She Reads a Lot Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 That is terrific!! We've got a boxed set of 10 of her books, and my son loved them when he was learning to read. They have a lot more storyline than so many early reading books, which we both appreciated. I paid a LOT more than $0.50 for that book set, so more power to you!!

Shahrazad Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Wow, thats great! Was this a regular thrift store or a used bookstore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlychan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 That is awesome! I have found TONS of curriculum at the local Goodwill. I paid $1.00 for grade 6 Rod & Staff teacher and student english books. I found IEW American History for .50. I have seen LLATL, lots of pre-k (entire HOP reading 1-4 set included), and tons of learning DVDs (all our leapfrog, Nat Geo documentaries). Thrift stores are treasure troves for books. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Wow, thats great! Was this a regular thrift store or a used bookstore? It was a church run thrift store. I NEVER find homeschool curricula like this because we are in such a small rural area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlychan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I am jealous! This is rare because we are so rural! Did you get the R&S teacher and student book for $1?? That is AWESOME!! Yep. They were 50 cents a piece at our local Goodwill outlet. This is where all the "junk" goes when it doesn't sell in the "normal" priced stores. I found the IEW there, too. I wonder sometimes if they just send stuff straight to the outlet if they don't have room for it. We are in a good sized city, so someone would have picked them up. Anyway, I have been incredibly blessed with thrift store finds the last year or so. We also have a local used curriculum store. That is 2nd choice, although I can often find cheaper used items on WTM sale forums. :) Carly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it is a very populated area:) I have lived many places and this is by far the best for thrift stores. There are a lot of homeschoolers around.
