I went to Barnes & Noble today and paid $94 for 3 books. I didn’t think much of it until I got home and told my husband that I paid almost $100 for THREE books!!!
I told him there’s probably something else I could have done with those $94. I know I could have bought used books, but I went to B&N after such a long time today, it made me happy to buy them.
But then I realized how ridiculous those prices are now. Not very long ago new books were on average $15 each and now they’ve doubled!
Why are they so expensive now?
ETA: Thank you so much to everyone who commented. I’m a new mom so I unfortunately can’t get through all of the comments as I was not expecting this post to blow up as much as it did. 😅 I’m really glad that this topic sparked as much discussion.
