Hello Reader,
I am pasting parts of a previous post from last year and adding some new bits, as thing haven’t changed that much!
..so what are your options….
As I was doing some research on their website, I found out that they have teamed up with Supervalu.
If you have a Supervalu Loyalty tag, you can avail of a 10 % discount! You can find out more here.
You may also want to check out about getting Financial help with going back to school
There is an alternative to buying new! Check out http://www.schoolbookexchange.ie/for more information.
Or maybe post your ( wanted/unwanted) books here : Freecycle or at Jumbletown
As it happens, last year I bought my bought through another site which offer a great deal is http://www.easyschoolbooks.ie offering 5% off AND FREE Book covers.(it’s also a local company so where I can I try to support the local businesses)
There is also http://www.schoolsupply.ie/ ,www.BooksUnlimited.ie/SchoolBooks and http://www.schoolbooks4u.ie/ is just another selection !
If you need labels, I would recommend another on line company called Namelabels
So that’s it for me now, hope you have found this usefull and feel free to add other resources as this is just a limited overview!
However, if you happen to go to this school in Mayo, where parents are been given the option to invest in an Ipad to replace the schoolbooks( it’s optional, but maybe that’s the way forward? ) Food for though!
Thanks,
Katleen
