If you’re a blog reader, you’re probably familiar with the concept of the ebook bundle. In a nutshell, a bundle is a package deal: a bunch of ebooks available for much less than the individual titles would total.
There’s a huge bundle sale going on right now: the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle. It’s available for one week, once a year. The smart people behind the Ultimate Bundles sales have put together a package with a value of $1290, and they’re selling it for $29.97, or $39.97 if you’d like Kindle edition instead of PDFs.
In the past, I’ve gotten overwhelmed just looking down the list of ebooks available in a bundle sale like this. (Even *I* probably won’t read all 99 ebooks.) I finally realized that with a sale like this, you don’t have to love everything: even if there are only a handful of books you want to read, and a few more you’re thinking about, this thing pays for itself.
(A note to the clutterphobes: you can choose not to download those titles you don’t want to read. Or gift them. That’s allowed.)
These are the books that are catching my eye in this year’s bundle:
• Handmade Walls from the bloggers at The Handmade Home. I’ve had my eye on this one since the Nester gushed about it on her blog with all kinds of superlatives.
• Costco Slow Cooker Freezer Meals from Erin Chase of the Five Dollar Dinners blog.
• One Bite at a Time by Tsh Oxenreider. I love my old edition; the latest update is included in this sale.
• How to Blog for Profit Without Selling Your Soul. The first edition was fantastic, greatly exceeding my expectations. I’m excited to read the latest version available here.
• How She Does It by yours truly. 🙂
Those 5 books alone carry a $35 price tag when purchased a la carte, but those plus 71 more are included in your bundle. View the full list of books here. (The bundle also includes 6 ecourses, 1 audio teaching, 2 online conferences, and 14 printable packs.)
This year’s bundle comes with some crazy good bonuses:
• 1 free Craftsy course, up to a $60 value. Choose from 24 of Craftsy’s most popular classes. I’m eyeing two photography classes for me, but my baking-obsessed daughter wants to learn about The Perfect Cupcake.
• 1 free spring scarf from Deborah & Co., a $20 value. Just pay $4 shipping.
• 1 free Kids Discovery Box from Green Kid Crafts, a $19.95 value. Just pay $4 shipping. My kids love Green Kids Crafts. (We’re subscribers.) Think Kiwi Crate, with an environmental/STEM spin.
View all the bundle bonuses here, and please note: you have a full year to download the ebooks, but bonuses must be redeemed by May 28, 2015.
This is a fabulous deal, valid now through April 27, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Enjoy!
Time left until the bundle goes away …

Probably a silly question, but what format are the ebooks in? Kindle?
They’re PDFs. For an extra $10 ($39.97 instead of $29.97) you can get Kindle files.
I see these types of offers fairly frequently, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to make a purchase. It just seems like so much to invest in, and I hate feeling like I wasted money if I were to choose not to use or read some of the offers.
I hear you! That used to keep me from buying them, too.
Do you know of any other bundles like this? The topic isn’t for me with this one, but bundles sound great!
I don’t know of any that are on the market at the moment. This bundle is put out by Ultimate Bundles, and they do several each year: two huge ones like this and a few smaller ones.
