Welcome to the 5 Day Blog Hop from the Schoolhouse Review Crew! My topic this week is on Free and Frugal Homeschooling. I don’t know about you, but I feel like my budget never stretches quite far enough. Luckily, there are tons of free and inexpensive programs out there that are just as good as the expensive programs on the market. I hope this week you discover ways to save a little bit of money in your homeschool!

Some other low cost options we love to Homeschool language arts:
