The past few days, I’ve talked about the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle and told you about some of the resources and why I think it would be beneficial for your family.
Some of you have been hesitant about purchasing and you’ve emailed in or commented with questions. It makes me so happy that you are carefully considering your purchasing and not just jumping in and buying something because it seems like a good deal.
I am here to help you spend your money in the wisest manner possible. I turn down many opportunities on a daily basis to promote things because I only want to promote the best of the best here.
If you are not in a financial place to purchase the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle, will you do me a huge favor and just skip this post? The last thing I want to do is to encourage you to buy something that you can’t afford.
Why I’m Endorsing the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle
For the rest of you, though, I want you to carefully consider whether purchasing the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle is a good deal for you.
As I told you earlier this week, I am very careful about what I promote here and turn down thousands and thousands of dollars in paid opportunities each year because I want to pick and choose only the very best stuff to promote here. And I believe with all my heart that the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle is worthy of being on my “very best stuff” list.
I want to share 9 reasons why I can rubber-stamp this deal and stand behind it:
1. It Will Teach You How to Cut Your Grocery Bill
Most people think that feeding your family healthfully is going to mean you have to majorly increase your grocery bill. But that doesn’t have to be the case. With resources like the Frugal Real Food Meal Plans, Happy Mom, Healthy Family Meal Planning Workshop + Cookbook, and Grocery University, you’ll learn practical ways to feed your family well — without breaking the bank!
Value: These resources by themselves are regularly priced at more than the cost of the entire bundle. So even if these are the only three books you read/courses you take, it will have been worth buying the bundle. Plus, the tricks and tips you learn for saving money on wholesome food will likely end up paying for the bundle in savings over and over again!
2. It Will Help You Learn a New Skill (FREE Craftsy Class of your choice!)
I feel like there’s so much value in constantly learned and growing as a person. I don’t ever want to become stagnant. And that’s why I’m always trying new things, reading new books, and attempting to learn new skills.
So, I have to be honest: One of the things I was most excited about when it came to this bundle was the FREE Craftsy Class of your choice — up to an $80 value! There are classes on Cake Decorating, Food & Cooking, Gardening, Knitting, Paper Crafts, Photography, Sewing, and much more.
I ordered one of the digital photography classes as this is an area I really want to improve in. I have glanced through the online class and been very impressed with what I see so far and I can’t WAIT to dive into it.
Value: With the Craftsy class, you can learn a new skill or improve in a skill you already know — from the comfort of your own home on your own time table. You might end up turning this skill into a part-time business or just use it as a way to bless others or refuel your own tank. Whatever you end up doing with the skills you learn from the online class, I have to say that I think this is one of the best bonus offers of this bundle!
3. It Will Give You Step-by-Step Help to Feed Your Family Better
Do you want to help your family eat better and feel better but you’re just overwhelmed by all of the information out there? The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle comes with hands-on help ebooks like the Your Grace-Filled Journey to Real Food, Supermarket Ninjas, and Supercharged Food for Kids.
Value: These 3 resources mentioned are (again!) worth more separately than you’ll pay for the entire bundle. And the money you could potentially save on doctor’s visits and medication could be substantial. But not only that, think of the gift you’ll be giving your family by helping them live healthier lives!
4. It Will Inspire You to Exercise & Take Better Care of Yourself
Do you wish you could find a to follow through with all your great intentions when it comes to exercise and taking care of yourself? The Homemaking Bundle comes with a FREE $80 credit to the online Healthy Moving Class — a class designed to help you restore your natural physical alignment and take better care of yourself.
But that’s not all! It also comes with two high-value courses — The Healthy Home (a $95 value) and A Parent’s Guide to Natural Remedies (a $99 value). Both of these courses will help you find ways to have healthier homes and healthier lives.
Value: These two natural living courses and the Healthy Moving Online Class are regularly priced at $260 total — that’s almost a tenth of the cost of the entire bundle! So even if you only use one of these three things and that is the only resource from the entire bundle that you use, it will be worth paying $29.97 just for that one resource!
5. It Will Help You Cut Your Monthly Budget & Save More
Wish you could have some hands-on help to cut your budget and put more money in savings? Help is here! The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle offers multiple books and courses, including the 21 Day Savings Challenge, Become a Frugalista: Money-Saving Secrets for the Frugal Family Manager, Build a Budget that Works, and How To Save Money: A 21-Day Challenge To Save $500/Month that will walk you step-by-step though how to use your finances more wisely and put more money in the bank.
