It’s that time of year again. I know many people spend a fortune on books because they don’t know better or they are lazy. What I like to do is look at my syllabus ahead of time (usually your professors will email it to you) or go to your school bookstore and see what books you need for that class. Then go online and purchase them. Most of the time ebay, half and amazon all have better prices than the bookstore because the bookstore has to make some type of profit. Stop letting them eat out of your pocket. Another great way is to talk to your friends and see if they already took the class or know someone who has. That will also save you a lot of $$$. Don’t be afraid to buy used books. You wont use that book for more than 4 months so why pay $100+ for it?
