Hey, I am using books for my 3rd grader that my college grad son used. Then again, as a homeschooler, I don’t get $6600 per kid per year. I spend about $500 a year on books and materials. For up to four students at a time.

Usually, I get the bulk of what I need from EBay and other homeschool auction sites.

It can be done.

Indeed. If you go to Barnes and Noble and buy a book to use, you are not going to pay more than $30 for it, new. And probably you can get that book on e-bay or Amazon for $5-$10 dollars.

I was just thinking that I have gone out of my way to buy books that were almost a hundred years old for my children’s schooling.
