Feeling Frugal: Reader Response Edition

ITEM! Commenter Jason points out that Akadot is a great place to get your Project X and other DMP manga on the cheap. The Project X books are 69-85% off (just $9.90 for all three) and another Sporadic Sequential favorite, Fumi Yoshinaga's absolutely delightful Flower of Life, is available as a three-volume set for ONLY TEN BUCKS!!! (Individual volumes are 54-61% off.) (Akadot offers free shipping on orders over $100, but the bargain books don't qualify for that offer. When I added the Flower of Life bundle or the three Project X books to my cart, the cheapest shipping option was $11.90, so take shipping costs into consideration.)

ITEM! Renee at PopKissKiss recommends searching for manga bargains at Half.com, sharing a specific example of a great deal she found:

To give you an idea of Half.com's money-saving potential: I recently purchased 13 different Yen Press & DMP releases, all listed as "Like New." I spent $14.36 on the items, and $29.37 on shipping, for a total of $43.73. The same items cost $64.91 on Amazon Marketplace, and $150.35 new. Happy times.

I haven't used Half.com in years but I'll have to check it out again, especially since there are several older manga series I'm interested in tracking down.

ITEM! Many commenters recommended RightStuf as a site for manga bargains, and they're currently running a special through 4/13 good for an additional 10% off in-stock sale items for an effective discount of up to 32% off.. Plus, RightStuf offers free shipping on orders over $49.
