Cheap textbooks!

School has started again.
But I am not worried about it, I am only taking 1 class this semester=) Last semester was too much for me.
I am in English, it is mostly about poetry (yuck), good thing I have a husband who loves English and can help me=)
(since when does poetry have anything to do with English??)

I just realized that I should probably get my books, since class started last Saturday.
I am not feeling well (sinuses) so I was annoyed that I would have to lug E and drive a half hour to the campus(there is actually a campus 10 minutes from here but I would be too scared in the neighborhood) to buy over-priced books.

My husband came up with a good solution:
call and find out the price and check on-line for cheaper books.
Why didn't I think of that? I'm sick...that's my excuse and I am sticking to it=)

The price of the main book used was $50...yuck.
Well I got 2/3 books on half.com for less than $30, and that was with shipping.
YAHOOO! I just saved a 1 hour round trip drive, a headache from lugging E with me and lots of moolah. ( not to mentioned I would have probably detoured to Target, Toys R Us or event eh mall while out there)

I am a happy camper today=)

Did you have something exciting happen to you today?

yes, I got a job at a hospital! :)

p.s. I get my textbooks on half.com also and my classmates look at me with envy when they find out how much (or LITTLE) I paid!

That's where I bought my video camera:) A great site and I am glad that you were able to find some good deals. College text books are sooo expensive. Does your college bookstore sell used books?
