Holy Moly, can't believe how much books are for school, I forgot about that part. Of course I am quite frugal at times so to get over the sticker shock I had to work it.
I first found the book I needed for my class was $109.00! I then looked at used, $81.00! I then pulled the ISBN # and looked on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Half.com and various of sites you can purchase books. Guess what, the book I need is "custom" to Bellevue College so I was stuck?
Nope, I decided to surf the student discussion boards and there it was the book I needed for $40 cash! My only concern was the post was a few months old but luckily for me the book was still available. I met the owner at BC and forked over the cash and I am a happier person.
My total invested time was approximately 2 hours so saving at least $60 that gives me a 2nd job at $30 an hour, not bad.
Off to golf, sunny Friday, the moons are aligned :)
