Books, back to school & saving money $$

This is a sponsored post.

Can you believe it?  It’s almost time for back to school.

You can already see signs of Fall everywhere in stores.  Back to school supplies are in all the major aisles.  Football teams are on the fields scrimmaging. Cheerleaders are flying high, practicing their jumps, and band players are finding their groove & rhythm. Soon, the interstates will be traveled by college kids heading off to college & preparing to move in the dorms.

I loved college life.  It was such an exciting time for me.  My parents naturally, had a budget set up for me.  That budget included any books, fees I had to pay & then after all of that was said & done, the little that was left over was my money to do laundry & then to play on for the rest of the semester.  Which wasn’t much, I tell you.

When I was contacted by Campus Book Rentals I couldn’t believe that there was such a company that actually rented out books!  The very next thing that I found so surprising was that you could highlight in the books that you rent!
For the record, I am a major highlighter & sharpie kind of gal!


There’s also free shipping both ways, flexible renting periods & the savings of renting books is about 40%-90% off the bookstore price!  Umm, hello.  That could have been a lot of extra cashola in my pockets for some socializing while I was in college!  Or for some starbuckies, for sure!  😉

I majored in Business Administration when I was in college.  I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, I would have taken some different classes had I known where I would be today.  Out of curiosity I searched Campus Book Rentals site just to see what’s available & I was so surprised!  For example there’s:

Design Sponge* at Home, by blogger Grace Bonney
Better Photo Basics, by Jim Mitke
The Handmade Marketplace, by Kari Chapin

Their selection is great, plus you can’t beat their prices.  In fact, they guarantee them!  Here’s a video about some questions & answers you may have.

If you have kids going off to college or you yourself are taking some classes, consider  Campus Book Rentals for the ‘ole college budget!  I don’t think they could have made the process any easier with free shipping both ways!

This is a sponsored post.  I was paid for this review and post.  I have not personally used this company for any book rentals.  But realizing my readers base is from all sorts of households & being the time of year that it is, it is my hope that this information & company will benefit some of you and the need to save money.
