We have used Campus Book Rentals in the past as a last minute place to find a book needed for my daughter in college. She had a great experience with it, so we decided to put them to the test, with this semesters books, to see if it actually saved us money. I told my daughter she had a $100 challenge to complete. She needed to stretch her money as far as possible to get as many books as she could with that $100.
As you can see by the handy little chart Campus Book Rentals wins the prize! She was able to rent 3 of her books for the less than $100. Look at the prices of some of those books! I am so glad she was able to rent the Social Issues in Sport book, I wouldn’t want to pay over $65 for any book! By the way, those Amazon prices are for used books! What really irritates me is when my oldest son was in college (we didn’t know about Campus Book Rentals) we bought all his book from the college book store and for 3 of 4 classes they never used the books!! Money down the drain!! They did buy the books back, but for a fraction of what we paid for them!!
Now you know renting text books is a big money saver. Let me tell you about some of the other perks of using Campus Book Rentals.
-save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
-free shipping both ways
-can highlight in the textbooks
-flexible renting periods
– 30 day risk free returns
– Live customer support
– Invite friends and earn $5
-a donation is made to Operation Smile with each textbook rented
Have you heard about Operation Smile? They are an awesome organization that performs life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it. The long term improvement in quality of life for the children that receive these surgeries is almost incomprehensible. What an awesome program and I commend Campus Book Rentals for giving back and paying it forward to others.
Next year we will have 2 kids in college at the same time, so we really need to buckle down and save anyway we can. Do you have any money saving ideas for college? I would love to hear your suggestions!!
This is a sponsored post. Regardless, all opinions and experiences actually took place in our home.

I wish this would have been available while I was in school. I spent so much money on school books.
