Hobby Lobby doesn’t give teachers a discount. If you’re buying craft supplies or classroom decor with your own money, your best saving is cash back: TopCashback gives 3% back on Hobby Lobby orders, Rakuten gives 2% and Fluz gives 1.5%.
Hobby Lobby sells craft and DIY supplies, home decor and seasonal items, and it has a classroom decor department with posters, anchor charts, bulletin board decorations and rugs. Teachers shop there for exactly that, so the cash back adds up over a school year of bulletin boards.
How To Get The Hobby Lobby Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher rate, code or form. Here’s how to get 3% back with TopCashback instead:
- Create a free TopCashback account.
- Search for Hobby Lobby and click the Get Cash Back button. It sends you to the Hobby Lobby website.
- Start with an empty cart, add your items and check out like normal.
TopCashback pays on the price of the items only, not on taxes, shipping or fees. It doesn’t pay if you use a coupon code it doesn’t display, so don’t paste in a code from somewhere else. Check the rate on TopCashback before you pay, since it changes.
Other Ways To Save At Hobby Lobby
- Rakuten, 2% back. Rakuten pays 2% back on Hobby Lobby orders. It doesn’t pay on gift card purchases, and a coupon or promo code that Rakuten doesn’t list can cancel your cash back.
- Fluz, 1.5% back. Fluz pays 1.5% on purchases at Hobby Lobby, and its rate can change, so look before you buy.
- The Weekly Ad and back-to-school sales. Hobby Lobby says it runs discounts in its back-to-school sales and in its Weekly Ad. It doesn’t post a percentage for them, so look at the ad before you go. Joining the email list gets you the Weekly Ad, promotions, project ideas and store news.
- The school discount. Hobby Lobby gives schools 10% off in stores when the purchase is made with an organizational credit card. If your school has one, ask the store manager how to get the discount. It isn’t for a teacher paying with a personal card.
Pick one cash back route per order. TopCashback pays the most, so start there unless it isn’t tracking.
