Buy them used in good condition!

Used bookstore LEARN TO LOVE 'EM! If you need a certain book for your curriculum that your library doesn't have! Lets face it the library doesn't have all the books we need. And certain books brand new can be pretty expensive. A great way to save money is buying books used in good condition. If you have a used bookstore in your area you can check for your book there, or thrift stores/thrift sales. Twice a year my local library has a used book sale. People donate books to the library, and then the library sells the books. The money it makes from the books goes back into the library. I am all for helping the library out, by buying a few used cheap books from them. You can also look online at Ebay or Amazon. There was a book in my curriculum that they actually did have at the library. And I checked out. It was the 20th century children's book Treasury. My daughter and I loved it. I thought that it would be a great book to add to our collection. I went to boarders book store and they had it there for $40.00 I am sorry but even if the book was a must...I couldn't spend $40.00 on a children's book. (note to self if you buy a book new don't buy them from the book stores like boarders or Barnes and noble. Unless they are having a sale. Because they are the most expensive places to buy book. Look online for the best deals. Walmart and Target usually will be the cheapest locally if you don't want to order online.) So then I went to www.Sonlight.com to see how much it was through them. And it was $30.00 not to bad but, I figured I could find it cheaper. So I looked on Amazon and found it for $25.00 and then I found it in a used in great condition for $6.30! Amazing. I am very happy with the purchased and saved $33.70 if I bought it the first place I found it.

Happy home schooling and Used book finding, and money saving.
