1. Book Sale at your local library
If you are not familiar with your local library, I think you should give them a visit. Usually once a month they host a fill a bag book sale. A library here in Redlands, CA hosts a bag sale of books for $4 (members) and $5 (for nonmembers). What's great about it? You can fill a bag with as many books, reading materials ( such as magazines and booklets) as you want.
2. Privately owned book store
Down here by Yucaipa , there is a book store that has a cart of books-- outside of their store. FOR FREE.
3. Yard Sales
Yard sales are not just awesome for finding furniture for your DIY projects , it is also a way to find books for a very very low price. I found a whole lot of children's books at yard sales. You'll be surprised how great they are.
4. Consignment Stores
They just don't sell used baby or kid's clothing, or gear..they have a good and wide selection of books too. Ranging from pregnancy, parenting, educational workbooks to children's books.
5. Goodwill Bookstore and GoodwillBooks.com
There is a Goodwill Branch in Yucaipa that sells only books. They do have a website where you can find used, cheap, collectible and rare collections of books. They have Bibles, Cookbooks, children's books and a whole lot more. Aside from getting it cheap, when you purchase online..they usually offer an online promo code. Check the website here (non-affiliate link): GoodwillBooks.com
6. Amazon
Kindle Unlimited , Subscription is FREE for 30 days, after that it's $9.99 a month. I have this subscription and I am still on the free subscription. I've downloaded 10 e-books so far. I have read 2 already and I am so happy with it.

I love when our local library has book sales. They are usually less than 50 cents a book, too! I forget to check out our consignment stores for books, though. Thanks for the reminder! :)

Hi Kelsey, no I have not heard of Modern Mrs. Darcy. Thank you..I will definitely visit her site. Hope you are having a great week!
DeleteI used to go to a coffee shop that had a book swap shelf. You brought an old book you have read and picked out a new book for free. Be sure to check out my blog hop: Literacy Musing Mondays. Link up any literacy posts weekly. This would be a great one! You have other great posts too that will be a great match. :
