In the coming posts, I hope to share some of the great deals that I find as well as some of my adventures along the way. I hope that you will be amused at what "some people" are willing to do in order to get a good deal!

Back to School - Switched on Schoolhouse

Good grief!  I have just been running to catch up to myself the past few days!  Since today is Monday/homeschool day, I'll give you just a short entry, since this entry was really just to appologize for running late.
Alpha Omega puts out a curriculum for use on the PC.  It is all on disc, so it can be reused as many times as you need.  If you have a big family like me, reusing schoolbooks is a major plus.  The fact that the program grades the students' work is just a really awesome bonus!  It is called SOS, Switched On Schoolhouse.  Each subject for each grade runs around $75.  Split that up between 5 children, and you've only spent $15 on each child.   If you order your programs in the month of April, a discount of 20% is applied.  Now if you are REALLY lucky, you can find these disks on ebay.  There tend to be more in the month of April.  I have gotten disks as low as $5!  Yes, that's $1 per child.  Every once in a while I even impress myself.
