Okay, now that Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday are all out of the way and you have a jumpstart on shopping for the holidays, NC State students, faculty, staff and fans set their sights on the biggest sale of the year at the two NC State Bookstores locations.

The annual “Madness Sale” is slated for Friday, with most merchandise in the store on sale for 40 percent off. The sale excludes textbooks, yearbooks, computers, software, select computer products and electronics, stamps, gift cards, special orders, class rings, diploma frames and graduation apparel.
