It’s Tuesday, and I found some more ways to be frugal with these Thrifty Tuesday Finds:
Stretching the mighty dollar idea:
Stretching the mighty dollar idea:
Last week I talked about my magazine addiction. This week I'll share another one of my many addictions - BOOKS. The only problem is that all 7 of us in this family have a book addiction. We love to read, and we love to continually build our growing library of books. The truth is we have officially run out of bookshelf space for all these book addicts in our home.
My parents also have the book addiction - just ask them about the many, many heavy boxes of books we had to move as children each time we moved to a new home. You would think I would have learned some sort of lesson about being addicted to books.
So where does the addicted-to-book-buying family purchase their books?
1. First, check out http://www.cheapestbookprice.com/ and search for the cheapest online places to purchase a particular book you are looking for.
2. Second, always check out your total price including shipping. Amazon has FREE shipping when you purchase $25.00 or more from them directly.
3. My favorite online sites for used books: http://www.half.com/, http://www.ebay.com/, and http://www.amazon.com/.
4. My favorite online sites for new books: http://www.amazon.com/ http://www.cbd.com/, Christianbook.com, and http://www.bookcloseouts.com/.
5. My favorite stores to shop for books: Costco, Borders bargain section (especially for kids books and cookbooks), TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Half Price Books, and any outlet bookstore I come across in my travels.
6. Don’t forget when you shop AMAZON , 24/7 MOMS can benefit and recieve credit to purchase MORE give-a-ways for the 24/7 MOMS so be sure to use our AMAZON search box on the right side of this blog when shopping Amazon.
