Do you enjoy shopping in bargain bins for books?? I love getting a good deal on books. I am usually able to search the bargain bin either online or in store and find quite a few chick lit and fiction books that interest me. I also get a lot of children's books this way (for my profession - I am a teacher/nanny.) Between the bargain bin at Barnes and Noble and Borders as well as the library, I'm stocked with books! I never run out and always have a variety to read!

Hello Jenn yeah I enjoy shopping on bargain items but not really on books but on garments, housewares..well, few books depends on how interesting would that be.. In our place we have what we called "ukay-ukay" a bargain store where you can find lots of anything that are already second hand.. Thanks my friend...

Ohh....I love any sales or bargains when it comes to books. We do have bookshops with bargain corners, but these are rather meager offerings. The book sales with discounts up to 90% are good, but what I enjoy most are those sales offered by the used bookstores. These are really great buys - my brother and I would spend hours browsing through the titles and end up with loads (even though we still have lots unread at home)!

I do like to use the Bargain Bin when I want more for my buck, but I prefer to buy books new and in hardcover if I can. (But I'm a poor college student so I hardly ever can.) I feel sorry for books in the bargain bin because if they're there then that means they're not selling, and the author is about to starve. It kinda breaks my heart, but I can't pass up a good deal when it comes to books. I can't pass up books period.

Bargain bins are the best place to find good deals on books. Almost every store has one. I do a lot of reading so I am always on the lookout for the best book prices. In the past you had to search out stores for bargain bins. Now just as many good deals can be found on line. Thank goodness for modern technology.

I love a good bargain! Most of my books come from ex-library stock, carboot sales or charity shops! Only a few books have I paid full price for if I have been waiting for a sequel for example. You cant beat a good book bargain!!

Bargain pint good place to find books for bookswor - Interesting titles can be found,but have to sacrifice some books are torn and dirty,damaged too.
Yes sometime the bargain bin show good stuffs and good real bargain.However, i usually don get books in bargain bin yet, MPH bins are used for damaged torn books.I prefer for children books in good condition,i scare those books maybe contaminted with germs and such.But sometime cheap jokesbooks,cooking books,other funny stuffs and interesting titles can be found in the bargain pit.

I'm ALWAYS checking out bargin books and the Last Chance books they have on the sidewalks at bookstores. The Dollar Tree is also a great place to find cheap books that turn out to be pretty good. I've gotten LOTS of board books for my son there.
