Books, books books! They are great for those long winter months when we are stuck indoors, and they are wonderful during the holidays.
For some reason, the holidays really gets me in a book buying mood. First of all, books are really easy gifts to give, since they are easy to wrap and can be mailed across the country for very little expense. I already have a couple of books ready to pop into the mail for faraway friends.
Then there are all of the Christmas decorating books and the festive cookbooks. I love a warm kitchen in November and December, don’t you? Even when I try to limit my books, I can always seem to justify a good cookbook. As for the decorating books, I would love some new ideas for this new home. Just looking at the gorgeous photos are enough to put you in a holiday mood.
Fortunately, Borders has a really good coupon out there, as well as an amazing stock up deal going on right now.
First, I’ll get to the coupon. It is for 30 percent off of one item with a purchase of $10 or more. The 30 percent off coupons are the highest coupon value you can get with Borders, and they don’t come around often. You can print this coupon using your computer. Just click here to get it. The coupon expires November 13th.
Now on to the deal. Borders stores are running their sidewalk clearance deal. You can take 50 percent off of the lowest clearance price on the bargain books. I spotted some great books at my store, from a hardcover Peter Walsh (the Clean Sweep organizing guru) book that my husband has been wanting, to a few different current and popular cookbooks that are hardcover with glossy pages. Each book was only $2.99! I chatted a bit with an employee who told me that just last week, these books were full price and good sellers. They just ordered too many and needed to clear shelves for the holiday rush of new items.
Great deal!
