Save TONS and Rent Your College Books Instead of Purchasing!

If you have a kid in college, or are studying yourself, I'm sure one of the most expensive things to afford are the books!
I have seen the prices of college books, and the amount they want even at the campus book stores, I really don't see how everybody can afford them, and I used to wonder why in the world these weren't covered in with the already crazy high prices for school??
Of course it is a huge money saver if you grab used books, and then you can even sell them after your semester so you can always get some of your money back. But if there was a way to save even more money on your college books each semester, and you wouldn't even have to leave to go pick them up, ( Yeah seriously! Free shipping, always!!)
Campus Book Rentals was started by a college student himself. He thought there had to be a better and much cheaper way to help families with what is one of the most expensive costs needed for college. (next to college tuition itself I guess;)
You can go online, order your books you need, rent them for as long or as short as you like, and get free shipping, to AND from this handy dandy dream come true Campus Book Rental site, and voila! Checkout is a breeze!!

Another neat point you have to know before you go flying off to rent your lists of college books needed, you are allowed to highlight in your rented book, as if it were your own!! Wow!!

CK Bakery Shop

I had the pleasure of staying up late one night a few weeks ago, and luckily being on Facebook to update my page, when I noticed a real cool page, CK Bakery Shop.
You have got to check this business out! WOW!
This business, started out by the owner, baking cakes for her husband and son who were fighting overseas in the war, and sending a little bit of sadly missed home, right to them. Cakes baked in mason jars, and shipped right in a box through the USPS!
This idea and business absolutely fascinated me, and I was overwhelmed with joy, knowing that there are so many amazing people out there in the world.
What a brilliant idea I thought, and I noticed she was offering deals and specials, and I knew i had to try these cakes out right away!!
You have to see the amazing list of flavors and varieties she has available! I just think this is the sweetest idea!
CK Bakery Shop's cakes in a jar, would be an excellent gift for college students, soldiers, elderly friends or family, disabled family members, and friends, anybody who could use a good pick me up and a reminder that someone is thinking about them!
CK Bakery Shop runs a very active and fun Facebook page, head on over and tell them Busymommylist sent you!!
When you get there, you can check her list of flavors, and prices, and the prices are very reasonable, not to mention she runs extra awesome deals and promotions!
She offers a Cake of the Month Club, and minicake samplers, (which is what I received to share with my kids;p)
We received, Chocolate "Cav" Cake, Red Velvet, Chocolate Brownie, Double Chocolate, Blue Star Banner Blueberry, and Stars and Stripes. My favorite was the Chocolate "Cav" Cake, lol. ( chocolate with peanut butter, yum!!)
All of the cakes were just like homemade, and were adorable in the little mini mason jars!
the package we received, was a $15 mini cake sampler, which includes 6 flavors of your choice, and includes shipping costs!!!
Please check out CK Bakery Shop's Facebook page, and place an order asap!!
