The semester's just starting, which means it's the dreaded time where you spend the money you got over the holidays and most of your kid's college fund (or your beer money) on textbooks. Well, no more! Check out CampusBooks, a service that helps you find cheaper college textbooks.

We spoke with Jeff from CampusBooks last month and we're excited about what they're offering. We just wish we had discovered them sooner! Here's what CampusBooks is all about, in their own words:

CampusBooks.com is a leading comparison shopping website for textbooks. We search over two dozen bookstores in a matter of moments to find you the lowest prices on textbooks. We find the traditional New and Used books, as well as Rental textbooks and eBooks. Let CampusBooks do the leg work while you pocket the savings. And best of all our service is absolutely free.

You can even use the site to sell your textbooks, which is awesome since our bookstore usually only offers about 75 cents when we want to sell our books back at the end of the semester, and then they just end up sitting on our shelf collecting dust. Now you can save some dough and even make some back with CampusBooks. Delicious!

Recently we were contacted by Tim over at Dorm Spot, who let us know all about his site that helps students shop for common dorm room needs. They are also adding cool features like a list builder, which allows you to create a list of things you want to bring to your dorm.

An extension of this that we think is particularly cool considering we've already given advice on what to split with your roommate, is that you can add roommates and view their lists to make sure you don't overlap.

Here's what Tim had to say about Dorm Spot...

Usually, preparation for the first year in college is a shot in the dark at best. Half of the stuff on your list you end up not needing, and the rest you end up buying after you get there, once you realize how unprepared you are. Until Dorm Spot, there wasn't really much out there to help college students find and acquire everything needed for freshman year in the dorms.
