What a great post with some very helpful information. We love going to our local library, and checking out books. With the pandemic currently going on the library has some strict rules in place. I’ve been able to find a few websites that offer free reading materials as well.–That has been very useful. We often find a lot of things online, and they are free! It really does help saving money, and being able to find a lot of these things for cheap, or even for free! Thank you for sharing these homeschooling budget tips.

Library sales are my downfall. I have over 2500 books in my classroom at school–you could say I hoard books. It’s gotten better since the kids are grown, and we’ve moved into a smaller home. However, I still have books for all ages and interests. I can’t resist buying them for the grandkids.

I like these ideas and have used many of them over the years. Before the lockdown, I went to visit my friend who has four children. I wanted to bring them something educational but since there are so many, didn’t want to spend too much. At the local pound shop, I found lots of great children’s books for £1, some even interactive, and they loved the ones I brought them.
Personally, I get a lot of books from a client who buys them from a pound shop but doesn’t want to keep them after reading. Then I read them and bring them to another pound shop afterwards to complete the circle!

Im currently homeschooling during the current pandemic but I'll be using these tips even when my daughter is back at school as she loves reading! Thanks for some great tips!

These are very practical suggestions especially the Thrift Stores. This difficult time brings so much suffering and there are still needs that must be met. Thrift stores is the place to go get stuff without breaking your bank account.

Great article whether you home school your kids or not. A great read even for book collectors. Some of the best books I have found are at Garage sales. I like recipe books and the same book that is 40 bucks at the store i have picked up at a garage sale for a buck. The PDF version is a great example if you have a storage issue. When i was doing my mba i just bought a lot of books via pdf you can either rent it for three months so that is a great idea. Digital and trading is an excellent idea and going to thrift stores. They are a gold mine. A well written amazing post.

It really is amazing how many books can be found at garage sales. I practically gave away my old college and nursing textbooks and they were immaculate condition! I’m sure storage is an issue, so maybe download Kindle books as much as you can; especially older editions as you can get those for next to nothing…although there is no guarantee of an active internet connection in the face of disaster!
