Teacher Discounts: 90+ Stores Offering Discounts for Teachers & Educators

We all agree that improving how we educate our next generation is the factor in continuing to effectively compete in a global economy. Teachers and other educators are on the front lines, but local budget cuts conspire with their generosity to cause them to make an estimated $1.3B in out-of-pocket expenses each year to supply their classrooms.Teacher Discounts

Brad’s Deals wants to do our part to solve this problem by spreading the word about the wealth of teacher discounts that are available, but not properly organized elsewhere.  Here are more than 90 top teacher discounts at bookstores, retail, school supply stores and more that any teacher can start taking advantage of today to cut their out-of-pocket back-to-school expenses.Of course, there are thousands of general online coupons and printable coupons that teachers can use, as well. Please spread the word via Facebook, Twitter or Email to any teachers you know immediately!

  14. M Starkey says:

    Are there any discount programs for home schoolers? We don’t have a school Id but we are still teaching!

    • Caitlin from Brad's Deals says:

      M Starkey, if I were you, I would simply bring in proof that you are a home school teacher! We can’t promise you that this strategy will work, but many stores simply want proof that you are some kind of teacher. These discounts are to show appreciation for teachers, and I believe that many store clerks won’t have a problem giving out the discount as long as you prove that you are a teacher! :) Let us know how this goes for you. We would love to include some info for home schoolers in our list.

      • Nicole says:

        Barnes & Noble gives their teacher discount to home schoolers. I don’t have formal proof yet but they accepted a hand written statement from me as proof 2 days ago. I received a card with entitles me to receive 20% all purchases. OfficeMax does not have a program for home schoolers.

      • Homeschool Mom in VA says:

        Good luck with your discounts!

  24. Sandra says:

    Micheal’s gives 15% educator discount everyday, just show your school ID.

  25. Amass says:

    That’s very thoughtful of them. My parents are both teachers and God knows how much money they spent over the years on books. I don’t get the food discounts, though…

    • Braco says:

      Yes, food discounts should apply to everybody that works in the public system, or nobody. But a teacher’s salary is significantly lower than most of the public system’s other employees. Plus, some of them spend many hours per day at school and haveto spend extra money for food during this time. It’s a noble decision, if you ask me.

  26. K. Hunt says:

    Also, Sea World in Orlando offers discount admissions with your educator’s certificate in Florida from time to time. You will need to check with the park for current offers if available.

  41. Cecelia beck says:

    I’m a homeschool teacher still a teacher and I teach every subject everyday. Nothing against teachers who teach in the public realm however I don’t get a discount any where because I don’t have an I.D. Sad!

    • Lisa says:

      I think some places want to reward classroom teachers because they spend so much of their own money on classroom supplies and resources for which there is no benefit to them or their families…. and, in fact, takes away from the money they have to spend on their own children. Some of these discounts, like Barnes and Noble, are only for classroom supplies in the school system. They give me the discount when I’m buying books for public use in the classroom. They don’t give me the discount if I’m buying educational materials for my own children.

    • iluvcolor says:

      Yes, but do you have a teaching credential? If you do, you should be able to receive the discount. If you don’t, you might want to get one.

  42. Rachel says:
