I had looked up my textbooks for the coming semester on the website for the bookstore I normally buy my books from. They were $277.00 all together. I was freaking out about how I was going to buy my books (I have to use my refund from the Spring for my rabies shots).
Then I looked on Half.com and the same books were a total of $92.00. So I snatched them up!! Dude, I just saved almost $200!!! One book was $62 and I found it on Half.com for $0.75. I'm so glad I didn't have to pay $118 for a Chemistry book!! Praise God!
Now all I need to get in the Spring is my Chemistry lab manual (made by the University) and probably a notes packet for my Livestock Evaluation class. Both together should be under $40.
So for you kids in college or about to be, here's a word of wisdom: Buy your textbooks online. You will save a lot of money.
