we have no local homeschool store. I do purchase from Barnes and Noble or Books a Million locally however. My "office" supplies come from Walmart, Office Max, etc.

 

Online I use:

amazon

cbd

rainbow resource

timberdoodle

homesciencetools

BF Books (but shipping can be pricey if you don't chose media mail)

book peddler

lamp post homeschool

 

I have also used Sandi Queen's website and Cornerstone. THese 2 can be a bit slow and have glitches, so just be aware.

1. Four different homeschool used curriculum sites.

2. Amazon

3. Rainbow Resource

4. Ebay

 

 

Amazon is my first choice for anything. For anything they don't have, Ebay or CBD.

We have seriously found a TON of our materials at 1/2 Price Books. I love that store.

 

I ordered DSS's Singapore books, our maps, and our books for Ancients from Rainbow Resource.

 

Most of our office/school-type supplies came from Walmart this year b/c I had gift cards from my mom.

1. Amazon

2. Publisher's website (I know I'm getting the latest product and I like to support them when possible)

2. RR

3. CBD

5. Paperback swap.com

6. Thrift stores

 

Over the years I have had great success for living books and texts at paperbackswap. Both of these have saved me oodles of money.

 

Supplies are generally from Walmart, bought this time of year.

Honestly, I've bought every single item of mine either online or at our Friends of the Library store.

homeschoolclassifieds.com, this board's for sale section, ebay, amazon.com, half.com, etc.

I have not bought a single thing "new" from "a company" :) I've bought from individual sellers and gotten some awesome deals!
