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.

The code does NOT have an expiration date so it can be used every time you order. Here it is:

CC123047

Feel free to pass this code to others to save money.

I totally forgot about Broke Grad Student!! He stopped blogging late last year, but his archives of content is killer – DEF check it out. Used to be one of my favorite bloggers.

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 ;)

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 Life After College? Not related to grad school but still a fun (and helpful) blog :)

I will be graduating undergrad December 2010 and she will be done Spring 2011. We are both in debt from private undergrad schools.

I appreciate the tips, but if anyone knows of blogs COMPLETELY devoted to grad school or grad school and finances, etc. let me know!

I'll have to have her pop in a bit more.

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 ;)

Despite the cheap cost being so tempting, I'm a fan of buying them online and reselling them for more.

In conclusion, I make a profit off of my textbooks :)

http://bigwords.com is the BEST!!!

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!

I'm so glad to hear that you are still contributing to your melting pot of finances. I'm planning to go back to grad school next year AND mr. youngandthrifty and I are planning to buy a place… so am currently trying to save save save so I can contribute to my share of the mortgage as well.

sounds like you and J Money have a good plan.. I think keeping the finances separate is a good idea too. Less arguing about money LOL. =)

Sounds like you are doing great as a grad student on a budget.
