Teen Challenge vs Goodwill Book vs Chapters Book stores

I absolutely love buying books from thrift stores. And I love buying from the regular book stores (where I live it’s Chapters). I don’t have a favourite bookstore because they all offer something different. 

Sure thrift store book shopping you can’t get the same rewards as you do in Chapters, but you get different rewards. You may find a book that you really want to read that is a lot cheaper than in the chapters book store. While I tend to look at those sale tables anyway, there is something about saving taxes that make it all better. Last years I spent about $20 on 10/15 books at the thrift store, where spending $20 on those books in Chapters would have cost over $250.  

Teen Challenge

The best thing about teen Challenge is the price of the books. 75 cents. You can’t beat that. It’s a great price. I’ve gotten four books in a popular series for $3. But just because the price of the books are great sometimes there isn’t a great deal of books and it is poorly organized. It is also a hit and miss 


Goodwill Book Store


The best thing about the goodwill book store is the variety of books in the store and the way that it’s set up. The prices are great at $3-$5 a book depending on what kind of book it is (Mass Market size, regular size paper back or regular size hard back) the books are a little more expensive than teen Challenge but I have to say that’s the only downfall.  


Chapters Book Store


Chapters is a great book store. There is no denying that. But obviously most of the books in there are all full price, and something that my small budget doesn’t allow. With the other two stores they don’t add tax on to their books where as chapters does. That’s why when I go in there I tend to look at books that are on sale. Also books that are on really good sales (mainly the book stand tables) are books that I haven’t seen anyone review. Also I tend to go into Chapters when I know I won’t find a certain book at the thrift store at all.
