Rent College Textbooks and Save

Wednesday August 13, 2008

Getting ready to go back to college or have a son or daughter that is? Then, here's a great way to save: Instead of buying all of those must-have textbooks, rent them instead. You'll spend about 75% less and avoid the never-ending line at the college bookstore. If there's a downside to renting, I sure don't see it.
