Childrens books for a good price

[Mommy2Four]

I'm looking for childrens books! Where do you buy yours? I'm looking for several so I want a good deal.

Amazon.com or Sam's Club.

i buy mine used. at a thrift store (not for gifts though).

 

QVC has hardcover books w/ dvds (i think, maybe CDs) it was their TSV yesterday--(but still decent priced)

you get 10-15 of them w/ a CD of some form.

pretty good deal if you need to get a lot.

 

it is mostly for YOUNGER kids though (2nd g and under).

I have had really good luck with booksamillion.com in their bargain books section.

Depending on where you live, the Scholastic Warehouse Sale can't be beat--they do a couple of different sales a year, including 50% off nearly everything in the warehouse. You can sign up for email notices on their website ww.scholastic.com/bookfairs/events/warehouse/

Don't forget to sign up for the fastpass, it makes it easier to get into the store, and usually has a coupon on it. They are not at all particular about who gets in, I just signed up as a volunteer years ago, and they still send the emails. They have a lot of catagories to choose from to sign up, so go for it.

Just remember it is a warehouse--the one near me (California) is dusty and it can take a while to go through the whole thing, mostly because I look at EVERYTHING. They even have all those crazy toy type items from the school bookfairs, often at more than half off. I have also found good deals on American Girl kits and the Klutz craft kits, too. Good books for adults (cookbooks, container gardening, etc) are often around as well. I do a lot of my Christmas and teacher gift shopping there.

 

Enjoy!

You can't beat the selection on used books at amazon.com or half.com. They usually have what you want and for a decent price. Goodluck!

I'm a teacher, I use www.bookcloseouts.com. I've always had super customer service from them and their prices can't be beat.

If you know what you are looking for, try bookcloseouts.com. I love this web site. I find books as low as 2.99. The shipping is not bad, either. I search it often and build up my shopping cart until I have a large enough shipment. They are in perfert condition and I give them for gifts all the time.

I usually go to the dollar store and buy one for each kid in ds5's preschool class for Christmas. 12 books = $12

Have you tried www.paperbackswap.com ? I get alot of books from there and get alot of deals. I could give you a referral if you would like one>

Also, I second bookcloseouts.com!!

[Mommy2Four]

I have bought every year for many years from QVC the box of weekly reader books they are all hard back books. different every year. I try to get it as todays special value. its about a little over a $1.00 a book I think there is about 20 books in the box. we have a very nice selection of hard back books now. I also buy allot from the kids book orders from school. and I hit garage sales all summer and stock up.

We shop and Half-Price books. I don't know if you have one of those around or not. If you do, they are a great place to shop. Most of the stuff is in really good condition, and cheap!
