If someone you know, or love (or, ideally, both) is headed back to school in the next few weeks, keep Amazon in mind for everything from textbooks to school supplies. Buy your student a gift card from the banner below and help support the blog:

Amazon can save you some bucks on textbooks, but the best way to find all the discounts is to head over to the textbooks section of Best Book Buys. One of my college-age friends took that tip from me and, even after shipping and handling, is saving about $150 on his fall semester textbooks compared to his university's bookstore, and about $100 more than at Amazon alone.

You might not want to buy textbooks from a bunch of different sites, but a $50 savings just using Amazon is still pretty sweet, and using the above banner link helps support this blog, too. Save money either way! I love win-win scenarios.
