TIP #1: LITTLE FREE LIBRARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

TIP #2:\u00a0 ORDER BOOKS ONLINE <\/strong><\/p>\n

While the novelty of roaming around a book store, sipping your coffee and sniffing the freshly printed book pages, is nothing short of blissful, the sad reality is that, at the end of that book store trip, you are going to leave with a book that you paid way<\/em> more than you needed to.\u00a0\u00a0 Book store prices are significantly higher than online retailers like Amazon, and even sometimes, higher than their own website.\u00a0 What\u2019s our budget-friendly advice?\u00a0 Go to the book store and roam around, but hold off on purchasing until you get home.\u00a0 Order the books you browsed in store, online <\/em>at the retailer\u2019s website<\/a> using your BeFrugal cash back<\/a> option and don\u2019t forget places like Amazon as well.<\/p>\n

TIP #3:\u00a0 USE YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know, I know, in this day and age, \u201cthe library\u201d sounds so old school.\u00a0 The truth is, however, most libraries have a vast wealth of up-to-date book titles.\u00a0 In addition, it\u2019s FREE to register and their policies are quite generous and lenient at the same time. (My local library allows members to take home up to 50 books at a time and the fee is nominal for late book return.)\u00a0 Into audiobooks?\u00a0 Most libraries are linked to 3rd<\/sup> party apps like Hoopla<\/a> allowing you to download audio titles without leaving the comfort of your home\u2026free with a library membership.\u00a0 Do libraries sound so \u2018old school\u2019 now<\/em>?<\/p>\n
