Clip to ScrapBook   
Here are some places that I get my books. (Granted I teach 1st but I think it applies to all grade levels):

- garage sales (keep going even if you only pick up one or two quality books it will slowly add up)

- thrift stores

- friends of the library sale

- used bookstores (some offer teacher discounts)

- family can give you books/giftcards to bookstores

- family/friends that have kids that have outgrown their books that would fit you classroom

- other teachers at your school may lend/give you books that they don't need in their collection

-paperbackswap.com
you can trade books you already own for books you need

It takes a while to build a quality class but it can be down without having to pay full price for a book!

Good luck! :s)
