It’s that time of the year again when I start hunting for next year’s homeschool curriculum. It is early to start but I always know what I am going to do the following year. So I want to share some of the awesome sites that I use to save money on my homeschool curriculum.
Homeschool Classifieds– I’ve shared about this site before and what I like about this site is the ease. I can search through the site, or post things I want,or sell things I will no longer use.
Christian Book Distributors– Even though this is a Christian book site it carries alot of the non-Christian curriculum like Teaching Textbooks, Explode the Code and more. Their prices are reasonable. During certain months they will have free shipping.
Hearts at Home– This site also is a Christian site but it has many of the popular curriculum at a great price. Apologia is 30% off. That is a great deal.
CurrClick– I have purchased alot of curriculum from this site. What makes it affordable is that its all downloadable. If you buy a book, lets say, you don’t get an actual book but a link to download. They have a lot of freebies and now they offer classes.
eBay– I have bought ALOT of curriculum on eBay. I think this is one of the best sites to get curriculum for less. I usually create a search and save it so that I get emails when the items I am looking for comes on the site. I have purchased all my Teaching Textbook curriculum on eBay and some of my books for literature.
Amazon– I have found good prices on books on Amazon. I usually have a wish list going of books I am interested in for school and pleasure. The wish list is created on Amazon. I check it often and see what has dropped in price. I have also found items that I would never expect to find like Learning Language Arts through Literature. Last year I found the teacher’s manual I needed for around $5. I would have paid so much more on their website. In fact, even though I’ve used LLATL for two years I have never bought the curriculum on their site. I have bought it on Amazon or eBay.
Another way to get curriculum for cheap or even free is to have a curriculum swap. My homeschool group holds one annually. We just meet at a local park and set up our own tables and display our curriculum. I have found great deals this way too.
