Decent deal at Borders: Buy a book, eat the food

Borders is offering 30% off one full-priced book (valid till tomorrow, 19th March).

Borders is also offering 20% off for teachers and students for one full-priced book. Show some form of ID for the discount. Valid for three days, from today till Friday 20th March.

With any purchase made at Borders, children meals at Borders Bistro (Wheelock Place) are at half-price with an order of a main meal. Valid from 14th to 22nd March.

All offers come with an additional 10% of total bill, if you are a preferred member.

Fair Value for Money: 4 out of 5 stars

I feel the $20.40 I spent signing up as a Borders Preferred Member well-spent. Although a 10% discount may not sound much, Borders extends the additional 10% off the total bill during special offers (like the ones highlighted here) for their preferred members. Which means I usually get between 20-40% off my bill. Sweet.

The half-price meal for children at Borders Bistro comes with a (kids’ size) smoothie / milk shake. Children meals without the discount are between $7.50 to around $12. I’m undecided if I would order another children’s meal again – some of the starters / salads sound far more tempting. But I would order the pasta i had again – the Gamberoni Bistro pasta ($16.50) – generous portion, tasty, fresh.

Feel good factor: 4 out of 5 stars

Nice to browse through Borders on a (non-crowded) weekday. The Bistro features an open-concept kitchen, so sit outside if you don’t care much for kitchen smells.

Fuss Free factor: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Very little fuss – need only print the Borders Offer from email to present to cashier.
