I would like to suggest, if you have a lot of children, buying non consumable materials that can be passed down to younger children helps tremendously! We have homeschooled 5 children for over 20 years and have gotten by spending a minimum amount of money. I would like to recommend my family's site: http://besthomeschoolbuys.com where homeschooling families can connect to a great selection of used curriculum. \ Julie (homeschooling in Tennessee) All of these are very good suggestions.

That's maybe a topic for another day, however. As far as buying used curriculum, I've found many a good deal on ebay (usually sets of readers or A Beka items). One comment on ebay... although they have banned the sale of teacher's editions, it appears that many people have gotten around this by changing the title to things like "parents' copy" or "key" or a wide variety of alternate wordings. My other favorite place to shop, by far, is the local support group. And, don't think that you have to wait for someone to post up their used curriculum for sale. If you need something, ask if anyone has it. Many times, if you put the word out that you're searching for a particular item of the used variety, you'll either get a response saying someone has what you're looking for or someone will know where you can get it.
