I'll come out and say it right off the bat: this site is not for me. Throughout all of college, from undergrad to my master's degree, I only ever sold back four books to my college book store. To this day, I still regret selling two of those back, wishing I'd kept the volumes I'd annotated. Still, I am a weirdo, and as a literature student, you tend to have mostly novels, which make much more sense to keep than, shall we say, Non-Euclidean Geometry.

So for those of you who spent three and four hundred dollars a pop on oversized textbooks, I give you Chegg. It's like a college bookstore, but unlike most campus book stores, they only rent you the book, instead of the "buy and sell back" model that students have been subjected to. Plus, you're also saving the environment, as Chegg plants a tree for every textbook they rent.

So, while this semester (or quarter) you may have been forced to buy you books full price, now you know that with Chegg, you can rent the books you have no intention of keeping, save money, and earn 5.0% Cash Back on that rental! That's what I call hitting the savings trifecta.
