If your library system does the same thing it would make it easier to find and access the books you want.<BR/><BR/>You and Audrey doing Frugal Friday has me thinking. Actually I've thought about thinking about this any number of times, but it's samuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11574060577424187580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147563.post-96660962528286122007-12-30T13:39:00.000-08:002007-12-30T13:39:00.000-08:00I did that once; started a separate account for ju...I did that once; started a separate account for just my hs stuff. It was back when paypal had just started and I thought it would be grand to have what I sold go into that account. Then when I wanted to buy something I would buy only using those funds. Would have worked great if DH hadn't gotten to using it too. <BR/><BR/>Good luck! and keep the ideas coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147563.post-54392353396185420742007-12-30T05:23:00.000-08:002007-12-30T05:23:00.000-08:00I try and use my library as much as possible.

You could use that money towards your school budget. Just an idea.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15167974519458037488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147563.post-9648809543782572692007-12-29T18:23:00.000-08:002007-12-29T18:23:00.000-08:00I think one of my best finds in the last year was ...I think one of my best finds in the last year was my book swapping sites. I use both bookmooch and paperbackswap. I've managed to swap out several dozen family books (gotten from different members) for books more useful for the kids. Or just fun reads. I'm much more likely to swap for a book at the moment than buy one. My postage costs are still under my book budget from last year but I am Bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424956282928247574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147563.post-13417721907011971532007-12-29T17:34:00.000-08:002007-12-29T17:34:00.000-08:00After a large gift of Amazon credit toward homesch...After a large gift of Amazon credit toward homeschool purchases by a relative, I started thinking about an Amazon budget. You can credit your Amazon account with a certain budgeted amount, and always make your purchases from that account. That has worked so well with controlling my book buying addiction this year that I plan to continue it.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463371508970237621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147563.post-27024736147181388712007-12-29T15:14:00.000-08:002007-12-29T15:14:00.000-08:00Re: your idea of a separate account... that's grea...Re: your idea of a separate account... that's great creative budget-thinking! I don't have many local options either, so I have to save my book shopping for whenever we get a chance to get to the Big Town. I used to rely on a lot of online places like Amazon and BookCloseOuts, but there was that disappointment factor. Bummer. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm so psyched by your Frugal Friday thing -- it's a Appletinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09115492569561562618noreply@blogger.com
