Your question: Coupons, Discounts, Sales—Are we like Kohl's?
         I did not write the Life of Fred series in order to make a ton of   money.  I did it to (1) teach a lot of mathematics and (2) to instill in   my readers a love of mathematics.
      
             
      A while ago I typed "beginning algebra" into the Internet  and found:

      These are   tough times for many people, and I have priced the Life of Fred books   absurdly cheaply.  My wife has told me that I should double the prices   and then offer 50% discounts.
      
                
      One last thought . . .   The Life of Fred books are not light weight mathematically.  I know of no other home schooling math curriculum—at any price—that contains more mathematics than the Life of Fred series.
