Colleen Hoover’s World at Half the Price: The Ultimate Book Lover’s Guide to Budget-Friendly Reads

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE SEE MY DISCLOSURES. FOR MORE INFORMATION.

It seems like everyone is reading Colleen Hoover books these days.

Her romance fiction novels are compelling and written in a way that you don’t want to put them down.

The problem is that with over 20 novels, you could spend a small fortune if you want to read them all.

That is unless you use some clever tricks to slash the price.

Here are ten simple ways to save money on Colleen Hoover books and enjoy reading without worrying about ruining your budget.

#1. Opt For The Kindle Version

If you aren’t strict about the format of your book, the best way to save money is to buy the Kindle versions on Amazon.

For example, as of this writing, the paperback version of It Ends With Us: Special Collector’s Edition is $22.50 on Amazon, and the hardcover is $20.28.

But the Kindle version is $12.99.

You could sign up for the Kindle Unlimited plan to save even more money, but this is only ideal if you enjoy reading many books on an e-reader.

Another option, if you are an audiobook person, is to get that version. With a trial membership to Audible, you get the book for free.

#2. eBay

When some people finish reading their book, they might sell it on eBay.

This allows you to get a used version at a discounted price.

Of course, you need to consider the book’s condition and the shipping cost to ensure you are saving money.

#3. Library

The library is the gold standard for saving money on books.

Depending on your library, you can borrow a book for a few weeks or up to a month.

And even though some of Collen Hoover books are new, your local library should still be able to get a copy if it participates in exchanges with other libraries.

#4. Look For Colleen Hoover Books At Yard Sales

This tip is hit or miss, as you never know what you might find at a yard sale.

But if you see an ad for a sale that mentions books, it could be worth your time.

If you are lucky enough to find a novel, odds are you can get it for a few bucks, saving yourself a lot of money.

#5. Use Cash Back Credit Cards

This is an outside-the-box idea. If you have a credit card that offers cash back or rewards points, use it to buy the books online or in a bookstore.

While you won’t be getting a discount on the price, you can turn the points or cash back you earn into something else.

#6. Use Gift Cards

This is really two tips in one.

First, it piggybacks off the idea above. If you have a cash back credit card that offers bonus cash back at grocery stores, you can buy gift cards at the store, earn bonus cash back, and then use the gift card to buy the book.

For example, if your credit card offers 5% cash back at grocery stores and you buy a $25 gift card, you are paying $23.75 for the gift card.

The other option is to join sites where you can earn free gift cards. You can earn points for watching videos, playing games, and surfing the internet and then turn those points into gift cards.

#7. Ask For The Book As A Gift

Is a holiday or birthday coming, and your family or friends ask you for ideas?

Tell them you want Colleen Hoover books as a gift.

While you might not get all the novels you want, you will get a few for free.

#8. Use Cash Back Websites

If you enjoy shopping online, take advantage of online shopping portals like Swagbucks or Rakuten.

In both cases, you first visit these sites, and then they redirect you to Barnes and Noble or your preferred bookstore.

When you make a purchase, you earn cash back, sometimes up to 25%!

Combine this with your cash back credit card, and you could save a lot of money.

#9. Swap With Friends

Have friends who love Collen Hoover books as well? Agree to swap them when you are finished reading them.

The more friends you have, the more books you can swap, saving everyone more money.

#10. Post On Facebook

If the idea about visiting yard sales is too much work, post in local Facebook groups, asking if anyone read any Colleen Hoover books and is willing to let you borrow it or sell it.

While you might get a smaller discount if it was at a yard sale, you should still be able to get a significant discount.
