I think I am going try use SoS for a while and would love to know where I can get it at a discount. I have an on-line source we have been using, and their prices are slightly lower than AOP. I just wanted to check out some other places. Any suggestions?
Mardel is going to order LifePacs for me (they carry them, but not the 1st grade stuff I want). They can order just about anything. I know that I won't pay shipping, but other than that I assume I'll be paying retail. But I sometimes have coupons and sales, so that will bring the price down when I'm ready. Short of having a Mardel, I don't know.
I buy thru a few different places. The church we attend has a HS store and I gotten a few things from there, and I have boughten straight from the publisher. Recently I did buy quite a bit from Christianbook.com. Sometime it's just nice to be able to have one bill from one place instead of from A, B, C and D.
OH! Our Christian resale book/music stores carry a TON of curriculum. It's all used, but with something like SoS, it's not like there are workbook pages that would be written on.
I buy from several places. We use tons of literature and so I buy a lot from used book stores. I have also ordered from Barnes & Noble. There is a homeschool store close to me and I bought my history there this last year. I purchased math from MathUSee website. I borrow from the library more than anything! Without the library I couldn't afford to homeschool the way I do.
I purchase curriculum from: Ladies here at Homeschool Spot Barnes and Noble Salvation Army Thrift Shops Rainbow Resource Club Ed Directly from the Publishers Free through swapping ebay (usually for reading books)
we buy from everywhere!! Here Christianbook.com. Vegsource.com/homeschool homeschoolclassifieds ebay christian book stores?? garage sales we have many awesome used book swaps in May and June here (I get a lot at these) I do not think I have bought "NEW" in years... HTH Lisa
where we buy curriculum I would also check out www.rocksolidinc.com They sell almost everything below "retail" price and you get free shipping when you spend $75+ I also recommend www.rainbowresource.com And, sometimes you can find things on ebay, but I don't think they can sell anything with a teachers manual. Unless that rule has changed. Also, amazon.com
We get most of our stuff (including our SOS science) from Rainbow Resource. www.rainbowresource.com They have free shipping over $150...which doesn't take long to add up to that amount with my 3 kids. Rhonda C.
I ordered from Rainbow Resources and Sonlight for the most part. I also picked up a few things at a local homeschool store, workbooks here and there from Walmart or Sam's Club.
Rainbow Resources Christian Book Distributors homeschool classifieds two used sales locally directly from the publisher at the homeschool convention I NEVER buy anything from E-Bay!
There's a somewhat local store I order from (next province over) called homeschoolandmore.ca but I also order from learninghouse,ca and the Sicngapore math site.
I typicaly look at www.learningthings.com first because sometimes I can get everything from the same place. I also use www.christianbook.com http://www.Amazon.com (A LOT!!) http://www.hometrainingtools.com/ (for science) http://www.joycenter.on.ca/cge1.htm (for Climbing to Good English) http://store.aetv.com/html/home/index_branded.jhtml (for dvd's) I generally search everywhere - I don't limit myself to who I will buy from...but these are the main ones I look at.
I get most of mine from our convention ( CHEO ) and over the net (freebies) from different educational sites.
I buy some things at the conferences that come to town. Also a couple of HS stores we have here. Online And I have used ebay Oh yea, I got some things from one of the great women here!
