Caffeine is not good for your health at the same time you get to save money. I agree with slashing your coffee habit. Caffeine is not good for your health at the same time you get to save money.

First ask your relatives and friends or the local library if they have the book and borrow it. If not, try a used bookstore or library book sale and see if you can get a used edition real cheap. If that fails, try the front of the mall bookstore -- most retail booksellers have a bargain section. Chances are, many of the classic titles will be there for maybe $3.99. Most profs don't care what edition you read. However, if there is a Q&A section or reader's guide in the college bookstore edition that the prof is gonna use in class, ask if you can just photocopy someone else's before you pay full price for it. Nine times out of 10, though, the prof doesn't assign those special sections and any version of the title will do.

Employees got employee discounts plus double discounts at Christmastime. Our particular chain also had this club you could join for a nominal fee, and it'd give you 10 to 20% discounts. Our manager was real liberal with the discounts and permitted us to take both the employee discount and the club deal. A coworker cleaned up on this. He was a college student, and before each semester he'd register for his classes early, then ask his profs what books they would assign. He'd use his club card, employee discount and Christmas discount and order the books by their ISBN #s for a real cheap price. On that club thing after you spend X number of dollars, you'd get another book free or half price or something....and you can imagine how quickly that kicked in with his texts! He'd get brand-new books that were dirt cheap for himself, his roomate and his girlfriend. He'd try to buy as many as he could in December, as much as a year ahead. After the classes ended, his girlfriend would go sell their books at the campus bookstore and they'd make some cash back. So college students, if you can possibly get hired at a bookstore, do it! Or maybe talk one of your relatives in to getting a job there. I used to work in a mall bookstore. Employees got employee discounts plus double discounts at Christmastime.

I would go through the used textbooks and find the ones that had the least marks and buy those. Some of them had barely been touched and others were totally abused, so it paid to show up early and get the good ones.
