Aloha2U Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Have you seen the FREE gift from HBC (500 FREE SmartPoints) for Mother's Day? I'm considering using my points (and then some) to get the three Math Mammoth Blue worktext downloads that they are offering in the SmartPoints Vendor Hall (offers expire midnight on Mother's Day): Clock Multiplication 2 Percent Anyone else going to take advantage of this? ETA: If you haven't joined HBC yet, you can click on this link and we'll both get 100 FREE SmartPoints!

MelanieM Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I'm so glad you posted, and that I saw it! I skipped right over the email earlier today and probably wouldn't have looked in time without this reminder. So thanks! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeviolin Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I'm getting the astronomy studies! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenR Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 :thumbup1: Thank you for the heads up! I get so many emails and updates from homeschool sites that I don't always get to see them all. I had completely missed this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I was thinking about it. I did my freebie points, but not sure the offers were things I wanted right now. but the quarter mile math trial seems nice. hmm... -crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakereese Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Thanks for posting about this. I didn't really pay attention to the email. Oops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'm thinking about getting one issue of The Arrow and one Math Mammoth worktext. I think this is a good deal. I don't think I'll ever have enough SmartPoints to get one of their regular group buys for free, and these are things I will likely use.

Samiam Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Yeah, so this was SO a gift for me!!!! Planning on having DS12 do another year of Algebra for 8th grade. He did well with Videotext, but just want to really cement it before higher maths, and thought using a different curriculum will really get it solid for him. Going to use LOF but was thinking about finding another supplement. Big neighborhood garage sale today...DS12 and I went around...picked up a Saxon Algebra 1 book...no idea why they had it there, as they did not have any other curriculum....got it for 50 cents!!! So then got home, checked emails, saw the HS Co-op email, got my 500 points, and then saw I can get BOTH Math Mammoth (which I was just eyeballing this past week!) AND a subscription to a math site (can't remember now what it was called), but they have Algebra videos and answer/questions for THIS Saxon book I got. Wow....what a day :D!

Guest Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I just joined, but I don't understand what the Homeschool Buyers Co-op is? Can someone explain? Do you have to buy in groups to receive discounts? Do you buy with money or these smart point things? Just starting my cup of coffee here, and not up to reading all the info. right now if someone wants to simplify it. :) ETA: Thanks, Melissa - I'm getting something for Mother's Day! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelanieM Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) I just joined, but I don't understand what the Homeschool Buyers Co-op is? Can someone explain? Do you have to buy in groups to receive discounts? Do you buy with money or these smart point things? Just starting my cup of coffee here, and not up to reading all the info. right now if someone wants to simplify it. It's an organization that arranges group buys for homeschool products so that members can purchase at reduced rates. Typically, purchase prices are scaled based on the number of people who commit to buy. So for example, if 20 people purchase the discount might be 25%, 35% for 30 people, and then 45% for 50+ people. Usually members commit to purchase something if the price reaches a certain level and then, when the end of the buying period is up, people complete their purchases at that rate. I couldn't decide if I wanted to get the Astrology unit study or an issue of Arrow and didn't have enough points for both, so I reviewed a couple of field trips to up my point level and now I don't have to decide! Yay!! Good stuff! :D Edited May 8, 2011 by MelanieM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In2why Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thank you!!! I didn't know about this and was able to get the Intelligo Astronomy. I had looked at their products, and this will give me the perfect opportunity to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
