lotsofpumpkins Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 That's why I told them to stop sending me the catalog, and I stay off the site unless I am buying something specific. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom2011 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 The funny thing is, when I look at the list, it really doesn't look like that much. I have to weed through and decide which items are not absolutely necessary. Of course in my mind they ALL are, so nothing gets deleted - lol. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Oh you must share your list, so we can help you decide :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceful Isle Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I just order a little at a time. Just enough to get free shipping. It makes me feel better that way! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 That's all? My current wish list total is $2853 It will be reduced but I sure do like looking at that wish list lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Mine always starts that big, but this year I got it weeded down to 150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Balaban Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 My current wish list is only $150, but I have a lot more to add... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalynnrmc Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 At one point in time, I thought it would be fun to add anything I might ever have fun using at least once to the CBD wishlist. I thought hey, maybe they'll get weird and give away someone's entire wish list. The total was over $5000. And then we went without internet for over 2 years. When I got back online, I deleted basically the whole thing. Whew! Glad I got that off my chest! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awisha. Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 My wishlist is up to $1,900+ which includes anything I thought looked fun/different etc. Plus multiple programs for some subjects :lol: I have a week or two left of waiting for money to purchase new curriculum. I am constantly (nearly daily!!!) deciding, and then promptly changing, my final cart choices. :svengo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Okay, seriously, you all need to post what's on your wish list! I hate, hate going through their catalog. I'm much more of a shiny, glossy catalog pictures girl :) The only thing I'm needing from Rainbow right now is Singapore math. Mostly everything else I order from amazon. But I'd love to be enabled, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyto4QT Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I just got their catalogue for the first time. I was expecting something nice, shiny & with pictures. I am a pictures type of girl! Their catalogue setup made me not want to purchase anything!! What are your favorites to get from RR?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbieoftwo Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 :iagree:It took me days to go through the catalog (it is the size of a phone book) and I'm still browsing the website now for pictures of things that sounded good. I really wish they would include this so I could skip a step and just drool over the catalog :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniBlondes Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I would also love to see what everyone has on their wishlists. I get overwhelmed when I look at their site. I WANT IT ALL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiobrain Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Funny, my wish list is just that.. a wish list. A depository of things I might want, but am not sure, don't want to forget, think look interesting, want to have for price comparisons, have a quick go to for a gift idea.... I have never paid attention to the total. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their catalogue setup made me not want to purchase anything!! What are your favorites to get from RR?? I pretty much only buy from them what I can't get elsewhere. Around Feb I start planning for the following year. I clear out wishlists at Rainbow, Amazon and Home science tools. Then I start adding to all of them. Whoever has the best price wins, lol. I think from Rainbow I get my SM books, some Tops science books, Vocabulary from the classical roots, etc. Most books for reading or science I can pick up at Amazon, either with prime or used.

itsheresomewhere Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 My Rainbow Resource list is the cheapest one so far. It is 320. My Homescience Tools list is 385 after the discount code. Then add my Lakeshore list and Carolina list and well, it is pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to cut and paste my wish list but it just didn't look pretty once I place it in my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom2011 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 I don't look at the catalog, it drives me crazy - too many choicies!! I go online and type in what I'm looking for, if it's there, it goes on my list. I try to have my shopping list all written out before I even attempt to shop. Sticking to the list is the big challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom2011 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 I just order a little at a time. Just enough to get free shipping. It makes me feel better that way! ;) This is what I do. I could never afford to buy it all at once. :001_huh: I also check for bargain versions on workbooks/TM which saves a few bucks here and there. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie463 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Speaking of RR, has anyone received their catalog in the mail yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 After weeding out and just getting necessities my order was over $1,000 and that was 1 of 5 places I ordered from (albeit the largest order) Now I am working on the list of supplements I need :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairProspects Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 What on earth are you people buying? I just made my RR order and it was in the $150 range. I don't even know if I could spend the totals listed here on that site, I find it ridiculously hard to navigate. I'd pick Amazon any day. I only order things from RR that are the best price around and when I can get free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Whew, I just placed my very first HS order with them. AAR1 complete set w/ interactive kit, c-rods w/ orange and red book for a whopping $155. That seemed like a lot to me but after looking at other people's totals, I'm feeling much better about my $155. Of course, this is where it all begins and I'm currently dealing only with a 3.5 yo...

Just the science program and kit I want for my junior high kids comes out to over $150 and that is 1 subject for just the 2 oldest. Buying for my youngest 2 can be done fairly cheaply, but for the oldest 2 now that they are junior high it adds up quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
