Almost as Cheap as the Library

April8

We were at Savers this week.  They had two huge carts of brand new books.  I imagine the books were from Costco or Sam’s Club.  I’m always looking for books to give as gifts and I hit the jackpot with children’s books.

These beautiful hardback books were $.69 each and buy 4 get the 5th free!  I got 7 books for $4.23!

    Wow! Great deal for hardcover books! They would’ve been more than that at my Goodwill.

    I love giving books for children’s gifts! Your find beats my favorite go to gift. The Dr. Suess books at the checkout line at Kohl’s. They have the book for $5 and the matching stuffed animal for $5. Not expensive, but not as great of a deal as you found!

    Wonderful buys! And I have to smile to see “Dick and Jane” again — although I am pretty sure today’s Dick and Jane are far different from the ones who lived in my 1st grade readers.

    What a good bargain … and books are such excellent gifts for children, too.

    Nice! Childrens books are hard to find at the goodwill since most of the time they are ratty! Awesome find!
