$58 for a MS Yearbook?

[Anonymous]

Do you all buy these books at these ridiculous prices? I remember paying $25-$30 in ES. My kid is in the Yearbook club and wants it but these prices seem outrageous.

Yeah that's crazy. At our MS, it's like $25 but the "yearbook" is a softcover thing. We haven't seen it advertised yet but I think last year there was the option to order a hardcover if you wanted, and those were like in the $35-45 range I think.

Is it a soft cover or hard cover? That's expensive for a soft cover, but it could also be a fundraiser for the school too.

PP here, I was curious so I went back to the emails from last year about yearbook sales. It was $25 for soft cover and $30 for hardcover. Company was www.buytheyearbook.com.

Full disclosure, we are in a magnet program and outside of the magnet, there is a pretty high FARMS rate. I can't imagine our school ever requiring that much $ for a yearbook. Even for families who can afford it easily, that's a lot of money when it's not even a high school yearbook.

My kids do! We also have elementary school yearbooks which are fun to look at now. But these are all softcover books that were pretty inexpensive.

They were $70 when I was in middle school 20 years ago, so seems like a decent deal.

They are fundraisers for the principals slush fund. The principal sets the price.
