Hi ,
As promised, I wanted to touch base with you today to fill you in on everything you need to know about the upcomming Build Your Bundle Sale on Monday. While there is some information that I
cannot yet reveal about the sale, I have quite a few tips and tricks below that you can do to prepare yourself for the sale.
Let's be honest here. As homeschooling moms, we can preform an alarming number of tasks with multiple children underfoot and still find a way to get things done. However, that enviornment isn't necessarily ideal when it comes to picking and choosing homeschool curriculum. We need time to consider our options to ensure we are spending
our homeschool budget wisely. My top tip is to set aside time, when the children are asleep perhaps, to prepare yourself for the sale and to choose a day during the sale week to make your purchase. If you haven't already get the sale dates written down somewhere or Click Here to add the sale to your Calendar. This may sound obvious, but you wouldn't head into a grocery store without at least some idea of what you needed to purchase....otherwise you'd end up with a hodge podge of food items that might not make
a balanced meal. Homeschooling is the same way. Take a few moments to make a list of needs for each of your students. Use this simple subject list to get started. Take inventory of what you already have on your shelves and what you need to purchse for the coming year (or two if you like). Once you have a good idea of what subjects you'll need to purchase for, take a quick peek at the
vendor list. While you won't be able to see the spcific products on sale (until Monday) you can still get a look at which of your favorite vendors will be participating in the sale. NOW is the time to learn more and research any curriculum publishers you might want to purchase from...that way there are no time contraints adding unnecessary pressure. The Build Your Bundle Sale is a Christian run event, and all products are either expressly Christian in nature, or are not
in opposition with a Christian worldview (math for example). Step 4: Understand the Pricing Structure (Ahead of Time) We all want to get the best bang for our buck so knowing how to shop the BYB is an important step. The Build Your Bundle Sale is an annual sale and as such we can
look to prior years to understand the pricing structure before we can even begin to shop the sale. Here is a quick overview to help you understand how the sale works:
The BYB Sale Pricing Structure:
- 20 Homeschool Bundles:
These are pre-assembled bundles in which products are grouped by either age or subject (Early Learning, Charlotte Mason etc.....) These are priced up to 95% off and contain around 10-15 product titles in each depending on the bundle.
- Build Your Own Bundle: Pick and choose from almost 200 products to make your own bundle. There are three different ways to build your own
bundle, depending on how many products you want to include. This is a great way to pick and choose ONLY the curriculum that you want in your bundle. (Personally, this is how I shop the BYB every single year)
- Buy 2 Bundles Get 1 Free: This is a fantastic opportunity to really stack the savings if you plan it out in advance. Basically, when you purchase two bundles you'll get the 3rd free. The free one will be the
least expensive one in your cart of course, and they must all be the same type of bundles (pre-assembled or build your own). Just knowing that this is available to you is important as you plan to shop the sale. We've had so many people miss out on this opportunity just because they didn't know about it.
- BONUS COUPON: This coupon is ony available to you prior to
the sale starting. Once the sale is live you cannot request the coupon code. You'll need to sign up here, and the coupon code will be emailed to you on Monday morning when the sale starts. In years prior the coupon has been a nice surprise to take even more off the bundle prices, and is definitely worth having.
- Exclusive Offers & Freebies: These are available to anyone who shops the Build Your Bundle Sale. Immediately after ordering, you'll also receive the free
downloadable coupon book that will contain hundreds of dollars in savings for some of your favorite curriculum publishers.
Okay, you are all set with everything you need to know before the sale starts on Monday! Be sure to watch for our emails this coming week. We'll be featuring
some of our favorite picks, top deals, and helpful ways to sort through all of the products.
Don't forget to share this sale information with your friends and homeschool groups!
