How to Find College Textbooks for Cheap
The smell of a new book can be euphoric. But that sweet scent can turn sour once you find out how much it costs.
I know the feeling of reaching into your pocket to find nothing but lint… it’s frustrating. But college texts no longer have to be a pain in your bu-ahem!-dget. Read on to find out how to find discount textbooks.
Cheap Used Textbooks at School
- Visit the school bookstore – Most college book stores have a section for used books at lower prices. Get there at least a month before school begins for a good selection.
- Check bulletin boards at school – See if other students are selling the books you require. They need to beef up their own cash flow for texts, so selling to savvy students like you is ideal.
How to Find Cheap Textbooks Online
I suggest you make a list of all the books you need and write down their ISBN numbers to make searching faster. Check out these online stores for cheap textbooks and enjoy an even greater deal by using our free coupons for them:
- Alibris - $10 off off orders over $100, $20 off $200 & more (get coupons – expiring Sept. 16)
- Amazon.com – free Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25 (get the coupon)
- AbeBooks – 10% off new & used books (get the coupon – expires Sept. 19)
Another way to save time and money on texts is by visiting BestBookBuys. Type in the ISBN, author or title of the book you need and instantly get a list of online stores that have the book for less. Compare prices all in one place, then come back and check our bookstore coupons for deals.
Don’t forget about the easiest way to find cheap texts… social networking sites! How fast do friends respond to your status updates on Facebook? Well, whether you use Facebook, MySpace or Twitter, all you have to do is ask who might have a book you need. Done and done!
Borrow or Rent Your Texts
- Borrow – If you’re good at returning books on or before the due date to avoid late fees, this is a great option. Visit your school or local library to see if they offer required texts. Many libraries let you renew your book to keep it for longer periods of time. The only downfall with this option is that there will be a limited amount of books offered, so you may not always find what you need.
- Rent – Chegg.com saves the day! You can rent a multitude of textbooks from them for a low fee. Texts are shipped to you quickly, and when you’re done with them, ship them back for free. If you’re an environmentalist, you’ll love that they plant a tree every time you rent with them. With the help of Chegg.com, students have saved more than two-hundred billion dollars.
Printable Books or Chapters Online
- Printable Books – When you do your research, you’ll find textbooks for cheap… or free! Thanks to online companies like Project Gutenburg, students are saving a bunch of cash. They offer printable eBooks online for free. There’s no need to register or pay any kind of membership either. All they ask is that you leave even a small donation that you can afford so that they can keep providing this free service.
- Printable Chapters - This is great if you join a reading group. Everyone can read an assigned chapter from a text and make notes to share. And iChapters offers eBooks and eChapters that you can print out for a low fee.
You’re dishing out enough cash for tuition, transit, school supplies and everyday expenses. So save on one of the most expensive things on your list, your texts.

Top 5 Labor Day Weekend Activities
Yikes, where does the time go? June felt like it was just the other day, and now Labor Day is right around the corner. Not that a long weekend is anything to complain about. (Seriously, if you ever catch me complaining about a day off work, it’s probably my goateed evil twin.)
If you haven’t had time or just plain forgot to plan for any Labor Day weekend events, unclench your stomach! I’ve compiled a list of the top 5 getaways you can enjoy this fine Labor Day weekend. So just kick back and get inspired:
1. The Beach
There’s really no better place to hold your Labor Day weekend than a beach. Bring your friends, a light snack and some coolers, and watch the sun set over the water. Even if you don’t live near a beach, you can hit up Google Maps and make it a full weekend trip. If you’re in need of transportation, be sure to take advantage of cheap Labor Day weekend travel with a car rental place like Budget (use this free coupon to get 10% off a weekly rental).
2. The Casino
Feeling lucky? If sun and sand aren’t your thing, grab a group of your best buds and hit the slots. Casino lodgings are generally less expensive than hotels, not to mention there’s 24-hour room service if you’re feeling extravagant. Just keep the ‘Poker Face’ references to a minimum. Your friends will thank you. Book through Orbitz using our 5% off a hotels coupon.
3. The State Fair
The best State Fairs take place around Labor Day. With rides, animals, games and fireworks, it’s pleasure overload for the senses. If you’re not sure where to start, check out this online listing for fairs near you. And don’t forget the most indulgent reason to go: State Fair food. The delicacies range from cotton candy to chocolate-covered bacon. Also, fried pickles on a stick? Snooki approves.
4. The Day Spa
Who says all Labor Day weekend events have to center around being active and social? How tiring. Check out the specials at your local day spas. A mud bath, massage and aromatherapy sound much more appealing than an awkward barbecue with your grand aunt and second cousin twice-removed, don’t they?
5. The Full-Fledged Vacation
Think outside your city or town – the world is too big not to explore. Be spontaneous and plan a group trip somewhere exotic and sunny like Fiji, or romantic and charming like Italy. It’s not as expensive as you think, especially if you book all your day trips, tours and sightseeing adventures through an excursion site like Viator. And if you want a little extra cash for souvenirs, use our free coupon to get 7% off tours and vacation activities.