Value: Spend $29.97 to learn how to save a few hundred dollars per month? That’s what I call a deal! {Note: some of you really amazing frugal folks might already be doing everything outlined in these books… if so, you can always request a full refund — see below.}
6. It Will Give You Practical Advice for Earning Money From Home
I receive many emails from women wanting to find a way to earn an income from home. I also receive many emails from moms who have a home business and are struggling with figuring out how to juggle everything.
The good news? This course has ebooks to help you with both. How to Blog for Profit (Without Selling Your Soul) is one of the BEST blogging books out there and I can’t recommend it highly enough, How to be a Work at Home Mom will give you some very practical ideas on how to set up a successful business, and How She Does It will help you figure out how to actually balance and juggle working, homemaking, and being a wife and mom.
Value: These three resources may be some of the most valuable resources in the whole bundle. Why? Because they might teach you ways to earn 5-10 times what you spent on the bundle — every. single. month. Now that’s what I call a good return on your investment!
7. It Will Save You Money on Gifts For Others
One of my very favorite things about the Healthy Living Bundle is that you are allowed to gift any resources or bonuses you don’t plan on using or reading. Yes, you read that right! So if you only are interested in 10 of the ebooks, 2 of the courses, and 2 of the bonuses, you can give all the others away!
You could use these as gifts for a friend’s birthday or an upcoming special occasion. You could split them up as gifts for multiple friends. Or, you could just share them as a way to bless someone who is interested in healthy living.
The bonuses would especially make great gifts! When you purchase the bundle, you’ll get a FREE $15 Credit to Hope Ink PLUS 2 FREE 8×10 Art Prints, a FREE Kids Discovery Box from Green Kid Crafts (note: this is a subscription offer so you’ll need to cancel after you receive the first shipment!), a FREE Stylish Spring Scarf from Deborah & Co., and a FREE book of your choice from Tyndale Rewards.
Value: If you used three of the bonuses/ebooks as gifts for friends for upcoming occasions, that could pay for the cost of the bundle itself — because you wouldn’t need to spend any money (but the cost of shipping) on gifts for those three occasions!
8. It Will Give You New Recipes & Help You With Menu Planning!
If you are looking for recipes, encouragement, or inspiration for how to cook, bake, freezer cook, and menu plan when you have food allergies or you’d just love some menu-planning inspiration, this bundle is bursting with help!
You’ll find a plethora of ideas in the ebooks like No Cook Freezer Meals, Gluten Free & Grain Free Breads, Batters, and Doughs, The Healthy Breakfast Book, Treat Yourself: Real Food Desserts, 7 Simple Steps to Better Grain-Free Baking, Gluten Free Aldi Meal Plan, and more!
Plus, this bundle comes with a FREE 90-day subscription to the She Plans Dinner Menu Planning service.
Value: You won’t have to scratch your head and throw up your hands in despair wondering what you’re going to cook or bake. These ebooks will come alongside you and help you to feel like you can do this! You’ll find new recipes to cook, freezer meals to make, and lots of tried and true gluten-free recipes!
9. It’s a Risk-Free Purchase With a Money-Back Guarantee!
If you are still sitting on the fence right now wondering whether or not you should take the plunge and buy the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle, here’s why you should: it’s a risk-free purchase.
That’s right! There’s a 100% money-back guarantee on it for up to 30 days! So if you purchase it and then decide it’s not as helpful as you’d hoped or that it’s not worth the price you paid, you can get a full refund — no questions asked.
So what are you waiting for? Click below to purchase your Ultimate Homemaking Bundle while there’s still time!
P.S. Remember, this offer ends tonight (April 27, 2015) at midnight! Get it while you can!
Kim says
I just wanted to say that I’m enjoying the comments and enjoying your generosity, Crystal in giving the bundle to some or your readers. I am going to see what I can to do to pay something forward today. 🙂
Crystal Paine says
Thanks so much for your sweet encouragement! I’m glad it was an inspiration to you!
