I had no idea when I started to homeschool my oldest son 4 years ago how expensive it would be. Curriculum, books and school supplies can be costly. Fast forwarding years later I am now homeschooling four children. When it’s is time to make my curriculum and book purchases, I shop around for the best deals.
My family is starting a new homeschool program this year which has certain curriculum requirements. For my oldest son is required to read specific books. It would be entirely too expensive to purchase these books new so I searched to find them used. I was not going to go all over town to find them either, time does not permit that so when I stumbled upon ThriftBooks. It was like finding a treasure box full of amazing reads with a selection of 7 million books at great prices!
You can easily search through their books by category. Each category gives a nice wide range of books! The books I was searching for I did not think I would find in their database. I had never heard of them before, but they had every single one of them available!
As I checked out, to purchase my order, I was amazed that my order was only $10.99! Plus I did not have to pay for shipping because all orders $10.00 or more is free to ship and ships within 24 hours!

I’m a Literacy Specialist so I am all for giving children access to books at all times. This is a great way to save some money and provide kids with many literary experiences.
My kids love to read. It sounds like a great place for me to stock up for them.
Agreed! Need to restock our book shelves when we move and this sounds like it would be great!
Girl you just had to tempt me. As if trying to behave in a book store wasn’t hard enough now you show me shopping for books online. OMg I am in trouble. Hello my name is Rebecca and I’m addicted to books.
My husband is, too. And I am totally telling him about this because he will be super excited.
We are voracious readers in my house. I will definitely be checking out Thrift Books!
I really need to check it every time there is a new book I’m just dying to read. I’d love the savings.
We try hard to have my son read. He is just learning. I am hoping that he will find a love for reading. What a great idea to go to the thrift store for books!
We try hard to have my son read. He is just learning so he is just at the beginning of this journey. What a great idea to go to the thrift store to get books.
This is great! The only thing better than the feel of a real book in your hand is the feel of a real book that you got a fantastic deal on!
We have so many second hand books. I think we could open a store!
Sawheet!! We used a local bookstore last year to buy some of my daughter’s textbooks for university and we saved a small fortune. Will have to take a peek and see what we can find here.
Aw, I love the photo you used. I’ve always been an avid reader and it’s SO awesome to watch my daughter (kindergarten graduate) start to embrace this love.
Free shipping over $10 is amazing especially since books are so heavy! Great dind.
This sounds awesome. My kids all love to read and getting new books. This sounds like a really great option!
I have ordered from them before and the prices are great! Love this site for the whole family.
This sounds like a great resource. My son loves to read so I will be sure to check them out.
What a great resource. I love books and am known to make lists of all the books I want all of us to read! This will surely help with cost. I also so admire you for homeschooling! That is so great! Thanks for this!
What a great deal on books. The savings must be amazing.
This sounds great! My daughters love it when I read to them. My oldest is 6 and she is just learning to read, so she knows some words. I love the prices of these books. Very great prices!
Awesomeness! We are a family of readers too and books can get so expensive. I love the prices on this site and you can’t beat free shipping.
Stacie, Their shipping to Canada is very inexpensive too!
We are all avid bookworms in my family, so this is a great way for me to save on books. This is great for home school books too!
This looks like a great way to stock up on books. It’s so cool that you were able to find the books you needed for such a low price.
The free shipping after such a low amount spent was a great deal too!
I love the idea of getting books at a thrifty price! We are such book-a-holics. It’s hard to get books at full price because we buy too many!
I’m trying to get my kids to love reading. Maybe something like this would be good for them.
The free shipping is awesome, and what a great way to get new books!
That sounds like an amazing way to get good books for cheap! My niece is a huge reader, so I will be sharing this with her.
7 million books?! Wow! This sounds like a great place to keep your kids reading!
I love having books in the house. This is such a great way to have even more and not break the bank.
The best benefit that we can get out of this is that our children will learn to love books. It is not that important whether the book is brand new or second hand. It is the love for reading that we must encourage our child to have.
I will have to check this site out. Saving money on books is always nice!
This is a great way to buy books and save money. I will have to let my friends know about this.
We always donate our used books. I will have to check this site out. Our whole family likes to read.
This is really a great resource. I will be sharing this with family members. We are a family that loves to read.
There are a few books that I need to find for my son. Thanks for mentioning Thriftbooks. I’m heading over there to check.
I like that you can search by category. I have readers in my house too, and big hurrah for it.
We are big readers in this house! Nothing makes me happier than seeing my kids love to read!
You dont have to tell me twice the value of a book! I dont care if it is brand new or thrifted…I love books!
This is such a great idea. My kids love to read. Buying books new can get expensive.
love sales like this awesome deals for something so worth while to help my children
Wow, those are great prices for books. We all love to read but it can be so expensive to constantly buy them new. I love the idea of this.
I love that there is a place that home schooling Mom’s can go and pick up required reading at discount prices. Books, especially school books, can get expensive and borrowing them from the public library-well-you may need them for longer then you can keep them–I also love that their shipping is not all that expensive!
I am glad you posted this blog because I wanted to send my god-son a bunch of new books to read for the summer to keep him occupied. Thanks for sharing.
Such a great idea. My niece was loves reading books and buy a new book when she want’s. She’s really an book lovers i will share this to her i know she would be love it so much
I love buying used books – they have so much character. I’ve never heard of thrift books but I’ll definitely have to check it out.
I will definitely be checking out this Website .. Books are so expensive. As long as they are in good condition .. I have no problem .. thanks for sharing
That’s a great deal!! I would most certainly use this resource when my kids need books, or I want to get them a special book. The shipping price is so affordable!
I hadn’t heard of this before, but I’m going to have to check it out. Books get so expensive, and this sounds like an amazing way to save money.
I have used this before and it is great. Bought a text book from there!
What a great idea. This is so handy to know for parents.
Thanks so much for this post!!! I buy my kids books ALL the time and they cost a fortune (when you add them all up!)
I had not heard of this before but it seems like a great resource. My girls love to read and it seems like some great prices!
I don’t homeschool, but you better believe I’m still checking this site out! You could say that I’m pretty big on reading. 😉
Before I got addicted to my kindle app, I loved buying used books. I still do for my teenager and my tween because they have to actually write in the books to annotate them for school. This is a great resource!
I’ve never heard of this resource but so glad to have learned about it. Sounds like a great way to save, especially for hour homeschool! Thanks!
