Freely Educate

Get $5 for Selling 3 Books

Today, I thought I'd share a way to make money instead of the normal free educational find.  When you sell 3 books in January through Cash4Books (just submit a ISBN and they'll let you know if they'll buy it - they especially love textbooks), they'll give you a $5 cash bonus PLUS the price of the books (and you even get free shipping!).  I'm definitely taking advantage of this one!

How to Get this Deal: 

• Visit Cash4Books.net
• Become a member, if you aren't one yet
• Enter the ISBN of some books you want to sell
• To get your $5 bonus:  include this email in with your box of three books .  The bonus will be credited to you via Paypal.

 

Deadline for the $5 bonus:  January 31, 2011

A Special Offer on Stories of the Pilgrims

A note from Lori:  Jim Hodges recently sent me his beautifully made recording of "Stories of the Pilgrims."  Our children are enjoying it each afternoon this month.  Jim created a sale exclusively for us!  See the following for the details...

Download an

unabridged recording of
"Stories of the Pilgrims"
For Only $15!

Save 40%! 

Plus get a free text file of the entire book!

Available Here!

Hello Everybody!

Jim Hodges here - homeschooling dad of 3 successful adult children, retired Navy man, and long time self-employed recording artist. 

Gotta' tell ya' - you and your family will love to listen to these fascinating stories together as you prepare your hearts for Thanksgiving.  This is an unabridged recording of the fantastic book Stories of the Pilgrims that is very popular inside and outside homeschooling circles.  You get the audio and the text of the entire book for one low price!

Stories of the Pilgrims begins with Queen Anne's visit to Scrooby Inn, and tells, in story form, the everyday life of the Pilgrims in England and Holland, of their voyage on the Mayflower, the struggles to survive in the Plymouth Plantation, and other adventures in the New World.

The Brewster children and other Pilgrim boys and girls are the center of interest.   Although the book was written for a younger audience, you will be amazed at how much you learn about these dedicated Christian men and women: the toil, fear, death, and desperation they endured in order to raise their children to follow God as they believed He wanted, and to plant in this new country "a city on a hill" to which all the world may come.

When this recording was first released, I got a phone call from a woman in Canada who wanted to order 5 copies.  Not a little surprised, I told her I would be happy to sell them to her!  She then asked me to mail them to 3 different locations.  And then came the cool part - her last name was Brewster!  And she informed me that I would be teaching her grandchildren, all of them also direct descendants of the Brewster family,  about their family heritage.

 

Normal Price: $25
Now for Immediate
Download for $15 HERE

In addition to the audio recording, I am including, at no additional cost, the compete TEXT of the book in a file you can also download.  This way you can have the children follow along in the text as they listen!

Younger (and older!) listeners will learn about pronunciation, characterization, pause, emphasis, and all the nuances of an audio delivery that bring the printed word to life.  And it costs you nothing!

 

I started recording books so my children and grandchildren could hear Papa read a story to them at any time.  And I choose the books I record very carefully!  It takes a long time to record a book, and I want to use all of my time wisely so it will have lasting impact.

 

In addition to this great childrens story, you will find unabridged recordings of 15 of the G. A. Henty historical novels on the website, and fantastic Old Time Radio Shows that will educate as well as entertain.

 

Once you download this recording, feel free to look over the rest of the website as well.  You are sure to find many products that will make your homeschool life educational, entertaining, and edifying.

 

 If you want to download Stories of the Pilgrims, you can get it here! for 40% off the price of the same recording on CD.

Although it's a little early, Happy Thanksgiving To You!

With Hope in Him,
Jim Hodges

Savings (if you hurry)! Free Appetizer @ Chili's

Here's a savings I found tonight, directly from Chili's, the restaurant chain.

If you sign up for Chili's email club, you get a free appetizer: Chips & Queso (ohhhh, that queso...)!

I just did it. All I had to do was put in my name and email address, then on the second page, I had to put in my zip, birthdate (so no kiddos can get in on it), and choose a local Chili's.

Tip for small town folks like me: Since there isn't a Chili's in my town, I had to use the zip code in the nearby bigger town where I'd go to Chili's.

2nd Tip: There are only so many to go around, so hurry up if you want to take advantage of it (I'll remove this post when the offer is expired).

3rd Tip (goodness): The form also let me get a FREE Brownie Sundae by providing a little extra info. So, there's that temptation, too. Sigh. You can also sign up lots of friends, but I didn't do that - I don't like giving out people's email addresses. I'll just send them here to this post and let them do it for themselves.

How to Get this Savings:  Visit Chili's site

p.s. This is a Limited Time Offer.

Savings Alert! Pay $25 for a $50 Certificate to the Gap

I wasn't going to post this, since it's not a "100% free" offer, but since so many of you signed up for the Groupon which I posted about this week, I thought I'd make sure you know that today's (Thursday, August 19th) Groupon deal is a good one.  Pay $25 for a $50 certificate to the Gap, redeemable nationwide! This is a great deal for back-to-school clothes shopping (it's habitual, homeschooler or not, to think of that at this time of year -- do kids grow over the Summer or what?!).

This deal is only good through today, so closes at midnight EST.   My apologies if you received this post in your feed or email too late.  You can still join Groupon (it's simply an email & password registration) so you don't miss out next time they have a great deal.

5 Sites that Help Us Save & Make Money

I've been enjoying a few 100% free money-saving sites lately and thought I'd share them with  you, too, this weekend, between freebie posts.  Some might require a sign-up, but it's hassle-and-spam free (I'm a member on all).  Here are the ones I'm using lately:

If you have a Groupon city near you, I am so jealous. Groupon offers an exceptional daily deal from a local vendor. These are great for city dwellers or for those traveling to a big city.  Check it out; it's a lot of fun!  There's a fella actually living off Groupon - no cash, no stuff - for one year.

Daily Worth is a daily email on financial topics. It's run by a work-at-home mom of two who has a successful consulting business and loves making (and saving) money. (updated 8/16/10:  offer now expired)(updated 8/18/10:  I found another source, so it's back up!)

At Coupons.com, you can find grocery coupons. Pick and choose which coupons to print, saving printer ink.

Don't forget Mint, the site I mentioned recently as a good site for economics students (and you).  I've been using it on both my computer and my iPod Touch (since there's an app for that!).  Mint sends me reminders in my email when our accounts have new deposits or if any of the alerts that I set up go off (such a big purchase or a low balance).  I haven't dug into the budgeting aspect of it yet, although I hear that's where Mint shines.

And #5  isn't a money-saving site, but a money-creating one.  My bloggy friend, Jennifer James, recently co-wrote an ebook called From Blog to Business. It's great. And it's free.

What are some of your favorite financial or money-saving sites?
