What is the most shocking and irritating thing for students when they get into college and start preparing for the beginning of the semester? Textbook prices, plain and simple. Students visit college bookstores only to see inscrutably high prices. No wonder it’s tough to afford the requisite textbooks no matter how great your zeal for grasping new knowledge is.

BookScouter stands by you, students, and fully shares your concerns. That’s why we’ve decided to find out how much money a student can save when opting for BookScouter to buy cheap textbooks online at the best price instead of simply going to a popular bookstore.

For our “experiment” we’ve chosen the Michigan School of Psychology (MSP) and examined the list of textbooks required for the 3rd semester of 2021-2022.

Below you’ll find the table demonstrating the best price for each textbook ISBN found among 20+ BookScouter’s partner bookstores in one column and the price offered by Barnes&Noble bookstore in the other one.

Spoiler: you can save $600 and more each semester when buying textbooks using BookScouter!

Don’t think it’s true? Try to thoroughly study this table by yourself to realize that the difference is tangible.

* –  Sun Devil Campus Store price added since the book is not available at B&N
**- Walmart price added since the book is not available at B&N
Note: Prices in the table are on the day of blogpost publication.

The simple truth is that you need to be smart not only in your studies but also in your life. Being in the habit of shopping around may result in significant savings. You can spend the money saved on something from your wish list. Moreover, one more benefit is that you can partially clear student-loan debts with that sum.

We at BookScouter strive to help you save money comparing prices and we take great pride in this mission. We encourage you to read BookScouter reviews to see how we have helped other students save money on their textbooks.
