    I don't normally post brags but I have to tell everyone about this one. We went down to St. Catharines today to a store called the Book Outlet. It was our first time there and we picked the best day possible. I don't know how often they have this sale but today you could fill a cardboard box for $30. We filled two boxes with various books for DH, the kids and me for $60. Once we got home I did the math on the regular retail. Are you sitting down? Over $1000! DH found a really nice book on Fenway Park that was $54 on its own! I found a beautiful Good Housekeeping cookbook that is priced at $45. It took us an hour and a half to go from St. Cats to Burlington! The traffic was horrid but it was well worth it.

    I can`t get to the store but I buy from there online all the time. The books are already deeply discounted but I love when they have an additional 50% off. I have 2 big boxes waiting to be read.

    I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous! Seriously, great brag though!

    I'm normally one of the book nuts standing in line, waiting for the doors to open on the first day of the sale. The roads in my area were treacherously icy so I didn't make it today. I will definitely be there tomorrow, though! This is my all-time favourite sale of the whole year! (The Box Sale is only once a year and runs for 3 days.)

    Amazing deal!

    I still prefer a book vs the on line books on a kobo.

    I order from Bookoutlet all the time for my classroom library, but sure wish I could go to the store's sale! It wouldn't be too cost-effective if I were to drive there from Winnipeg, though!
