It’s no secret that back-to-school shopping gets crazy expensive for teachers. If they’re not shelling out money for art supplies and paper, they’re off buying books and pens. Luckily, many businesses know of this struggle, and often offer educators discounts on their goods or services to help offset the aforementioned costs. Below is a list of all the teacher discounts we could find, with deals on everything from classroom essentials to personal necessities, such as clothes and mattresses.
As with any promo, do confirm that the deal is still in place before you order. But don’t be shy, either! If you don’t see your favorite retailer listed in this article, give them a call and ask if they offer teachers any discounts.
Another pro tip: Many regional museums, theaters, zoos and other educational organizations also offer teacher discounts. All you have to do is ask!
