Getting Ready for School

[amarie24]

Things I don't like: Seeing that my college's bookstore offers a whole nursing package of books that total to about $500 and then offers the pharmacology book separately for about $200. So, books for this semester alone could've come to $700.

Things I do like: Going through my nursing packet that I got from the ADN office after I called to confirm my enrollment, and using both my book list there and the ISBN numbers from my college's bookstore's website...to then scour Amazon and shop there instead. I find cheaper, earlier edition, & used versions of 98% of my books in the space of one evening.

Things I also like: All of my books, plus Pinky's new charger (couldn't find any in-store, -lolsobs-), only come up to about $60, a far, far cry from $700.

I like, I like.

Wow, a savings of (I don't want to do math so insert the right percentage, here)!

Have you peaked into any of those books as of yet?

Well done you!

That's some serious skills.

Well done! 90+% savings is a great way to start things.

Great job, excellent bargain-hunting! Textbook prices sound like they're totally off the wall and into another building...
