Decluttered big time and got some book credit to boot!!!

Yeah!!! I decluttered some of our books today along with some old clothes and toys. I just love getting rid of stuff. I think I get more of a "high" from that than I do shopping for stuff. lol

Well, I took the books to the used books store and received $50.00 in book credit. I was able to get my older son the entire Lion, Witch and Wardrobe series and my little one 2 book for .22 cents. I still have $24.00 in the adult fiction section of the bookstore. Dh will be thrilled.

Wow! That's really cool!

How did you find the bookstore that does that? I wonder if there are any in my area?

Congrats on the decluttering/new books!

This is a bookstore that sells primarily used books. (they have some new ones). They take peoples old books and either give credit for the store or cash (which is such a small amount, most people take the credit). They sell the used books for cheap. It's a wonderful, family owned bookstore. We love it.

I independent used bookstores. I used to be a used book buyer at one.

Used is used too many times in this post. LOL!
