Ways to Save Money: PaperBackSwap.com

If you’re a book lover you know that a trip to Books A Million or Barnes and Noble can definitely lighten your wallet. Even the occasional trip to grab the newest best seller can put a dent in the budget. The library is a great place to start when looking to save money on books but they don’t always have the best selection and they have return dates.

If you’re looking to save money on books then consider PaperBackSwap.com.



The idea is simple: You post books you no longer want on the site. When someone requests a book from you, you pay the shipping (typically $2-$2.50), and in return you get a credit. You can then use this credit to request a book from someone. $2 for a bestselling novel!? Sign me up! (To begin you are asked to post 10 books and are given 2 free credits)

Don’t let the name PaperBackSwap.com fool you—the site has Hardbacks, Text Books, Audio Books, Cookbooks, and More!

It even has a cool feature which tracks how much money you have saved!
