missesd Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Tax time... speaking of.. LOL It's on my to-do list, now that I have reorganized the rooms and better organized our small home. But spending that money has me >*cringing*<... so I have been procrastinating. But my Prime ends on the 13th and so does my shipping coupon from CBD. So it is fated to happen this week!!

TheReader Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 This past year it was Oct/Dec. The "year" before that it was April. Before that was Oct/Dec again, and before that, not sure.... We school year-round (ish), and coordinate our purchases to coincide with our once/year trips from Brazil to the US. So, mostly it's been around Christmas time. The purchases I made this past Oct/Dec are for the school year we will start next month (April) and will take us until December. Hopefully we'll be going home then and able to buy at that time.

Hedgehog Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Ha - you missed out "other" as an option! That's me - I buy curricula whenever I've got enough in my cart to make it worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandaceC Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 other - all through the year, as I find sales or used options! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 We do our best yo get the bulk of the up coming year paid for with our tax refund, which we do asap. Usually I start contemplating around December/January and I have a mostly final shopping list to get started on by March/April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I start shopping when I get my tax return in February. I try to find things used or discounted first, so I can be gathering materials for a few months. I do buy things occasionally more in advance than that if I find it used for a good price.

Audrey Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 poll to follow... Oak Meadow usually has their sale in May, so that's when I shop. What we can't get from OM, I will order elsewhere at around the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom2J112903 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Other? I have planned on what I want, but buy whenever I find a good deal or J is finished with a curricula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMary2 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I start in June and finish up in August right before we start our new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncmomo3 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 All year for the next school year, but a greater amount in March when I begin to schedule and prepare in earnest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I voted April, May, June and July because that's the plan this year. I'm placing orders at the first payday of each month until I'm done to kind of spread it out a bit. The IRS decided to keep most of our money this year. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 other - all through the year, as I find sales or used options! :) :iagree: This definitely describes me back when I was a curriculum purchaser. (We use an accredited high school that sends us everything now. I feel like our fun homeschool days are over.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali in OR Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I just started in February and will probably get some stuff every month until June when I hope to be done so I can plan. Buying all at once would be overwhelming for me and the bank account. We set aside money each month so it works best to buy it over time. And I like to just focus on a little at a time.

SweetBean Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I like to plan during the summer, when I have more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 It is an ongoing process for me. Me too especially since my aggressive learner loves flying through material. So should I click every month?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Another vote for the year-round option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurad1125 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I shop all year long. We might finish a level in the middle of the year or need to switch. Also, I purchase my TOG books by the unit so I do that every few months.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirch Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Other . . . whenever we need something and have the money to buy it. We school year-round very flexibly, so sometimes we're ready for different things at different times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I shop... soon:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynyel Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Really I do it all year :D I am a junkie I admit it. Honestly though the months I don't buy much at all are in April-August. But that doesn't mean I won't :001_smile: Just that I don't scour the net! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merry gardens Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 When do I not shop for curricula? ;) :lol: I voted for Jan-Dec. I usually buy the majority of our workbooks and supplies in August, but I look and buy throughout the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
