Book Fair Warehouse Sale

Being a teacher is a pretty awesome gig.  I love it.  I love the kids, the content I teach, the school I work at and the most recent addition to things I love... Scholatsic Book Fair WAREHOUSE SALES!!!!!

So here's the deal, the local warehouse has two sales a year.  Every book is either 25% off or 50-80% off. WHAT? SERIOUSLY?  YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT?

Plus if you spend $50 you save $10 or if you spend $100 you save $25.

At first the awesomeness is overwhleming.

Then its time to focus and load up your cart.  SO MANY BOOKS.


I walked up to the register with $85 in books, the woman said, "go pick out two more books, it will sent your total to $100 and then you can you the save $25 coupon."

I walked over to this Unwanted Book cart and found THE BOOK THIEF sitting right on top.  Awesome.

Wanna see how many books I got for $75?

5 Books for my daughter (she's going through a dinosuar phase right now and 2 high interest low reading level books.