Amanda m says
I was praying in the money. Last night we received a very late Christmas card from someone. It had some money in it, and I was able to purchase the bundle. God is so good! Thanks so much for making this offer available!
anita c says
Every time these things go on sale I get so tempted and excited 😀 It just never seems to come at a good time. Any chance you know how often this bundle becomes available? Or when the next time might be? Thanks!!
Crystal Paine says
I’ve heard rumors that they’ll have a very short flash sale of this bundle in August.
Dawn says
I ordered mine last night, finally!! I was so happy to be able to order through a family, who travels and ministers to homeschoolers, that I love!!
I really like Jacinda Vandenburg’s idea on using this bundle as a Home Ec course for homeschoolers. I’m anxious to look through it and see what I can pull for my 11th and 9th grade girls next year!!
Crystal Paine says
Yay! What a great idea!
Kacy says
I sooooooo want to encourage anyone on the fence with this. Eons ago I was one of the first video reviewers for Grocery University….worth its weight in gold! I don’t have the funds at the moment, but if you do….dive in!
Lyn says
As someone who really needed to consider very carefully if I should purchase this bundle or not, I have to say it is really worth the small investment. I was on the fence debating it for a few days.
It truly is such a great deal. I ordered the free bonus scarf (worth $20) and a free Tyndale book (value $14.97). I’ve already received my money’s worth, which is awesome! There is SO much value in what you are getting versus what you are paying for. Honestly, it’s easy to spend $30 for something that isn’t going to enrich our lives very much, whether it’s a meal out, entertainment, or little purchases here and there that we won’t even remember next week. 🙂
I have a very small budget with very little income right now. However, I see the opportunities that this holds – educating myself and growing further in my knowledge in many areas. I’m very confident that the classes and e-books will help to save me even more money, and possibly to help me earn more as well. Can’t wait to learn…huge thumbs up!
Dawn says
Hi Crystal!! I’m loving reading the gals notes to you as they read your encouragements!! I am in the same boat, and it was so Freeing to be o.k. Not having what I wanted so much !!! That is, the encouragement to not do this if you really can’t!! Do you know why it blessed me? Because I’m so thankful to have known you before your success & I see you and hear your heart in the responses and it is still precious!! That is amazing and this brought tears to my eyes! I love you Crystal! Your indeed “free” <3 bless you and your family, your in my prayers still. P.s What can I do for you, dear friend? 😉 (((hugs))) ya!! Just take your right hand and place it on your left shoulder, good…yes,right now, Good! 🙂 Next, take your left hand and place it on your right shoulder…alright!! Gently, give a warm tug to each…now hold, and release!! How 'bout that?! A HUG that is from my heart to yours, sincerely.
Sandy says
Ok, I love this website, and I love a lot of the advice that you share. But I am so disappointed that you are endorsing this bundle and trying to sell it on your blog. There is a clear motivation by a generous commission. But most importantly, one can get most of these things from the local library for free. In today’s economy, when many people are struggling, why sell the things that are so readily available on the internet? Want to learn about photography? Borrow a book from the library! I know you said you are very selective about endorsing, but why endorse and sell anything? I would honestly appreciate this more if it didn’t have such a high commission for you. It just sounds wrong. I hope you rethink posts like this in the future. A few dollars in commission is not worth losing your integrity over. You’ve worked so hard to get to this point. Don’t sell yourself!
Rachel says
I think this should be shared, straight up front, as well:
http://ultimate-bundles.com/our-affiliates/
“Why should I become an Ultimate Bundles affiliate?”
If I am off base, and this is not a business endeavor on your part, I would think that that is just as important to share as well!!
Crystal Paine says
Oh, absolutely! I’m an author in the bundle, so I get a portion of all the sales. I wrote in my initial post about turning down many paid opportunities and only accepting a few and this being one of them. If you missed that, you can read it here: https://moneysavingmom.com/the-ultimate-healthy-living-bundle-only-available-through-monday
I hope that helps to clarify!
Jen says
I love reading your blog! We just started a debt snowball March 15 (We’re at 4% of our goal!) and though I think this will help overall I will be sticking to the plan and I can’t buy this time! Good luck everyone of your journeys!
Melissa says
So excited about this, but the download link freezes every time. HOPING this thing works… Perhaps the page is being swamped right now.
