| Christi Family is a blog and local family resource for Corpus Christi and surrounding areas of the coastal bend.Created by a family of five, we blog about everything that matters to us. We invite you to read about our journey as we catalogue our thoughts about Family Matters, Fun Matters, Home Matters, Faith Matters, School Matters, and other things that Just Matter (at least to us). We’re exploring Corpus Christi and are providing you with what we find. Whether you’re looking for local resources, wanting to find local events geared just for families, or are wanting a quick reference guide on everything local, this might just be the place for you and yours. We’re filling our pages with resources for mom’s, kids, visitors, newbies, and families in general. As we continue our adventures in life, we’ll also continue our exploration of what we can do with this site and hopefully you'll benefit! Our focus is family, it’s that simple. You won’t find business meetings listed on our calendars, instead you’ll see calendars for families, toddlers, or just parents. It’s your choice! Join the fun! Let us know what you’d like to see or what you think we should explore! We’ll share our thoughts! |
Join the fun!
Half Price Books 10/09/2009 09:39 PM
Unlike regular school teachers, homeschoolers don't always have the luxury of getting discounts at stores that offer teacher or school discounts. There are some places that make you prove you use an accredited program to be able to qualify for the discounts. Half-priced books on the other hand doesn't.
They do ask that you are part of a homeschool organization, but that's it really and by just filling out their Educator's card, you can get 10% off your purchases all year and 20% on Teacher and Librarian Weekend which is going on right now.
All I can say is never underestimate a used book store. We go there all the time and never manage to walk out with our hands empty. Today, we even got a bonus, we walked out with a discount!
We picked up a book of science experiments, several books on chess, manners books, a book filled with classic stories, a model airplane, and a puzzle!
In Corpus Christi, Half Price Books is located at 5425 South Padre Island Dr. at Moore Plaza.
