I have been going to the Scholastic warehouse sales for years, since I home schooled our oldest son. They have them about 2x a year, one in December and one in the spring. Imagine a HUGE warehouse FULL of books, all the ones that you see in your kids Scholastic order books from school, but EVERYTHING is 50% off or more!!
* This is NOT the same as the sale in your kids school. This is a warehouse sale from the same company.
- Take an extra 50% off permanently reduced merchandise!
- Hundreds of items $2.00 or less.
- Maximize Title I funding and purchase order dollars.
- Save more with Build-a-BOX!** Fill a box with books from a specially selected collection. Pay only $24.95 plus tax for each box you build.
I go TOTALLY nuts in there! I need supervision!
They are having one coming up in Houston, but they have them all over the country. A while ago you had to be a teacher, home school parent, or a school volunteer to shop there, although I have never had them ask. I think we all fit some form of those no matter what! Plus, if you sign up for the fast cart pass you will get a $25 off $100 purchase coupon.
This is something that I would not miss. Find a sitter, take the time to drive in and grab some really good books at really discounted prices! Go HERE to find one in your area.
** This is a follow up… I forgot to mention that you can volunteer to work there. They “pay” you $10 an hour in books. You do not get the book at 50% off but for the value on the back of the book, so regular price.
A few years ago I was really stressed how I was going to get my kids Christmas presents. I volunteered and worked my sale for 1 day and traded babysitting with a friend. I had $120 in free books. They have stocking stuffers, cookbooks, kids books and toys to choose from. I was able to get what I needed to make it a great Christmas morning. If you are interested you can call 1-877-714-8292 and set up a time to come in and help!
