Save Money This Semester with CampusBookRentals.com

CampusBookRentals.com LogoWe all know that college isn't cheap. From the classes to the living expenses and the books to the supplies, college can be a major financial undertaking. However, there is one company out there trying to make college a little more affordable for everyone.


CampusBookRentals.com provides an alternative to purchasing those expensive text books that every class requires. By renting textbooks from CampusBookRentals.com, you are not only saving money, but you are also getting rid of those books that can become worthless by the end of the semester. Plus, CampusBookRentals.com provides live customer support, a 30 day risk free guarantee, free shipping both ways and flexible rental periods.

With C starting his third semester this fall, the bills are already starting to add up. And just imagine my surprise when he came home the other day and told me that this semesters books were going to be over $300 dollars at the bookstore (I know that's relatively cheap, but $300 is a lot of money!). So, when I found out about the awesomeness that is CampusBookRentals.com, I looked up his books on their website and guess how much it will cost to rent them for the semester? $140! Umm, that is saving us $160!!

Operation Smile LogoNot only does CampusBookRentals.com help you save money on books, but they also support a really great cause. Their Making a Difference Program, which supports the children of Operation Smile (an out of this world, awesome organization, that performs life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it), is committed to donating enough to cover a minimum of 1,000 life changing surgeries! So, for every book rented, CampusBookRentals.com will donate a portion of those proceeds to Operation Smile with their sights set on meeting and exceeding their goal of 1,000 lives changed!

On top of everything else, CampusBookRentals.com also has a ton of other perks! By following them on twitter, you can get in on secret coupons, free shirts, random giveaways and even textbook scholarships! Also, be sure to follow them on Facebook where you can be a part of discussions, enter to win a backpack and refer friends!

This post is based strictly my opinion. Others may have a different opinion or experience with the company listed above. I was provided a coupon code free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion. No other type compensation was received for this review.

Catching Up

Life has been nothing short of chaotic these last few weeks. I mean, this is the first time I have had the chance to sit down at my computer (for more than thirty seconds) since the twenty-something of July. And truthfully, you can barley see the screen for the mountains of mail, paperwork and random items that have no business even being here.

Between working the three different jobs I have seemed to acquire overnight, trying to still be a mother and wife, and semi-keeping on top of the laundry and dishes, I haven't had much time to sleep, let alone write a blog post. And for that, I really am sorry. I know that I have lost some blog readers (and I may have even upset some sponsors), but when everyday life gets in the way, there isn't much a girl can do.

Fortunately, I have a couple of days off to try and get everything back in order and caught up. So, I hope everyone will stick around for the new and exciting content that is headed your way (and hopefully it will be in a timely manner!).

However, to all of those women that work full-time jobs, raise kids and keep house, my hat is off to you! I just don't know how you do it and keep your sanity in the process!
