Tips on How to Avoid the Holiday Rush Stress


The holiday season is a joyful time, but it can also be filled with stress, especially when thinking of gift ideas for your loved ones and doing your holiday shopping. The pressure to find the perfect gifts, navigate crowded stores, and manage your budget can turn the season into a headache.

With some planning, you can enjoy a stress-free holiday shopping experience, discover exciting gift ideas, and even consider convenient payment options to make the most of your budget. These five Wais Tips shared by Home Credit, the country’s leading consumer finance company, can help you breeze through the process of buying presents and avoid the hassle of the holiday rush!


Make a list.

Santa is not the only one who benefits from making a list! Create a detailed shopping list that includes the names of the people you want to give gifts to, your gift ideas for each of them, and the shops where you can find those items. Having a list will keep you organized, help you stay on track, and reduce the likelihood of forgetting anyone or anything.


Set a budget.

Before you start shopping, establish a clear and realistic budget for your holiday spending. Check your list and allocate a specific amount for each person. Sticking to your budget will help you avoid overspending and refrain from experiencing financial strain during the holiday season.


Start early.

The early bird gets the stress-free shopping experience! Don't wait until the last minute to start your holiday gift shopping, and purchase gifts well in advance of the holidays. Starting early allows you to take advantage of sales and discounts, avoid the holiday rush, and ensures that you have plenty of time to find the perfect gifts without feeling rushed or pressured.


Explore installment deals.


One of the best-kept secrets of hassle-free holiday shopping is taking advantage of installment deals. Home Credit is your go-to destination for this. They offer an extensive range of 0% interest rate installment deals on a variety of products.