Saralyn Crawford says
I am excited to read books out of this bundle. I was just a little disappointed that I had to pay an extra $10 for Kindle versions and didn’t know that until I had already paid for the bundle. I wish I had read that beforehand. Either I missed it or it wasn’t there. I’m still glad I got the bundle, just disappointed it cost me $10 more than I expected it would.
Crystal Paine says
I’m so sorry about that! I thought it was pretty clear on the salespage, but I know it could be missed because there is a LOT of info on the salespage. I just read the PDFs on my laptop/ipad/phone so I didn’t mess with upgrading.
barb@livingrichlyinretirement says
Your kindle has an err mail. A different email for each device. Look it up on amazon.com. download the book. Send an email to your kindle email address and attach to downloaded book. No subject needed. It will show up in your kindle
Library like a book but be under documents. I read PDF books all the time on my kindle.
Juli says
I’ve hemmed and hawed all weekend long.
It’s a bit of a gamble for me. Things have been tight as my little one has requyired many dr visits as she has developed some severe allergies which cause her to have asthma attacks. These extra dr visits and medications have cost big.
I don’t want to miss this though (I’ve missed the healthy living bundle in the fall) and think maybe I’ll dive in and pray we are on the right path for her and don’t require any more medications or visits
I’m sure there is something we can cut out this month.
Juli says
Or maybe I’ll win the vitamix and can make her more greens to get her healthy?!?
Angela (ColourandCotton.com) says
Yay! I’m single with no children, but I still thought there were enough useful materials to go ahead and purchase. I’m excited to start reading through and printing things out! I’ll still peruse the homeschooling/mothering resources – you never know! 🙂
Risha says
I’m bummed that these bundles always seem to come up when our budget is extra tight. I missed out on the Healthy Living bundle last fall for the same reason. However, I have been enjoying all the related posts you and other bloggers have been doing the last week or so. I started tackling my paper piles over the weekend and will have to look into getting a copy of the Paperless Home Organization book soon. Thanks for all your tips!
Charlene Thomas says
Hi is there anyone who has ordered it and had a chance read it or parts of it at least yet? I am asking because I am on the fence about buying it. It would be a stretch for my budget but if it would ultimately save me money I would consider doing it. I know there isn’t much time left I am just wondering if it is worth worth it for me to cut into my already take budget. Thank you
Charlene Thomas says
Ok just bought it! 🙂
Debbie says
Is it just for the united states or can Canadians buy it too?
Crystal Paine says
It’s available worldwide.
Amy Wilson says
I have been trying to purchase the bundle for the last 45 minutes with no luck. Is the site working?
Crystal Paine says
They said there was some issue that has now been resolved. I’m SO sorry for the issues. Can you clear your browser and try again and let me know if that doesn’t work? I just ordered one as a gift a bit ago and it worked for me. Hopefully, you’re able to get it to work, too! If not, let me know.
Amy Wilson says
It’s still not working.
Maryalene says
I wasn’t able to order either. Ends up my credit union flagged the transaction as potentially fraudulent (assuming it’s because it was my first time using a new card online) and blocked it. Oh well, maybe next time!
Jenniffer L. says
I’ve been hemming and hawing about purchasing this bundle over the past two days, and had just about talked myself into using a credit card (which I have been trying hard not to use). I saw your note above about skipping this deal if not in your budget which I took to be confirmation to stay on course in avoiding the credit card. Thanks for the encouragement to do the right things financially!
Crystal Paine says
I’d love to buy one for you as a gift. Email me: moneysavingmom @ gmail.com
Jenniffer L. says
That is very kind and generous of you. Thank you!
debbie says
I was disappointed I couldn’t earn the bundle for free as they have done in the past. The Healthy Living bundle was wonderful!
Crystal Paine says
Hmm, they did offer that — it was part of the 4 Steps to Stress-Free Homemaking Course that I promoted. I’m so sorry if you missed that post. 🙁
debbie says
I guess I did miss it. Usually they send me an email too. Boo! Grocery University makes the bundle worth it.
Jen says
I was just wondering if this will be offered again at another time. I would love to get it, but unfortunately it’s not in our budget because we had some unexpected expenses this month.
Thank you for your integrity! I truly trust your opinion. Thanks to you, I am greatly benefitting from the “one complete load of laundry a day” system. I really enjoyed those free videos which I found here!
