TOTAL COST OF MY TEXTBOOKS...
if bought NEW from the BYUBookstore: $379.90 + financial calculator
if bought USED from the BYUBookstore: $293.00 + financial calculator
if planned and strategized by Natalie: $189.88 (including financial calculator)
total savings: $190.02 = AMAZING.
does everyone know what that means?? I saved more than i spent! (ok, ok, it was only 24 cents difference, but who cares! I saved so much money and I even made some by selling some books from last semester/previous semesters. It makes me so happy. I love saving money on textbooks. Especially when they're a rip off to begin with.
Also, EVERYONE should check out Amazon PRIME. Its a student thing that pretty much gives you free 2 day shipping on better quality books. the price is slightly higher (but no more than you would have paid for lame-o shipping from that guy in North Dakota who spills coffee on 80% of the pages and considers it "used-Like New" ... no, that didn't happen to me, but I've heard stories. Amazon PRIME gives you FREE 2 day shipping instead of 3.99 4-14 day shipping. It's awesome. Try it out. well, off to go check on the soup.
p.s. We have church from 2:30pm -5:30pm ... this is lame. you know what makes it better?? our new primary class. We got a new class this week (since we were gone when they made the huge transition) and they are amazing! We have the CTR 5 & 6 class... and pretty much lots of them don't come. but these kids are super cute and way better behaved than the last bunch. Prayers of Gratitude are going to be coming from this house every night! :) more stories to come! (they're great ones too).

Church that late... my kids would be like where is my dinner????
Congrats on the books SWEET! You should go into business and have people pay you to get them a good deal, it would be cheaper to pay you then buy from the bookstore!!!
ps Jo would be in your class if you were in our ward :( So just move to our ward, who needs school!
Nice job with the textbooks! Rex has also done an awesome job with saving money on textbooks. I think I was just lazy when I was in school, because I did not go through the work of finding cheaper books. How foolish I was. Also, I'm glad you like your new primary class!
Sounds like a fun primary class. I am sure they love you!
