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!!
- 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 $20 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!

Hello! Do you know where this warehouse sale will be? I tried looking it up but there are only schools it will be at 🙁
Tiffany says
They are all over the country. Where do you live?
jenn says
Nevermind lol it finally loaded 🙂
Jennifer says
I can’t seem to get it to load either. I can see the schools but not the warehouse sale, anyone know the Houston area dates?
Tiffany says
It is really slow!
Katie says
Quick question, the ones that have the little package by it and states that it’s specifically a warehouse… are those the ones that we want to go to that will have a better selection and pricing? I see the one up in Conroe, but I was curious about the ones closer to Houston as well. If it’s a toss up, I’ll go closer, but if it’s worth the drive, I’ll go that route. Thanks!
Tiffany says
Good question! MAKE THE DRIVE!!! The one that is all the way on the other side of HOuston is worth going to!!
Elizabeth says
They only paid us $10 per hour but still great deal!
