Here are my favorite sources of new, discount homeschool books:

• Rainbow Resource - Rainbow Resource is a family owned business which offers discounted prices on over 35,000 products from a variety of popular curriculum suppliers. This company's free catalog is the size of a phone book and contains detailed product reviews.

  Rainbow Resource offers free shipping on orders over $150. If your total purchase will not reach $150, consider combining orders with a local homeschool friend.

• Scholastic Book Clubs - Scholastic offers montly flyers with discount books for ages toddler through age 8 that are priced as low as 95 cents.

  You may have taken home monthly Scholastic Book Club flyers in your backpack when you were a child. Homeschool support groups and individual homeschool families can also take advantage of these amazing discounts.

• Scholastic Customer Appreciation Warehouse Sales - Twice a year, Scholastic opens it's warehouse to teachers and home educators, offering many of the books from its monthly flyers at half price.

  My family attends this sale every May to stock up on picture books, novels and non-fiction science and history titles.

• Usborne Books Consultant Opportunity - In spring of 2008, I made a such a long list of Usborne books to use in our homeschool, that my husband suggested I become a consultant.

  In my first 3 months with Usborne, I earned over $500 in free Usborne books for my children, which amounted to an entire bookshelf full of great books for my children.

  As an Usborne consultant, I also earn commission on my own purchases, thereby giving me an automatic discount on purchases for gifts or personal use.

  Here's some additional information about the Usborne consultant opportunity.

• Both Barnes & Noble and Borders offer discounts on new books at their annual teacher's appreciation events.

  Here's some additional information on Educator Appreciation Days and teacher's discounts that are available to homeschoolers.
