Travel clubs, time shares, Auto Dealers premium service package for $500, for services you don't require. I was offered this with only 10,000 miles on my truck. I found this looking for information on a Travel Club I was taked into joining. I now 10 months later find they have a F rating with the BBB. I had one year to file a complaint. I tried to rent a car through it and was not able to. They said sorry try again. Now I am afraid to trust them with any money or credit card information.

I agree they don't have to be expensive, and one day may be off your list if we get the word out on alternatives to the campus bookstore. If I may I'd like to make an addition to your suggested alternatives to the campus bookstore - http://www.bigwords.com They are a textbook search engine that searches all the online textbook retailers (including amazon, half, ebay etc) and rental sites (including chegg, bookrenter etc) to find you the best prices. So its great because you can just got to one site and it searches all the other ones for you. AND you can even use them at the end of the semester to search for resellers to sell your books to. It's pretty cool actually. As far as No. 2 on your list (textbooks) I love your suggestions.
