Sandy in Indy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Go to a Scholastic Book Warehouse Sale....it's hazardous to your wallet. All those lovely books at 50% off. (A few were 25% off, but most were 50%.) My dd and I, who are both book-a-holics, spent WAY too much money. (And got some great deals!) :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 You are so lucky! Whenever I go to them, they never have anything good. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Good for you! We must get the dregs here, b/c I can only find carp, like Diary of A Wimpy Kid, at the ones they have here. It's funny, because there's usually a couple books I want when they come to the elementary school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I've only been to one, and it did take a good deal of weeding through, but I got something like a $20 discount for registering online and a $20 credit for volunteering for one hour, on top of the sale prices. It was heaven!!!!! IIRC, I spent somewhere around $60 for over $300 in books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I went to our local one last week. This was the third one I've been to and I always manage to spend at least $50 so I can use my $10 off coupon.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Scholastic in general is dangerous. My box arrived yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Mom Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The kids and I went to one today. We spent almost 3 hours browsing. With DH unemployed we went with a very strict budget in mind. I was proud that we got many books and only blew the budget by 63 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadiegirl Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 We have gone to 3...first two we came out with boxes and boxes for only about $50...great luck and the books were ones we really used and then passed on easily . Last time, we weren't so lucky so I think it is just a place like TJ MAXX...you never know what you're going to find -but that is part of the experience for me!!!!

HLDoll Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I've been going for the past couple years. I go with a budget and have had to weed through the twaddle, but have always walked away with some treasures and awesome deals. I'm off to one next week and am looking forward to it!
