Where could I find a Catholic NAB bible cheap that will last a long time with subtitles inside. So like:
Administering the Gift
1 Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you; 2 for I know your willingness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority. 3 Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this respect, that, as I said, you may be ready; 4 lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.[a] 5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation.
The Cheerful Giver

6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 9 As it is written:

Old and New testaments, please.
 
I don’t care much for the NAB or NABR. I would recommend the Ignatius Study Bible.
 
I too have the Ignatius and must say I greatly enjoy it. While I haven’t touched the NAB to see what the translations like I just get caught up by the name lol I refuse to buy a bible that says “north american” on it simply because it seems to exclusive. What about the south americans or europeans or asians etc etc (obviously not the intent and it certainly doesn’t mean anything, just a personal choice)

I think you mean*** New***….not North…
The New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)
usccb.org/bible/

Pax Christi
 
Maybe try a used book store? If those still exist? I got an old Confraternity edition at a used book sale about 10 years back, and I remember they also had some of the older version of the New American Bible in the large “Family Bible” format.

Also sometimes you can get used books on Amazon…

Maybe this is because North American English is a little different from the Queen’s English spoken in Britain and the commonwealth? For example they might get confused about the virgins at the wedding feast who forgot to bring oil for their torches because of course a torch runs on batteries. Etc.
