If you’re like me, you love to read about pregnancy. With every pregnancy, I’ve spent hours pouring over pregnancy books, enjoying details about what my baby is doing or how to best care for myself in pregnancy or my baby once she or he was born. The problem is that books can get expensive! So here are some ideas on how to save money on those pregnancy and breastfeeding books:
* Used Books. These are typically very well preserved and cost very little compared to the new books. This can even be as low as a quarter for a book, depending on where you buy them. Used books can be found in used book stores, yard sales, library sales and even maternity and children’s consignment stores.
* Borrow. You can consider borrowing books both from the library or from friends. If you find a book that you love, then you can consider purchasing it for yourself. There are also some online book rental companies, like BookSwim.
* Trade Ins. If you have a ton of books on any topic, consider going to a bookstore that offers a trade in. You might trade in two books for one or get a monetary store credit but look at it as decluttering and saving money. How cool is that?
