After college
tuition,
textbooks are the next big drain on your wallet. It
seems pretty outrageous to think that a book like Fifty Shades of Grey costs under $10 to
download, but a hardcover textbook will set you back $200 or more.
I personally know how expensive textbooks can be; when I first started college I had a credit card for
the sole purpose of buying books. I was charging $500 a semester and was barely
able to pay the minimum credit card payments.
I would love to go back and finish my Associates Degree , but the cost continues to keep me from returning to the classroom. So when Campus Book Rentals emailed me about doing a write up, I was curious to see for
myself if renting is truly a cheaper way to go. So I picked a book (Campbell Biology - 9th Edition) and compared the prices and here are the results:
Hardcover from Amazon: $163.97
Kindle Edition: $104.07Used Hardcover from Half.com: $99.95
Campus Book Rentals: $47.88-130 days / $43.57-85 days
Apart from the obvious savings, FREE shipping and a 30 day guarantee, I love that you can highlight! I am a highlighting machine; it’s the only way to insure that I’ll retain all of the information. Note: If you do decide to rent your next textbook make sure that all supplementary materials like CDs and workbooks are included!
Comparison shop between all of the different methods to insure that you are spending the least amount possible on textbooks!
Do you have any additional tips on saving money on college textbooks?
Can't remember where I saw it, but they actually have disappearing highlighters now. I think they're supposed to last 3-6 months, and then it slowly fades so you can resell your textbooks easier.
ReplyDeleteHi Bekah! Nice to meet you here! I like your story and completely understand what you are talking about. I have already finished my studies and I know how books are expensive today. But, as for me, I prefer to have all books personally not to rent them. And you know what I have found a solution to this issue. Going accidently on 24/7 cash loans, I have taken it without any doubt. It was a minimum amount of money but it helped me to buy textbooks. Now I can reread something which interests me. Hope to read more about your experience!
