Tips and Advice

"We have a one-income family. How can we afford to homeschool? How do I spend less money, but maintain high quality? I don't want to be broke during the entire span of my children's educational years."
Thankfully, there are options.
Given the enormous amount of public funds that are shelled out day after day in traditional school establishments, one would think the task of thrifty shopping is impossible when it comes to brand-new or high-quality homeschool curriculum. Fortunately for penny-pinching homeschoolers, there are many ways to continue offering your children a high-quality education without breaking the bank. My most favorite option for saving bucks is buying in bulk --- just like the major big-box retailers - and school districts -- do.
