Good Discount Children's Books Store/website

There are three used book stores in St. Charles. Children's books are as low as $.25. Also, garage sales are a good place to stock up.

Hi K.,

The Scholastic Warehouse sale is coming up at the Fenton MO location. Most books are 50% off. They also have some software and other "toy" items at 50% off. I found out about these sales through my school. The sales in May and December are great, but the others have a pretty limited selection. There is usually a section for board books, and you'll enjoy these sales for years to come.

Here's the link. Get directions from Mapquest as it's a little confusing to find. It is best to print off a fast cart pass, then you even get a coupon for $10 if you spend $50. As your son is 1, you can put in that you homeschool. The first years are so fun!

Good Luck!

I don't know where you are located but I have seen used books at Once Upon a Child, the resael childrens clothiing shop.

Hi K., I love books also and I totally agree with how they can get exspensive. I have four kids so I am always looking to find ways to cut cost and one thing I found is at garage sales you can find like new books for really cheap and since garage sale season is just arriving you are in luck! Usually you can get books from 10 to 25 cents a piece. Sometimes really nice books will be like 50 cents but always well worth it. I always make sure to take a look inside to make sure they are in good condition. But most of the time the books look like they were barely even opened. You can also check out e-bay but shipping gets exspensive so I would try garage sales besides who knows what else you might find. Good luck.

Hi K.,

I go to the Goodwill stores and purchase gently used and brand new books for my kids. I think the prices range from 10 cents to about 1 dollar. Good Luck.

frugalreader.com is a website where you can trade books free.

I think the best places to find reasonably priced books for children are yard sales. This is the start of the season, check the paper and head out to one of the neighboorhood sales (the ones whre everyone participates), it makes it alot of fun to walk and wander.
