Now that students are starting college they are doing their homework to find new ways to save on textbooks and other supplies.

College students spend an average of $940 a year on textbooks and supplies, according to the College Board.

Some newer ways to find money hidden away are textbook rentals, eBooks, purchasing and downloading individual chapters.

A site called StudentMarket.com offers price comparisons on over 1.6 million new and used books, textbook rentals, eBooks, as well as textbook buybacks. Another site that may help fund some unclaimed money or forgotten cash that can be used to pay for high priced books is foundmoney.com
