The first things I reloaded to my favorites were my e-book sites. How much are you paying for books and curriculum these days? Have you checked these out?? Ambleside Online has links to several good e-texts:
Ambleside you will want to click on the links for subject areas and grade levels to get all the links to specific books. The art and music links are awesome to include printable works of art to study and midi files of classical music
Baldwin Project this one is a favorite of mine because one of the first purchases I made as a young mom was a set of 100 yr old Baldwin Readers from an open air book sale in Yellow Springs, OH. They have always been some of my favorite children's books. This collection is not limited to Mr Baldwin's works however.
Hoagies free gifted online hs courses
Arthur Mee Children's Encyclopedia havent assembled all my links for him yet but do check it out
My Bookhouse by Olive Beauprey Miller. Again, don't hate me <g>, I bought the whole set at a dollar a bag at a library sale in the early 90s before I had a clue who she was. link 1
the next two are online programs not etexts but we have enjoyed them enough to share here:
Montessori LEarn to Read for free - programmed reading work
Study Dog reading program
Genevieve shared the Hillbilly Housewife homeschool links which have been growing to now include a full K-12 curric. These now include links to COMPLETE bks of grammar and math.
these links are to Catholic and Christian sites:
Miniature stories of the saints Cath.
Written Treasures moralistic stories from yesteryear - Christian
Padfield bible studybks and Calvary Chapel worksheets - Christian
Catholic church history, papal encyclicals, and philosophy
Honestly - we need not spend a dime. If you have more to share please do!
What a wonderful group of links! I love free. :) (hope this works, I'm yet again having trouble commenting)

There is so much available online, really excellent stuff too. I see some new links in your listing to check out, very exciting! For science I really like to just be outside, observing. www.enature.com has a nice field guide for looking critters up, and Wikipedia usually has lots of links to explore after you know what your critter is.
