I remember the days; packets of cheap soup, saving money for beer not food, wearing the same hoodie for a week straight and trying to hit on girls you really had no chance with. Well if any of you out there had a college experience like mine, you just had a flood of memories.

I also remember people complaining about spending money on books, I was a Public Relations major so I never really bought that many books, until the internet came around. Once the internet hit you could easily find books cheaper than those price gouging money mongers at the campus book store were selling them for.

I recently came across The Textbook Price Comparison a nifty little app that compares text book prices. To be honest there are a few different text book comparisons tools out there, and I didn’t notice a price difference between them.

I think this could be a nifty tool to set up for students and friends who go to the same school to compare prices of textbooks. Other textbook Facebook applications offer an exchange style tool, but I never found those services too helpful.

At worst some of your friends can make up a few jokes when they see that you have looked up the pricing for your required reading in “Depressing Women’s Lit of the 19th Century.”
