Kids Books at a Great Price
I'm excited about today's Columbia Groupon: $7 for $15 worth of used books at Books Revisited! I've never been to Books Revisited, but I'm excited to learn that we have a used book store in Columbia. I love the idea of reselling used books--it saves money, saves trees, and saves space in our landfills. And according to thier website, all children's books are $2--something every budget-minded parent should be thrilled about! Want even more savings? Gather up your old books and they will give you store credit for them!
If this sounds like a good deal to you, head over to Groupon to get a $15 gift card for $7!
