I am totally not into sharing deals and such on my blog, because these deals usually cost money, and even cheap stuff is more expensive than free. And on top of that, even when an item is free, just the thought of chasing after deals to get more and more “free stuff” is still buying into the whole consumerism culture that is so prevalent today, the whole “you need STUFF to make you happy” mindset that I so strongly am opposed to. (And that is why I don’t have post after post on Christmas deals, Christmas presents on a budget, etc…. as I wrote about before.)
However, every once in a while, I will share a deal because it isn’t encouraging consumerism and the lust for stuff, but because it’s things that people do need, or will help them save money. (I shared a deal where you could get a free crock pot on my Facebook page, for example.)
I saw this posted online on another frugal homeschooling blog and wanted to share the “wealth” with you-
Whether you’re a homeschooling parent, or just like to supplement your child’s education at home, you may spend money on educational material for your kids.
Until December 20, 2013, you can download an early math and early reading program for your kids to use on the computer. I haven’t finished downloading it yet, and my kids are currently in school, so they haven’t tried it out yet, so I can’t tell you their reaction or what I think of it. However, since it’s free, it’s worth downloading it and seeing how you and your kids like it. This is appropriate for ages 4-7.
Enjoy!
