In my previous article, “Wasted Woes: I Wish I Hadn’t Bought That,” I discussed school supplies that college students buy and end up not using, along with cheaper alternatives. But I didn’t get the opportunity to talk about one of the most important school items: textbooks.
I wish someone would have told me that school supply shopping in college is very different from shopping for school supplies in high school. You’d assume that’s common sense, right? Well, going supply shopping in college with a high school mentality is more common than you would think.
