Welcome to Tuesday Book Chat. This is where we encourage book lovers to answer our bookish question of the week.
Today’s question is:
Do you have a book buying budget? If so, do you stick to it?
We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Please join in the conversation by commenting on this post or on the blog post shared in our Australasian Christian Writers Facebook Group.
Let’s chat!
I use to have a bit of a budget for when I went to the city and normally overspent. Now I don’t get to the city much and buy books online and do tend to stick to the budget. I have a gift card balance and use that to buy books.
Your turn.

I don’t have a book budget. I budget for some things, but then just have a discretionary amount that can be used for craft, books or other things.
I tend to keep a list of books that I want to buy – ones that I’m either waiting for them to be published or until they actually arrive in Australia for purchase.
I do usually wait until Koorong has a sale and then get as many books off my list as I can.
That makes sense. I use to always wait to the after Christmas sale. I often buy things with the 20% off sale (or free postage and 25% over 100)
I try to wait for the sales to buy any hardcover books. Usually my budget is $10-$15 for fiction books and $20-$25 for non-fiction. Having said that, if I really want a book, I tend to just ignore the price and buy it…
Sounds good I tend to wait for sales too.
