Cheap books, videos and more!

Are you a card carrying member of your local public library? If so, good for you! Our local library has various programs which we can attend and they also feature a "Friends of the Library Bookstore". It is a great deal!

I purchased this week 20 books for only $3.29. How did I do it? I visited the Friends of the Library Bookstore where adult fiction paperbacks are only 25 cents and where they had teen fiction on sale this month - 10 for $1.00. (They also have books on tape, videos, DVDs, magazines, etc. very cheap!)

If you love to read, ask at the library next time you are there to see if they also sell their older books. If so, then you may be able to take advantage of some great savings!

Prescription Pricing

Even if you have health insurance, don't discount the $4 prescription programs offered by many stores these days. A lot of the stores also offer a 90-day supply for $10 on prescriptions.

I found that we were being charged $25 for a 90 day supply on many of our prescriptions through the health insurance's mail order program. I have been able to save hundreds of dollars a year by switching our prescriptions over to the local store.

Added bonuses:

* pick them up on my schedule, don't have to wait for them to come in the mail

* help to support the local economy (keeping my friends and neighbors employed is very important!)

So don't wait! Check out your local grocery store's $4 prescription list or the 90-day supply for $10 program!
