As many of you know, I am all about saving money and as the costs of college increase, I know many of you would also like to save money in the realm of education! Today I read a great tip at www.greenglancy.com about textbook rentals. When I was in school my wife and I were always trying to find the name and ISBN of our textbook before the term began. We used the number to research online and find used books. If we couldn’t find a steal of a deal online then we usually tried the student “resale” store that was open for the first couple of weeks of the term. There may have only been one or two times when we had to pay full price for a textbook.
When the term was over and we no longer needed this expensive book, we then took the same steps to put a little money back in our pocket. We would start by listing them for sale online and then would put them in the “resale” store for a couple of weeks. This allowed us to realize a much less cost for the textbook by the end of the term.
If you are currently attending college classes, have a child attending classes, or know somebody who is attending classes, forward them this information so they can start saving a little money on those textbooks!
