How To Save Money While Shopping for Books

How to save while book shopping!!

1) Barnes & Noble

B&N has its membership program for $25 but it's totally worth it! They send constant emails with coupons and offers and based on my experience, I've noticed that it is a lot easier to order through their online store because as a member, you receive a benefit of actually receiving free shipping and the items are usually delivered pretty quickly.

2) Books A Million - BAM!

I had always been told my an old coworker about BAM but I never visited a location until recently. I found a bargain section that included recent book releases and they also have promotions that include a buy 2, get the 3rd book free which had a nice selection. As I chatted with an employee, she mentioned their membership program that is similar to the one at B&N, however, she mentioned that they do price matching with Amazon which already convinced of becoming a member.

3) Target

Target also has a nice selection of books, I asked an employee and they price match with Amazon and it is a good way to save money on these books, however, they have to be the ones that are delivered by Amazon and not any third party sellers.

4) Amazon

As a student, I was able to get Amazon Prime for half the price and it is worth it when it comes to making orders. When ordering a book, I get it with their quick shipping system and I also have free shipping too which helps me get these books at very affordable prices.

5) Goodwill

Even though their book section isn't particularly organized, looking through their items, you can find a few books in good condition and at an affordable price.
