One of my big goals for the school year is to spend as little as possible on curriculum, while still providing a good education. After a few setbacks last semester, I finally threw my hands in the air and bought an entirely-too-expensive curriculum, only to find that it still wasn’t the answer to my problems. Ugh…
Today, I want to share my favorite ways to save money in your homeschool with you!

3 Easy Ways to Save Money in Your Homeschool
Enlist Help:
The truth is, I’m not an expert in everything. In fact, I’m not much of an expert at anything. I’ve asked people to help teach my kids all kinds of skills. We’ve learned everything from cake decorating to goat milking.
The truth is, while a lot of people will ask for a small payment for reoccurring lessons, many folks are just happy to pass on their passions to a younger generation.
Homeschooling is a lot like parenting: It takes a village. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from those around you!
The best part is, it’s often cheaper to ask help from someone you know than to take lessons from someone who offers traditional classes.
Splurge on What Matters:
I am no artist but my kids can find some pretty awesome art tutorials on YouTube. However, it’s not that easy to find quality math or science help on YouTube, so I invest my money there. I’m good at writing, so I like to come up with my own writing curriculum, which saves me over a hundred dollars each year!
I don’t mind splurging on high quality curriculum but I always take into account what can be done for free or cheap before investing in anything.
Use One Curriculum for the Whole Family:
I used to spend about $300 each year for an online math curriculum. Then I found CTCMath, which allows me to homeschool all of my kids for just a fraction of that price!
Before, I researched the best math options for each kiddo. I’d google “math curriculum for 1st grade” and then decide which option I liked best. I’d do the same for my other kids.
And let’s be honest, math ain’t cheap!
But by switching to a curriculum that the whole family can use, I immediately saved a couple hundred bucks each year AND my kids’ confidence grew tremendously.
