With the price of new books spirally out of control, there is one saving grace: Value World. It’s the frugal person’s Borders and Barnes and Noble.
Go to any Value World, at any time, and you will be confronted with books—lots of books. All kinds of books. Textbooks, cookbooks, Bibles, dictionaries, romance novels. Need I say more.
Paperbacks are five for a dollar or five for fifty cents when I have a coupon. (I love those!) So you can really stock up. I get my fill of mysteries.
Chapter books for kids are usually in the paperbacks, but sometimes the nicer ones are bagged together. These are a huge bargain. If your kids love to read, you’ve got it made. Homeschoolers can also feast on these as well, since many of them are bagged by age or by subject.
Value World also has hardcovers which are, to be frank, a little high. I normally don’t buy any unless I have a coupon.
