Nursing school textbooks

I saved a little over $100 by going through Amazon (If I'm not allowed to mention Amazon, I'll edit/delete). I could've saved more if I had bought some of them used, but I preferred new as I didn't know if I'd be able to use the access codes for any of the books if they were used, and I wanted to make sure I could still use them.

Almost all of my books were cheaper, even if only by $20. There were maybe two that cost the same. Only one cost about $10 more, but it was still cheaper to just go through there (as I was going through there for everything else and had free shipping). Plus my books arrived much quicker (because of Prime). Some of the other late admits are still waiting for some of the books because of back order issues.

You may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere, especially if you plan on getting used.

I shopped between Amazon, textbooks.com, and chegg. I purchased what ever was cheapest between the 3 and saved like $400 between all my book and I bought all new. If I had bought used (which I should have) I would have saved another $200. As it is I spent like $650 on all my books and have barely touched half of them.

Wow! I think I'll be doing that next time... even though I already got the bulk of the nursing books. Though I didn't have a lot of time to get my books as I was a late admit, but I think I'll be doing that for all future books.
