Feeling spendy, but not feeling like you want Jesus to take the wheel when you go down College Hill Road in the midst of the latest snow storm? Features understands you, and so does Barnes & Noble, which provides students with a fully-stocked bookstore year-round.
The campus bookstore is notoriously expensive, but sometimes it makes sense to cash out on Hamilton swag. Other times, it is not worth it to drop $45 on a notebook.
Luckily, the bookstore is celebrating the end of the holidays and 2017 with huge sales.
On display in the entrance are select 2018 calendars for 50 percent off. For those of who you whose New Year’s resolution was to become more organized, you can save some money, too, because 2018 planners are also 50 percent off.
There are a couple of hidden gems on the bargain bookshelf for the bookworms out there. If you are an environmental studies major, perhaps Ashlee Vance’s book,
Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is Shaping our Future,
at a 20 percent discount will be of interest. For anyone who likes a good thriller and is not afraid of clowns, Stephen King’s
IT
is also 20 percent off.
Starting at just $1.99, not including tax, are a couple of books that may catch your eye. If you like to cook and aspire to keep up with the Kardashians,
In the Kitchen with Kris: A Collection of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites
may be the ultimate cookbook for you.
If the Kardashians are not your thing, but you have a predilection for anything relating to Germany, Barron’s
501 German Verbs
waits for you along with other books that start at just $1.99.
Putting organizers, linguists, and chefs aside, this section is for the students who just want to eat. In a rack located conveniently close to the food area are Cliff Bars at a remarkably low price. At the bottom are Fannie May dark-chocolate-covered espresso beans. Savory food enthusiasts can also pick up a few bags of mac and cheese party bites in snack form.
Finally, for the shopper in everyone, there is a fully-stocked rack of 50-percent-off Hamilton apparel on the bottom floor. That’s right, that oversized long sleeve top with an elf on it can finally be yours.
From calendars to Cliff Bars, the next time you go to the bookstore, you will not have to worry about breaking the bank to get what you need.
