Okay friends, Audible is having a huge sale on right now and I want to tell you about it before it ends! (I believe it ends at midnight on Friday.)
First of all, let me say: for the last few years I have purchased the Audible Premium Plus Annual subscription. It gives me 12 credits right up front (one for every month of the year but I get them all at once) and I only pay once a year and it’s the cheapest deal.
When I do the math it ends up that each of my credits costs about $12.50 USD.
(I use Audible.com even though I’m Canadian, in short the reason is because back in the day they only had Audible.com and by the time they started .ca I already had a bunch of books in my library on .com. Why they don’t just merge the sites, I have no idea.)
If a book I am looking to purchase is cheaper than $12.50 I won’t use a credit to purchase it, I’ll just buy it because it’s a better value to buy it outright.
Well, there’s a deal going on right now where lots of my favorite books are under $5 (some even under $3!)!
Here’s two things you need to know going in:
1) You will need to be an Audible Premium Plus member to get the deals, but you can easily get a free month trial here and then still access the deals. (Plus, if you get a free trial right now, I think you’ll also get one credit free!) But don’t worry, you can cancel the plan once you are done grabbing the cheap audibooks!
2) You can buy the audiobooks from either Audible or Amazon.com (why they do it like this, I really don’t know). In my links below you can click through to Amazon and then click the audiobook to see the deal. Make sure you select to “Buy with 1-Click” instead of paying with a credit!
Okay, let’s get into my favorite books that are in the sale and are $5 or less!

Yes, I knew that but I think they only do it once, right? And I like to go in every now and then to the .ca and get the free audiobook. So, I would be constantly asking them to merge them. Or am I wrong, will they forever be merged?
I think they are actually all on sale right now, though some are on sale more than others. I find it hard to sort through the selection so I just started by searching my favorite authors. I’m not sure why they don’t make it easier!

Chantel, you can merge your accounts! They transfer everything from the .com to the .ca site! I did it a few years back!

Is there a way to browse all the books on sale or is it just “random” sale prices you discover while looking up specific titles?
