If you are looking for a way to unload textbooks that you no longer need, then you may be interested in checking out cash4books or Amazon.
Amazon Trade In Store
The good thing about Amazon Trade -In is they were willing to pay more for the books I had. The downside is they don’t pay you cash. You will receive a credit to your Amazon account for the books you send in.
Personally, I like accumulating Amazon credits through their trade in program and through Swagbucks. This way I can save them for birthday and Christmas presents. However, if you’d rather have cash you can check out cash4books.
Get Quick Cash For Books at Cash4Books.net Cash4Books will pay you cash for your unwanted books. They provide free shipping and will send you a check or pay you through paypal when they have received and inspected you books.
When I compared my College English book, Amazon was willing to give me a $33.00 credit and Cash4Books was willing to give me $26.66 cash. Cash4Books terms states that they will match a competitors price, so you could probably get the $33.00 in cash through them.

Now that we’ve covered the basic’s of coupon use, you may be wondering, how will I do this is an a half an hour a week? The trick is starting small. Do not try to take advantage of every sale, create a massive stockpile, or obsess over coupons.
Try picking only two stores to shop at. Preferably the same stores that you already shop at. Do not get caught up in the hype of building a stockpile. I know that TLC’s “Extreme Couponing” has altered people’s perception of coupon use. Realistically, sales are a dime and dozen. You will see the same things go on sale over and over. You will see the same coupons over and over. Use your coupons responsibly. Only buy things that you will use. Use coupons to reasonably save you money.

Using a coupon for an item that is already on sale is your ticket to rock bottom prices. If you find a product that you use on a regular basis, then you will want to buy enough to last until the next sale. Sales usually run in six-week cycles.
I only recommend stocking up on items that are frequently used within your household. Do not buy more than you will need for six weeks. You will see the same items on sale over and over again, and the next sale may be a better price.
You can pair a BOGO free sale with a BOGO free coupon at Walgreens or CVS to get both items for free. CVS and Walgreens are the only local stores I know of that will accept BOGO free sales with BOGO free coupons.
Also only at CVS and Walgreens you can use two coupons on BOGO free sales. This substantially lowers your cost for the products. You use two coupons, one on the item you are purchasing and another on the free item.
Walmart allows for coupon overages. An overage is when your coupon amount exceeds the price of the product you are buying. The difference then gets taken off the rest of your bill. This is a great way to save on items that you will never have a coupon for.
We discussed in the drugstore guide combining the coupons you receive at the bottom of your receipt (CVS: ECB, Walgreens:RR, Rite Aid: +UP) with coupons and sales, this is your ticket to scoring free products.
Example: You have $2.00 in ECB’s from CVS from a previous shopping trip
You want to buy Dove Shampoo that’s on sale for $3.50 = $2.00 ECB for buying.
You have a $1.50 off manufacturer’s coupon.
You use your ECB and manufacturer’s coupon, you pay nothing but tax, and you get $2.00 ECB back. You have just rolled your ECB into another ECB transaction and got your shampoo for free.
If after a coupon and a sale, an item is still more expensive than the generic version, I would recommend buying generic. The whole point of using coupons is to save money. Don’t spend money on a product you wouldn’t normally buy just because you have a coupon. Use these tips to help maximize your savings, but always remember to shop smart!
