ADPiTigergurl - Oh my word!
Well that confirms my opinion that campus bookstores are pretty much out to siphon every last penny left from college students after they've paid for classes. Kind of like eating at a ski lodge - when your transportation and time are limited, they know they have you where they want you. Just venting - I have 2 in college, so I've been writing quite a few checks to campus bookstores. I'm bitter.
On the other hand you have very dedicated sisters to be that generous on a college student's budget, so I'm sure it meant a lot to everyone.
We were fortunate that she was home for the weekend (in a good size city with NO sales tax), so we could shop around. We went to Michael's. I know college towns are often limited but if someone has a car I would look around at larger craft stores if they have them. Again, one thing that saved us money is that we bought a bread board. It isn't an actual paddle - it just looks like one. That's what most of the girls in her house did - they just found something in a store that looks like a paddle. It worked fine and they are MUCH cheaper.
