Back-to-school shopping requires teachers to dig deep into their pockets for essential supplies. According to one recent study, teachers spend on average $820 annually on supplies for their classrooms. While many retailers provide teacher discounts, not all do – however there are ways they can still save money while purchasing what they need.
Best Buy does not offer an educator discount specifically; however, their Education Program provides special offers to both secondary school students and parents of such schools enrolled. Membership to this program may be granted or denied at its sole discretion by Best Buy.
Coupons Can Provide the Teacher Discount
Although Best Buy’s lack of an educator discount may be dissappointing, there are still multiple ways for educators to save money as teachers. From textbooks and electronics discounts, to coupons and offers specifically targeted to educators – teachers have plenty of ways to save money with Best Buy products!
The most sought-after options include:
JoAnn Fabrics: Teachers can enroll in the JoAnn Rewards program to enjoy 15% discounts online and in stores, as well as get specials and coupons sent right to them each month. Michaels Arts & Crafts Store also provides teachers with 15% savings both in-store and online by registering their school ID number and email address online to qualify.
