kemilie Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) I know they're not terribly high brow, but my kids get a kick out of the You Wouldn't Want To Series... for anyone else who has kids that enjoy them (think young males in particular!), found them at Costco today packaged as "volumes"! They have four different volumes for $9, and each one has 5 of the You Wouldn't Want to books in it. Awesome deal as normally on Amazon they're $10 each and 4 for 3 so come out to $7.50 through Amazon. And with the sets at Costco you can get 20 of the books for $36, or $1.80 each. :) Just wanted to pass that on!

mathnmusic Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The 4 for 3 package makes it an even better deal than before! I'll check it out next time I'm at Costco. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Bummer... I looked last time and haven't found them yet... Good for you though!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmMusa Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well that stinks... Costco was selling them individually just a few weeks ago.. not that cheap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeviolin Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 We don't have a Costco here, but I keep checking our Sam's... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnmusic Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Oops, I think I misread the OP. Looks like the OP meant that the 4 for 3 deal is through Amazon, not Costco. Still a good deal at Costco! Now if only I could find them there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NittanyJen Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I tried searching for them on Costco's website and came back with coffins. No joke! http://www.costco.com/Common/Search.aspx?whse=BC&topnav=&search=You%20wouldn't%20want%20to%20be&N=0&Ntt=You%20wouldn't%20want%20to%20be&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-US Liz :) Liz, that happened to me, too when these first came out :). I agreed, i wouldn't want to be that either!! LOL. You may have to really look for these books in the warehouse. In my club, they were buried (sorry, still on the coffin thing) in the center of the table where I couldn't even reach them for myself. I didn't see them on my first two passes even though I was specifically looking for them! I only found them because I was DETERMINED that they were there (I was actually scouting the boxes UNDER the tables) and finally spied one half-covered by another stack of books that had been knocked over.

Samiam Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I've been watching at my Costco for a MONTH, since this was first posted by someone else. Just found them last week and like someone else said, buried in the middle of the table. Grrr, hate the lack of organization in the book section. They didn't have any that I really needed, wanted something to do with ancients, romans, etc....but I bought one anyway, because gosh darn, I've been waiting for them, lol!

DawnL Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I wound up getting all 4, eventually, as my kids get a kick out of books like that. I was lucky that they were easily reachable. When the books I want at Costco are out of reach, my 5 year old is still small enough for me to boost him on top so he can grab what I need. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedlatte Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I was lucky and found all four sets at the local Costco. I thought it would be a while before we'd get any use out of them, but my six year old thinks they are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLovePassion Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I can't find them at my Costco. Would anyone have the item number or want to pick them up and I'd send you paypal for them? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlessedMom Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 They were buried behind other books at my Costco as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Anna~ Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm not a member but I went with my dad today and got 1 of the sets. That's all they had that I could see, and that was the last one. Oh well, at least I got one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I picked 3 sets up today. They were all packed in one box and I had to dig through it to find the 3 I got. They were kind of buried at my Costco too but there was another woman there looking at one and that helped me spot them. Thanks for the heads up that they were there!

Do you have an item number by chance? Does each pack have it's own number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Do you have an item number by chance? Does each pack have it's own number? The ISBN 13 are: 978-1-60710-470-4 978-1-60710-471-1 978-1-60710-472-8 Hope that helps in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
