Fringe Benefits
One day while searching online for discounts on books, I discovered a nifty way to save money on all sorts of goods and services. I Googled “% off books” and found the search returned not just a whole bunch of bookstores sponsoring sales events, but additionally a whole slew of organizations whose memberships come with bookstore discounts. As a fringe benefit of joining the Sierra Club, for example, you get 10% off Sierra Club books.
Though most organizations like the Sierra Club that print their own books offer discounts on in-house products, membership discounts get a lot better than that. A $50 membership in the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library charitable organization garners you 10% off at over 40 different bookstores in the Bay area. If you buy a lot of books at independent bookstores, these savings alone could pay for the cost of the membership. Not only that, you’re helping to support the public library system and getting a tax deduction for doing so. Sweet!
