I only spend $140 this semester so far. My calculus book from last semester ($140) covers 2 classes and I still have to buy a C++ book ($70, I think) My first semester I spent $575 on books and supplies, so this is nothing. It certainly didn't dent my $2700 Pell grant. (just got last semester's too)

after a few sememsters of trial and error i stopped buying the books unless i absolutely had to. why buy a book that you are never going to read?

I usually do that...it's just that this semester I actually have graded assignments out of them.
