I wanted to share a promotional code for a discount on your text order. Put in the code when ordering and hit the "apply" button. The code also gives you back an additional $5 when selling Chegg your used texts. <br /><br />The code does NOT have an expiration date so it can be used every time you order. Here it is:<br /><br />CC123047<br /><br />Feel free to pass this code to others to save money. We love using Chegg.com to rent texts and save a lot of cash.

I get a lot of my info from commenters like you when I need some help - with a blog you can just post the question and see what people have to share ;)<br /><br />Plus, learning how to become more frugal or better money management can be applied to all areas of life out there. So it's great you're researching already for this stuff as you can still use it! I'll keep my eyes open though and holler if I come across any sites like this. Maybe try <a href="http://lifeaftercollege.org" rel="nofollow">Life After College</a>? Not related to grad school but still a fun (and helpful) blog :) Hey, that's not a bad combination at all…don't know one myself out there, but perhaps it's worth starting one yourself and getting the community involved?

I'll have to have her pop in a bit more.<br /><br />I think it's great that we have better tools and resources to help us save money these days too. Back in my college days we didn't have jack! No Half.com, no discount stores, nothing. Shows you how old I am ;) Thanks for giving my girl some love everyone! I'll have to have her pop in a bit more.

I like to keep textbooks as references for the future, but they're a fantastic deal for those looking to save cash. Also, the university library is a FREE place to check out books, use the internet, study, etc. My university even provides $10 in free printing costs per student each semester, so take advantage!
