Another great warehouse sale over at Scholastic, just in time for the holidays.

Click their link to check out a location near you with dates and more info. If you register online you also get a coupon for either $10 off $50 purchase or $25 off $100. Spending $50 is pretty easy, and gets you a ton of books to use for your home library or gifts for kids, or whatever you need them for.

The video on the site gives you an idea of what to expect if you have not been to one of their sales before. It is an open warehouse with enormous row after enormous row of books at discounted prices, aka homeschoolers’ heaven.

Homeschool University

They meet at:

Community Fellowship Church
28 W 240 North Ave.
West Chicago, Illinois

The main entrance is on St. Charles Road.

Still a couple months away, but if you are anything like me you are already thinking about next school year and at least compiling a mental list of what to keep, what to sell, and what to begin shopping for.

This sale is huge, and has lots of sellers and shoppers. You will find lots of homeschool curriculum at great prices. It definitely pays to get there early if you can because the best deals disappear quickly. Make your lists, check ‘em twice, and wear some comfortable walking shoes.

The basic info for their 23rd annual sale –
Sat., May 7th
8:30 – 11:30
Christian Liberty Academy
502 W Euclid Ave.
Arlington Heights, IL 60004

Coupons on top of deals all wrapped up in a warehouse stocked with books, what could be better?

Look up Illinois dates and locations, pre-register to print your coupon, and go shopping!

Another great opportunity to pick up some USED CURRICLUM at great prices.

The Kane County Christian Homeschoolers are having their annual used curriculum sale.

Many sellers will be on hand with their no-longer-needed materials. I find these sales a great place to pick up deals and advice on what to buy and why.
