Jay3fer Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Sale starts Jan 21st at Homeschool Buyers Co-op. Here's a helpful link! You can actually sign up for a reminder right away so you'll get an email when it opens. As with most HSBC offers, the more people buy, the better the deal - it says up to 50% off, which would be a fantastic savings. Just wanted to pass along a heads up. We don't use MM, but it's a terrific program. Not sure exactly which materials will be included, but if you're thinking of buying, it's probably worth waiting a couple of weeks to find out...

Nakia Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Very cool! We're pretty set with math, but I've been looking at MM for a while. You can't beat 50% off!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 How long does it normally take from opening to close and the receiving of what you purchased? I participated a couple of years ago and can't remember. Does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks. I may be out of the country before it ends. If I order the PDF it won't make a difference though, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay3fer Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 True; I guess it takes a bit of advance planning... but then again, I bought Mr Q Earth Science on sale 9 months before we needed it, and we love that. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just bumping this thread b/c the sale has started :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelsi Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm unclear on how the discount works on this one. Does each category have to get to a certain number purchased or is it collectively for everything? In other words is it possible that the light blue series would get up to a 40% discount but the golden series would only get to 20%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The same quantity is listed under "current orders" in every single category so it appears as if they are all being lumped together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julikins Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just got this! The All-Inclusive Package will be good for all three kids, even if we only decide to use it for supplement, it will be worth it! So excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esse Quam Videri Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hmmm, this looks so tempting. But I can really only justify it if I decide to use this program for my youngest. Is MM enough as a main program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimeeM Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hmmm, this looks so tempting. But I can really only justify it if I decide to use this program for my youngest. Is MM enough as a main program? Yes it's enough! It's a rigorous, complete program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It's only the best math program out there! ...imo of course. I've used it for three years so far. Conceptual, clear, solid, written to the student (fairly independent), non consumable pdf, cheap, brilliant. Pretty much all your mathematical dreams come true wrapped up in one wonderful curriculum. Math Mammoth... I think I love you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hmmm, this looks so tempting. But I can really only justify it if I decide to use this program for my youngest. Is MM enough as a main program? Everyone says MM is complete and I agree, but for that price (assuming it hits the 50% mark), it works as a supplement too! We tried to switch to MM from SM and just couldn't do it. However, we're finding that we like to do a little from each program each day. MM has been great for reinforcing math facts, while SM is our "fun" math. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I just wish the light blue series was entirely the original series, instead of partly revised. I'm looking at the blue series. I don't have a printer, but was thinking of using it kinda like Math On the Level, and handwriting out the problems, so that doesn't really matter. So you don't get your file until the sale closes? And if they extend the sale, you have to wait even longer? When is the projected end of the sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The site says the sale ends January 31 at midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecclecticmum Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think I have quite a number of the blue series in PDF (why? no idea. I seem to collect PDFs rofl) the only one I want is the Australian Money one. But I keep forgetting to get it, rofl. And since I'm on a buying ban till my OM arrives, I can't get it (and *whinge* its only $3!! And if I don't get it now I'll forget!) Oh well. Thats what happens with a self-imposed buying ban, something always comes up when you do it. I guess I'll just wait for the next reminder, or make do :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edeemarie Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 So you don't get your file until the sale closes? And if they extend the sale, you have to wait even longer? Hunter, I just bought the Blue series last sale and if they extend the sale you still get it when it was supposed to end if you have already agreed to purchase it. You get the files as soon as the sale ends, even if it gets to the percentage you agreed to buy if for before the end. We are loving it and actually use it as our main math curriculum. It is my understanding that it is the same worksheets as the light blue series but just arranged completely by topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esse Quam Videri Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I just ordered the Blue series as well. Not sure I will use it as a main program, but it is a great price for a 1-6 supplement. Excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hesitant to purchase anything different that doesn't promise to be altogether better. I see some things I like better in MM than PB, but I also see some things I don't think I like as much. I'm not at all interested in the revised light blue series. The blue series might work though. If it goes to 50% off and I'll have it in early February, I might buy it. I'm SO much slower to buy curricula now, than I was in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julikins Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 This is still going on y'all! I want my 50%! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdownie Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I started MM with the Blue Series as a supplement, but we've now purchased the Light Blue series as a full curriculum and love it! Plus, with it being downloads, you can use it with multiple kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelsi Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Just bumping because it's up to 40% off now, woot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HejKatt Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Bumping because it's the last day of the sale. There were 99 orders when I last checked, to reach 50% discount they need 125. https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/math-mammoth/?source=HSBC-2013-01-31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ailysh Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I ordered it! :-) I won't be using it for awhile but I like to plan ahead. It seems like a great program and you can't beat $68 (if we make 50%) for two students for six grades! Oh yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tearose Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Looks like it just hit 125 orders, so it's 50% off now :) Off to order it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnaShoo Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I just checked and it made it to 50% - glad I didn't forget about this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yay! Not sure ill really use all 6 levels but at that price I'm happy even if I just use it as supplement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmvaughan4 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If I ordered it when it was at 40 percent, do I get the discounted 50 percent now? This is my first time ordering from the co-op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
