I was contacted by a company called Campus Book Rentals and asked if I had a child in college and would I do a post about their company in exchange for a discount or other compensation. I don’t normally do any kind of promotion of another company on my posts, however this company has teamed up withOperation Smile and that is one charity that I am passionate about. Campus Book Rentals is a fantastic way to save some money if you have a child in college, you can just rent the books you need for much less than purchasing them, and then return them and rent the next ones that you need. What a fantastic idea and money saver. You can find out all about them at www.campusbookrentals.com. Here is their pledge.
