earthyfamily Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I have my list all ready to go, I'm just not sure, is there a 'best' time of the year to make curriculum purchases as far as prices, sales, coupon codes and the like goes? I'm looking specifically at Rod and Staff, Bob Jones and Christian Book Distributors. Thanks so much guys!! Nicole Quote
jillian Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Sales should be starting soon. For the stuff on our lists any sales would be negated by shipping costs and/or the wait of getting orders filled lol. Quote
BigMamaBird Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 We placed our big order Sunday night. We purchase our fall curriculum when we get our Tax return. Quote
jillian Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 We placed our big order Sunday night. We purchase our fall curriculum when we get our Tax return. So do we and I am *not so patiently* waiting for our return to be deposited Quote
bodiesmom Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 If you are looking to buy used, I would say now is a good time. My experience has been an increase in activity on the used curriculum boards around February and March and on through the summer. Homeschool classifieds currently has a LOT of BJU. And there is also the classifieds here, which seem to be picking up lately as well. I do know CBD offers free shipping periodically. Hopefully someone with better knowledge will chime in and give you a better idea as to when to look for those codes. :-) D Quote
earthyfamily Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 We use our tax return as well and I'm ready to make the purchases, with such large orders though I'd love it if I could save a few dollars. Quote
jillian Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I've noticed that rainbow resource on most things is a few dollars cheaper than amazon and that really adds up. Quote
danybug Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I know Rod and Staff has a curriculum sale in March or maybe April on their affiliated site milestone books. It is either 10% or 15% off. It was mentioned in my newsletter and I erased it. Sorry, I am not more specific help. Quote
Ali in OR Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I believe the Milestone Books' Rod & Staff sale is in March and is 10% off your order--it's basically like getting free shipping. And it goes for a whole month or so--you don't have to time it too carefully. http://www.milestonebooks.com/ Quote
