Are your kids back in school yet? I have 3 kids in elementary school and a husband working on his Doctorate degree. So I have a monthly budget for books. Because we made a huge move we sold 90% of our homeschool books and we had a pretty amazing collection of kid’s books.
We spent a lot of time reading great books and I was sad to let them go – but I could not ship so many books. My kids have set times in school when they have to read books and they also need to spend 20 minutes per day at home reading. It’s time to start to add books to our library again.
The other day I picked my kids up from school and took them to Barnes and Noble. I love that my kids get so excited when I tell them we are going to go book shopping. We spent at least an hour in there. I love the selection at Barnes & Noble and they have everything displayed so well so my kids can find what they are looking for.
I have a feeling that we will be spending a lot of time and money at Barnes and Noble. That makes me happy – I love to buy my kids books! I may have to consider applying for a Barnes & Noble MasterCard.
The Barnes & Noble MasterCard is the best credit card for parents and college students purchasing textbooks, books, and supplies during the back-to-school season and beyond. This card gives you 5% back when you use it to buy school supplies and textbooks at any Barnes & Noble store or at BN.com. That can really add up fast!
Average cost for books and supplies last year was $1,225 at public colleges and $1,244 at private colleges*. Using the Barnes & Noble MasterCard for those purchases at campus Barnes & Noble bookstores or at BN.com could give you an immediate $60 savings.

Im excited about all the new books we will buy this year as we add many books to our library. The Barnes & Noble credit card is a great way for me to earn rewards on items I am already plan on buying. If you are buying books for homeschool, college, or reading time – this is a great card for you!
