Summer is almost over, and if you have students in your home who are starting or continuing college courses, you may be balking at the price of textbooks. While there’s no way to fully take away the cost, always remember research is one of your best bets for making sure you’re paying the lowest price possible! I’m going to share my best tips for saving on textbooks and where to go to look for the best deals.
Throughout this post, I’m going to use the example of a current book used in many Intro to Psychology courses. I’ll compare the cost of buying it from the school bookstore versus all the other options! When searching for a book on any site, using the ISBN is your best bet to make sure you’re seeing the book you’re looking for.
Here’s the book: Psychology in Modules by David Myers (13th edition), ISBN: 978-1319132095.
Saving on Textbooks for College
Buying or Renting Textbooks
Chegg is a website where you can sell, buy, and rent textbooks, among other things. At Chegg, you can rent the psychology textbook for $42.99 with free shipping when you return it. You can also buy a used copy of the book for $204.49.
Amazon is a good place to start with your textbook search as it will show you many different options all in one place. If there is an ebook or Kindle version of the book, it will list it. It may sell the textbook on its own, or it may be partnering with another site to rent the book. Amazon also has an option for buying a loose-leaf version of the textbook, which is lower priced at both the used and new price points.
You can rent the psychology textbook for $43.43, buy a used copy for $179.95, or buy new for $220.31.
Abebooks allows people to sell their textbooks, which allows for a competitive market! A paperback used copy of the psychology textbook was listed for around $125. Abebooks also links to older editions of the textbook, if that’s an option.
