The Homeschool Buyers Co-op
a non-profit working on behalf of homeschooling
families throughout the country, negotiates discounts from leading suppliers
of products such as curriculum, media, science kits, books, educational
games and toys and more! Membership is FREE to all homeschoolers. You learn
about the discounts through the Co-op but buy directly from the educational
suppliers. The idea is to help consolidate buying power for homeschoolers
all over the country so that "we" can get the same educational price
discounts from participating suppliers as do many school districts.
The more members we have, the greater the discounts we will be able to
negotiate on your behalf!
