It’s that time of year again; time to stock up on texts for university. Dreading the dent it’s gonna leave in your bank count? I don’t blame you. But I can help you!
I was in university for 5 years, and my books were a huge $500 of my budget for the year (sometimes more!) By year three, I found new ways to buy books in Canada on the cheap. Now I’m sharing my tips with you…
Cheap Used Textbooks at School
- School bookstore - Most university book stores provide a section on used books at lower prices. The problem is: they can sell out fast, so try getting there at least one month before the semester begins.
- Hallway Bulletin Boards – Most students are in the same boat as you are: saving up to buy their texts. Some students sell texts they’re done with at a low price to pay for their own books. So keep an eye out for notes on bulletins.
Online Text Book Stores in Canada
Write down all the ISBN numbers of the texts required – it makes online searching faster. Then visit these online book stores to buy books that ship to Canada. And to make things even more affordable, I’ve included coupons for you:
- Amazon.ca – up to 37% off new textbooks (coupon for free shipping on $39 or more)
- AbeBooks – up to 90% off new & used books (coupon free domestic shipping on select books)
- Alibiris – up to 30% off new textbooks (coupon for $10 off $100 or more)
TIP: Do your research before visiting any online bookstore. Use helpful tools like Booksprice.com where you can see the online stores your book is available at plus compare prices!
Borrow or Rent Your Texts
- Borrow – Visit the library to see if they offer the texts you need. Most libraries offer renewal options so you can keep the book for longer periods of time. The only downfall with this option is that there will be a limited amount of books offered.
- Rent – One of the easiest ways to save money on texts is by renting them. eCampus.com lets Canadian students rent their texts for low fees. Better yet, if you have any texts from previous years, you can sell them to eCampus.com and use that cash to rent new ones. Done and done!
Printable Books or Chapters Online
- Printable Books – Want to avoid heavy texts all together? Take a load off with help from Project Gutenburg. They offer printable eBooks online for free – yup, free! All they ask is that you leave a small donation that you can afford so that they can keep providing this free service.
- Printable Chapters - If you’re in a readers group with other classmates, this is a great option. iChapters offers eBooks and eChapters that you can print out for a low fee.
Social Networks
How many hours a day are you on Facebook, Twitter or MySpace? Well, you’ve got saving opportunity at your finger tips. Simply change your status or tweet a question about the text you’re looking for and if anyone has it.
If you’re fed up with the insane prices of texts, then all these great resources are your alternative to high prices. Happy shopping!
