Agree with that.
Get along to the library and use the reference copies. Sometimes its just the odd couple of pages or paragraphs that you need.
If you find you need Martindale etc find out if the department has that "Athens" type access to "Medicines Complete" which has Martindale etc on it. You can subscribe to the BNF online for free.
As another thought - there's that much on the internet these days you might not need to spend a lot if you learn to use the search engines. The textbooks often a very dry method of learning these days especially for dynamic processes. Some sites have some really good flash animations that get the point across.
A long time has passed since my undergraduate days, so I write this from a CPD standpoint.
