It’s back to school for the spring semester or winter quarter for most colleges around the country. That also means it is time to buy some books. While the college bookstore sometimes has some good deals, usually the best deals are found online. This is true whether you are buying or renting textbooks!
The two sites I recommend are Amazon
& Chegg.
Amazon is perhaps the best well know book buying site around. I recommend it because a lot of sellers offer books for as low as $0.01! While you still have to pay shipping, the price is still lower than any bookstore. Also, even though you are buying from a third-party, your purchase is still guaranteed by Amazon!
The next site was actually recommended by a reader of The College Investor, and this is Chegg. This site actually allows you to rent textbooks. This site may be the best bet for individuals who need expensive books, such as science, medical, and law students. These books, even used, can still be very expensive, so renting may be the best option. Not only can you rent the book, but in some cases, shipping is free both ways (when buying and when returning).
I hope this continues to help you save money, so you can start your investing off right this new year!
