Kids Going to College? Considered Renting Textbooks?


I stumbled onto this money-saving website today and found the idea quite appealing. Despite the fact that my own kids are many years away from leaving the nest and heading to a University... finding ways to save money when they do... gets me excited. lol It's like Benjamin Franklin once said... "A penny saved is a penny earned". I'm a firm believer in this philosophy.

So, the site is: www.BookRenter.com and they're all about renting college textbooks, w/ free shipping (both ways) and for those of you who've attended college level courses, you know just how expensive those books are. You can easily spend $1000 a year just on textbooks... no joke.

I've never used this site personally... I think I was on Kommando.com when I found it... Kim Kommando's website (self-proclaimed digital goddess! lol).

Let me know if it works for you!

I wonder what college textbooks will be like when my little kiddos go to college. I'm sure everything will be digital by then!
