Here are a few interesting highlights for this sale:

• Cooking – Chocolate Heaven was $2.99 / now $1.49 (original list price $9.99) 85% off
• Science – Hack the Planet was $5.99 / now $2.99 (original list price $25.95) 88% off

This 50/50 sale is a really cool deal.  They have books ranging in prices from $0.99 to $5.99. Even if you bought the most expensive book on sale it would still only be $5.99, which is a great deal.  They also have a variety of children’s and adult books. I also like that this is an ongoing deal and every 2 weeks the selections will change.

Bookcloseouts is a really great Canadian bookstore. They have thousands of discounted titles! In the past, Bargainmoosers have written about getting huge boxes of books at amazing prices.

And Bargainmooser Alda says:

Wow! I ordered 9 new books for my son and doubled each so we could give as add ons to birthday gifts and all for under $25 including shipping. It arrived in no time and not a scratch or dent on them. My son was please, I was pleased and my wallet was even happier! Luv this site!

Bargainmooser TJ got a similar deal:

I just got 15 items… one a boxed set of 4 books, for $60 all in!

They won’t have the latest new releases, but if you are prepared to dig through their catalogue, you can usually find some great bargains on Bookcloseouts.ca.

Bargainmooser Robin says:

If you ever get the chance-go to the warehouse store in St. Catharines-you could spend days in there finding great bargain books!

There are over 900 books to choose from in this category.  They use the term health and fitness very broadly because they also include relationship books, budgeting, saving money, and beauty secrets.  Most people have the new years resolution to get healthy in the new year and a great way to keep on track with those resolutions are to follow a book.  Sometimes that little extra knowledge and support is all you need to stick with it.

Here are some of the highlights:

• The 30 Day Low Carb Diet solution was $ 12.95/ now $1.99
• The South Beach Diet was $24.95/ now $1.99
• The Power of Makeup was $24.95/ now $1.99
• Cooking the Light way was $31.95/ now $1.99

All of the books that are on sale are limited in quantities so it will be a first buy basis.  Also if you are buying over $35, remember to check out our earlier Bargain Moose post with a coupon code for $10 off your purchase of $35 or more.  This coupon code is still valid until 31st January 2012.

Chapters Canada is selling the hardcover Pride & Prejudice & Zombies for a really amazing price! Pay only $4.74 – originally $14.95. You are saving 67%.

• Enjoy this innovative expansion of Jane Austin’s Novel

There aren’t any reviews on Chapters, despite this book being a top 50 bargain book. I checked this book out on Amazon.ca where the softcover is priced at $10.79, Chapter’s price is over 50% off Amazon’s price! There are several reviews on Amazon.ca that range from 1 star to 5 star. I do like this one though:

I was excited about this book as soon as I heard the title and I couldn’t wait to read it. Really, how can anything with zombies AND ninjas in it be bad? I knew as soon as I read the first line (a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains) that I was in for a treat. I was not dissappointed. This book had me laughing so hard I decided it wouldn’t be safe to read at work. I expect most people that are going to read this have already read the original Pride and Prejudice (which I love and have read many times). Part of the appeal of this book is seeing familiar lines blanketed by zombie – err “unmentionable” – action….

Have any of our Moosers actually read this book?

The calendars are all on sale for an additional 50% off the already reduced price.  This is a spectacular deal!  The reason I say this is because the calendars range from $1.49 and go to $2.99.  I can’t believe the most expensive calendar they have is only $2.99!  There are 59 different calendars to choose from but they will be going fast at these prices.  They are on for a limited time only until they run out.

I love this cooking show: Chef at Home, and the chef Michael Smith is brilliant. Right now you can get 34% off his cookbook, The Best of Chef at Home: Essential Recipes for Today’s Kitchen. Currently it is only $18.77, originally $29.95.

• Buy The Best of Chef at Home for your home

This book is brilliant, a cookbook that is easy to use and encourages variations – I love that! This book has 75 ratings with a perfect 5/5 stars overall.

I love this review:

This is a great cookbook, with so many recipes that you will actually use, more than your average book. For the longest time, I’d record all the Chef at Home episodes, and now I have all the favorites collected in this book. I would definitly recommend this book to any kind of cook, beginner to pro, as the ingredients arent impossible to find, the recipes are easy to follow, and the food turns out great. Most of all, what Ive found with Michael Smith is that you start to make the connections in the kitchen with flavours that go together and how the foods all connect, allowing you to really become a true cook. Love it!

It is really funny, I currently record all his Chef at Home rerun episodes on the Food Network because we got it for a couple months as a sample, and I am certainly taking advantage. I am going to be buying this book because after flipping through at in store at Chapters (and at full price) I saw so many recipes I would actually use!

The last show I watched of his he was talking about encrusting your french toast: once it is all egg/milk dipped – roll it in something! I did that yesterday for the hubby and I, and the picture above is of the hubby’s oatmeal encrusted french toast.
