I'm cheap and I live in a "literary" neighborhood, there are a lot of readers (and authors!) here. When people are done with their books, they often leave them out on their stoop. I have acquired many good (and many bad!) books that way, and I have returned the favor, too.
I also buy a lot of used books. Sometimes new. Rarely do I spend more than $9.00 on a pbook.
