Koerarmoca Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 very tight budget here, I think I have spent around $150 for 3 kids. I live in a huge homeschooling community though so just about every yardsale I hit has HS'ing stuff cheap and our local used bookstore is great. and one of the local thrift stores just gives away books (I make a donation) but I have gotten a lot of great curriculum for dirt cheap. I have bought a few things offline but for the most part I save by shopping locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShellChelle Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 While DH recognizes the importance of a great education, he also sets a firm budget for homeschooling! The budget this year is $3,000 for both kids. As of today, I've spent about $1,200 of it which includes: several (4-5) science and art museum memberships, an upgraded laptop for the kids, TT pre-algebra, Latin for Children w/DVD, a weekly Spanish class for my 10-year-old, and other books and materials I ordered from Rainbow Resource, Amazon, and half.com. That does not include the fitness center/pool membership, extracurricular lessons, or field trip and travel expenses. Those will eat up the rest of the budget allotment from DH. I kick in the rest from my part-time job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
