Thanks!!! I clicked on the Community Book Sale, not on the Customer Appreciation Warehouse Sale list. That makes much more sense...I've been to the one in Williston, VT! LOL

Great post! I'm going to go to the one in our town and get books as party goody bag gifts instead of candy/toys this year. Considering all the toy recalls this year, it seems books are a safe way to go.

I have never been to one of these sales and I was wondering what the prices are like? It would be a 45 minute drive and I am not sure if it would be worth going or not?

They advertise prices of 30-80% discounts... The average is about 50%.

 

I went last spring, took the $50 coupon thinking I wouldn't use it, but did :)

 

For $42 I must have gotten 20 books... they also have great prices on notebooks, posters, and all the other stuff that comes in a book order.

 

VERY good deals, esp. before Christmas!

Love these- I am a teacher! Thanks for the info. for some reason, Scholastic didn't email me this time to remind me!

 

Now that you mention it, I didn't get an e-mail either. I had just been checking every so often.

So this is not open to the public??

 

"Warehouse Sales are exclusively for Book Fair chairpeople and volunteers, registered homeschoolers, and school personnel: principals, administrators, faculty, teachers, librarians, media specialists, and other educators"

 

Man, I was excited!!

I have never seen anyone "carded," lol... homeschoolers are welcome, and they don't ask questions.

 

That seems to be just a cover line :)

I have been going to theses sales for years and no one has ever asked how I "qualify". And if someone did I'd say volunteer. Because I do...for the PTA, Girl Scouts, Church. Or homeschooler. Because I do...just not full time, but DD is always interested in something they aren't teaching. Really, I think it's just a cover line as an earlier poster mentioned.

 

Don't forget tissues--it can be really dusty, not dirty, but enough to drive my allergies nuts. And they have books for all ages, not just childern. Lots of cook books, gift books, some non fiction for adults. Klutz kits, some American Girl stationary items (no doll items), posters. Watch the computer items to make sure they are current (a friend forgot to check and couldn't use the software she bought). Typically they have a lot of Harry Potter items, they publish the books in the US. Journals, pens, books, etc.

Have Fun!

Before you go to the sale check out sortfloorbooks.com. They have Scholastic books for less than 1/2 price. There is free shipping on $10 or more until Nov 26th.

I rcvd my first order today and the books are all new. The only blemish is a pen mark over the upc code.

I bought books that were at my granddaughter's school sale last week.

We visit the warehouse sale every year but now I will shop this site instead.

Oops, forgot to mention that if you have specific books in mind they have "locator" note books that can tell you which shelf and section to find your the books. They are fairly thick (think phone book) and fiarly small print, but they can be a lifesaver if you need specific titles. I didn't find out about these until last year, it saved me a lot of time for the few specific titiles I wanted.
