scrapbookbuzz Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Just remembered it when reading through emails last night. Not sure I really NEED anything but curious to look, anyway. Anyone make a purchase yet? Anyone purchase the Mystery Bundle and want to share deets? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I'm still looking at the options. I am all topped up on Ellen McHenry, but this is how I've purchased the majority of her curriculum in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpyTheFrog Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 It looks like way too many planners to me. I’m glad I got the Ellen McHenry stuff last year because this year it looks skimpy on stuff for upper grades. All the meal planning and homemaking stuff annoys me because it seems out of place. It reminds me of driving by the farmers market and seeing more vendors selling soap, crafts, or baked goods than produce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked earlier today and couldn't find anything to justify the $40 for either of the upper grade bundles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 See, whereas personally, I did like what I saw in Bundle #1 for the Upper Grades. Beyond that, meh. I kinda agree on the planners and homemaking stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Doesn't look anywhere near as good as last year. A lot of homemaking or character stuff. The bundles last year were quite good I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 I'm going to go look again, but from what I remember on yesterday's perusal, I'd have to agree most bundles seem lackluster. Last year I had difficulty deciding what NOT to buy. This year, it's difficult to decide if I WANT to buy anything. But I remember ppl saying the same things about last year's sale, too. Guess it's all about where you are in your journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 So I took advantage of the Mother's Day only 'sale' and downloaded some of the free planners from the BYB sale, which also allowed me to get the "bonuses." Meh to the bonuses, although the planners look really helpful and I printed some out this morning. I decided this year to not buy anything. What about you? Did you take advantage of the discounts? If so, what did you buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I couldn't find enough things I liked to even make one bundle. Too many planners, homemaking and USA focused curriculum ? hopefully next year will have things that appeal to a wider audience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
