Welcome to Saturday Savings Black Friday/Cyber Monday edition!  I’ve found a few deals that I particularly love as a homeschool mom and wanted to share them with you.



1.  My very favorite offer?  Get 30% off any print title on Amazon.com with the coupon code HOLIDAY30.  Just enter it at check-out to redeem the offer.  The great thing about this offer is you can use it on almost any book — cookbooks, some book sets, LEGO book, American Girl Mini Doll & Book, etc.

2) My second favorite Black Friday sale?  It’s the Book Friday/Cyber Monday sale from Usborne.  I became an Usborne consultant many, many years ago just so I could grab books at a discount price.  Most of today’s sale prices are actually cheaper than I can get.  To easily find the Book Friday/Cyber Monday deals, click on shop, and then click on Book Friday 2015 on the left-hand side.

I love to buy books to add to my “gift closet” for those unexpected birthday and baby gifts.  Some favorites include the sticker books, the lift-the-flap books, and the touch-and-feel board books!

3)  If you’ve been wanting a Kindle or a tablet, this offer is amazing.  You can get the Fire, 7″ Display, Wi-Fi, 8 GB (Includes Special Offers) for $34.99!  If you want the special offers removed, it is a little bit higher–but still a great deal for a tablet!  My two youngest daughters have these, and I appreciate the parental control options.

4)  Through Sunday at Discount Mags, you can get some amazing deals on kid’s magazines, hobby magazines, faith-based magazines and more.  There are more than 200 magazines on sale and subscriptions start as low as $0.99 per year.  If there is a magazine you want that isn’t on sale, use the code MOTHERHOOD to save 20%.  Magazines are one of my favorite no-clutter gifts, and the girls look forward to getting mail each month!

5)  Currclick has an awesome Black Friday sale on curriculum!  You can save up to 70%, and there are freebies, too.

6) Save 10% + FREE Shipping at Educents.  Educents has great deals on educational toys and curriculum.  Through this weekend, you can save an extra 10% and get free shipping with the code GIVETHANKS..

7)  Homeschool Buyers Coop pulls buyers together to get discounts on curriculum and favorite homeschool items.  You can find the deals about to expire on their homepage (Magic School Bus Science Club, BrainPOP, Great Homeschool Convention tickets, and more).

8)  We are big fans of games and keep a well-stocked game closet.  Right now, you can save up to 25% on games for family game night.

9) This is a fun gift idea for the crafty kids (and moms that don’t have a lot of time to put together craft projects).  Get the 1st month craft box from Kiwi Crate for free and just pay $4.95 for shipping.  They offer boxes for four different age groups:
