Teachers often incur large expenses when it comes to back-to-school supplies, new gear for the classroom and end of year presents for their students (or even themselves!). Luckily, many retailers provide discounts year round – even services catering specifically to homeschoolers!
Clothing and accessory discounts for teachers have proven extremely popular. Menswear brand Bonobos stands out in particular with their selection of sweaters, chinos and short-sleeve patterned short-sleeve shirts; teachers can take advantage of an incredible 20 percent online discount (when verified through SheerID)! Karen Kane makes clothes that would look right at home in any classroom setting: dresses skirts pants tops that span sizes 2X-3X!
Other discounts for educators and teachers include free shipping at Brooklyn Bedding for orders placed by educators, 20% discounts from Ableton on all products (such as Push and Live), and a 15% discount at JoAnn Fabrics when joining their Teacher Rewards program (online and in store). Other retailers may host specific Educator Appreciation Days or offer special coupons during certain seasons.
At many local and smaller chains, discounts for homeschool-specific purchases may also be available if asked for when making purchases. Don’t be intimidated to present your state-approved teaching ID–it is legal ID that should be accepted when shopping, including school discounts. If a store refuses your educator discount request, ask to see their policy regarding educator discounts–this often will sway clerks!
