Homeschooling Doesn't Have To Break The Bank

Classroom Freebies

We have homeschooled all of our kids and have found out that it does not have to cost a lot to do it.
Thrift stores and yard sales are my best friend. You can find all kinds of textbooks and tools for using in homeschooling.
 Most of my worksheets I get free off of the internet. There are a ton of websites online where you can get free homschooling worksheets to print off and there are free online cirriculum to use, The one that we use a lot of is the Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool. It is easy to use and has everything. You have to check out Pinterest also. It can take days to go thru all of the free homeschool items on there!
We also use the library a lot and find out what is going on each month in and around our town. Last month was busy with Halloween stuff to do around our town and it did not cost a dime. It is also easy to turn anything that you do into a learning experience. Like going to the grocery store teaches reading, math, budgeting, health, and more. Go to the park and learn about nature, science, weather, and more.
You just have to keep an open mind about how much it should really cost to homeschool. I know some people who go all out and spend thousands a year, but you don't need to do that. Just hunt around and search online and you can find tons of free homescooling stuff. Fun stuff also.

Cookbooks!

I collect cookbooks! I look for them every time I  go to yard sales or thrift stores! I currently have 7 boxes full! They are packed for moving soon. Another place that lately has had some great cookbooks is the Dollar Tree! The one pictured below was last one that I got. All cookbooks are good to have on hand and most of the recipes can easily be adapted to freeze dried foods and other stocks. Gives your family some variety.

Cooking With A Propane Heater

This has probably got to be the coolest thing that I have seen and wish that I had thought of it. I found this photo on a group in Facebook. I have gotten those metal trays like that at dollar store and used them for camping, but never thought that I could use them with my Mr Buddy Propane Heater

Locating Ammunition for Your Firearms Collection

It is no secret in the private gun ownership community that ammunition can be in short supply at outdoors and sporting goods stores. Bullets for rifles, shotguns, and handguns sells out quickly, sometimes even before the store can get the inventory on the shelves. When you are on the lookout for a steady and assured supply of ammo like 10 round AR mags, 22-caliber bullets, and other ammunition, you can find what you need and more when you shop online. The website makes available the most popular selections that can otherwise be hard to find in stores.


Shopping for the Right Ammo

It is important that you get the right kind of ammo before the start of your favorite hunting season. As the opening day approaches, you may find yourself scrambling in stores to locate the ammo for your gun.

Rather than find yourself without the ammunition you need for a successful hunting season, you can shop online for selections like .223/5.56 stainless steel or aluminum ammo. You can also find other popular varieties that may be in short supply at your local outfitters.

Along with hunting ammo, you also may want ammunition for your handguns and personal ARs. New federal laws continue to threaten the availability of such ammunition in stores. You can stock up now before any new laws go into effect by shopping online today.


Specials, Discounts, and More

Everyone likes a good bargain when it comes to shopping for hunting and gun ownership gear. You may not have the time or the inclination to stay on top of sales at local stores. However, you still appreciate a deal when one is offered to you.

You can sign up for the company's email newsletter on the website. The newsletter gives you a heads-up on upcoming sales and special sales events. It also lets you know about new inventory coming into the website and when it will be made available to the public.

The newsletter is emailed directly to you. You do not have to request that it be mailed to you or download it from the website.


Ammunition for guns of all makes and purposes tends to be in short supply at local outfitters stores and sporting goods retailers. Rather than miss out on your chance to find a good supply of bullets and more, you can shop for your ammunition needs when you go online today.

Another Item For The Bug-Out Van!

Truck stops have some great items. A lot of camping gear and 12 volt items that can be used in a bug-out vehicles! Plug into a lighter and you can have fridges, ovens, fans, and more. This is a 12V Deluxe Family Size Cooler/Warmer that I found on sale and used my Pilot card with points so actually got this for a GREAT price. Will come in handy in the bug-out van. Working on it a lot last couple of weeks. Have the back seats out and are getting ready to build a new seat for the back that will fold out to make a bed. Have to take it in next week to have water pump redone. Luckily still on warranty so just have to pay to have it redone. This cooler/warmer fits perfect between the front seats. Every little bit helps. And if we don't use van for bugging-out - it will make a great camping van.
