How To Save Money (Despite Being An Avid Reader)

Saving money can be really hard sometimes, especially with all the fixed costs each and everyone needs to pay every single day. It can become even harder when you’re an avid reader and, though you don’t want to reduce the amount of books that you buy, at the same time you realise that you cannot afford them all.

But, don’t worry, dearies! There are a few little tricks you can follow in order to save money, despite being the average bookworm next door.

1. BUY USED BOOKS

The easiest way to save money, despite being an avid reader is to buy used books. Amazon gives you that option and some of those books are in excellent condition. But there are also bookstores that have used books and, guess what! Some of them are first editions, signed by the authors or they even have sprayed edges sometimes.

2. PRE-ORDER

Then again, if you’re not a huge fan of used books and you want to buy new copies, the easiest way to save money is to pre-order the books you want. Last year, when I pre-ordered my copy of A Court of Frost and Starlight, I realised that I eventually got it at a lower price, compared to the one it had on its publication date. It’s all about the marketing, folks.