Crystal Paine says
I’d love to buy you a bundle as a gift. Email me: moneysavingmom @ gmail.com
Jen says
Thank you SO much!!! 🙂
Barb@livingrichlyinretirement says
or perhaps my other post did not go thru? Feel free to delete this one if so.
Any way as a retire and recent widow who usually reads and does not post, I found enough value with the freebies and books I could use, even without downloading the books on homeschooling, parenting or marriage. I figure once I got my free craftsy class on knitting socks, the free kids craft box (put away for Christmas) and all the other free classes it was more than worth the value.
And while I did not look at Crystals best books list, I do have to say the simply dressed book was a great read, especially for someone who has less time in retirement than she did before!
Crystal Paine says
For some reason, my blog decided both of these comments were spam — not sure why! But I’ve rescued them out of spam now!
Barb@livingrichlyinretirement says
oops. Also wanted to add to my other post. For those on a budget, do NOT pay the ten dollars to get them in kindle format. It is very simple to email pdfs to yourself at your kindle address and then read them.
Crystal Paine says
I’m not techie and I like PDFs, so that’s what I do, too! 🙂
Barb@livingrichlyinretirement says
Usually I read and do not comment. On this one however, let me say this…
As an early retiree who has no kids at home and is a recent widow, I bought this one, even knowing that I would not use the kids faith books, the homeschooling books, or the marriage books. I still came out ahead. Even without the books, I ended up with a free craftsy class (on knitting socks), a free kids craft box for four dollars, a free scarf for just shipping, 3 months of menu planing, and a class on neck health that I have redeemed so far. Those more than paid for the bundle without downloading books.
And I love, love the “Simply Dressed Book”, I just applied it to my busy retiree who tends to lounge in her pjs till noon on the days she isnt volunteering or traveling or whatever lifestyle!
Crystal Paine says
I read the Simply Dressed book last night and thought it was very inspiring, too! I’m guilty of the yoga pants or PJs look sometimes, too!
And I *almost* got the knitted socks course, too! It looked so fun… but I was scared it might be above my skill level so I finally went with the photography course.
Barb@livingrichlyinretirement says
well, I do admit that yoga pants or black knit pants are my uniform-cropped or long flared or not. I think its a generational thing that jeans are “dressier” than pants. But other than that I think its a great book. We all kind of have to let go of something-just like ive never put on tied shoes in the morning …
Michele says
I just wanted to say that I loved the part about skipping this post if you can’t afford the bundle. That’s me! So I stopped right there and went on to the comments to say “thanks” for encouraging right choices when it comes to sticking to your budget. 🙂
Crystal Paine says
You are so very welcome! I’d love to buy you a bundle as a gift. Can you email me — moneysavingmom @ gmail.com?
Anne A says
I love that! So sweet!
Tracy says
That is so very awesome 🙂
Sarah says
When I signed up I didn’t see the free craft thing or the free workout thing. If I just log-in should I be able to find those? Or do I need to sign up separately for them? I signed up quickly so I could have missed seeing them…
Crystal Paine says
When you login to the Bundle Download area, there should be a free bonus area and this will have all of the information on the free bonuses. Let me know if you can’t find it.
Sarah says
Found it! Thanks! Got a question- I see a HUGE list of free things from books, classes, the workout one, a free scarf, etc. Are those ALL included in the bundle? If so, I may just do a happy dance!
Crystal Paine says
YES! They all come as free bonuses with this bundle!
Happy, happy dance!!! 🙂
Sarah says
YAY!!!! I am so excited!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! I would have never signed up for this without you behind it. I’ve come to trust you over the years. 🙂
Crystal Paine says
Thank you for your trust — that’s something I don’t take lightly! And I LOVE it when a deal I share ends up being *even better* than someone thinks it will be!
Sarah says
I was definitely not paying complete attention when ordering it (lol), so this is such a welcome surprise! I was focused on finding something to get me out of this bad homemaking rut I’m in.
I am going to pick up the FREE slow cooker from Kmart tonight too! I’m so blessed by your site!
Davonne says
I know it’s okay to give unread resources to a friend or family member, but are bloggers allowed to give away unread resources on their blog to a reader?
Crystal Paine says
I think you should be able to… at least, last time around, we were able to. You might contact them to verify that, but I’m pretty sure it’s allowed.
