Your cart is full, the Black Friday prices are up, and you’re wondering whether your teacher discount comes off the sale price or instead of it. It depends on the brand, and for some of them your discount doesn’t work at all while a sale is running.
Michaels takes 15% off the entire purchase, sale items included, and Office Depot’s 20% coupon covers regular and sale prices. Dell’s extra 10% works with select offers. Ring’s 20% isn’t valid during sales events, and Peak Design says its discount may not be valid during a site-wide sale.
Verify before the sales start. Depending on the brand, that’s ID.me, SheerID, VerifyPass, a Michaels Rewards account or the brand’s own form.

Michaels: 15% Off the Whole Order, Sale Items Included
Michaels gives verified teachers 15% off the entire purchase, and it applies to sale items too, which makes it the one to use when Black Friday prices go up. All teachers, staff and faculty in the US from pre-K through post-grad qualify. Verify through your Michaels Rewards account before you shop. Clearance, custom framing, books and magazines and classes are excluded, and you can’t combine the teacher discount with Michaels’ military, senior or Premium Plan discounts.
Full details in our Michaels teacher discount guide.
Office Depot: 20% Off Regular and Sale Prices
Office Depot’s teacher coupon takes 20% off a qualifying purchase at the regular or the sale price, at officedepot.com or in store. Verify with ID.me to get it. Technology and consumer electronics are excluded, and so are ink and toner, so use it on classroom supplies rather than a laptop. The coupon expires at the end of the year. Teachers can also get 25% back in Bonus Rewards on a qualifying purchase, at officedepot.com only.
Full details in our Office Depot teacher discount guide.
Dell: An Extra 10% That Works With Select Offers
Dell gives K-12 classroom teachers and educators an extra 10% off. Sign in to your Dell account, register for Dell Rewards and verify through SheerID, and the discount is applied automatically at checkout. It can be combined with select offers but not with other Dell coupons, so check what your cart accepts during a sale. The member discount covers two eligible products per transaction and two transactions a year.
Full details in our Dell teacher discount guide.
Scholastic Teacher Store: Up to $50 Off Through Cyber Monday
The Scholastic Teacher Store has a Buy More, Save More sale that ends at 11:59 PM ET on Cyber Monday. Use code SAVE and you get $5 off orders of $50 to $99.99, $20 off $100 to $149.99, $35 off $150 to $199.99 and $50 off orders of $200 and over.
Full details in our Scholastic teacher discount guide.
Target: Circle 360 for $49 a Year
Target Circle 360 costs verified teachers $4.99 a month or $49 a year, against the regular $10.99 a month or $99 a year. Teachers, staff and faculty at K-12 schools and colleges or universities in the US qualify, and you verify through SheerID. Your Target Circle Bonus shows up in your account when a campaign is live, so verify before the sale starts.
Full details in our Target teacher discount guide.
Birkenstock: 10% Off Full-Price Styles
Birkenstock gives teachers 10% off full-price styles. Verify with ID.me at checkout. A style that’s already on sale doesn’t get the 10%, because 1774 and Sale styles are excluded, and the discount can’t be combined with other Birkenstock codes or offers.
Full details in our Birkenstock teacher discount guide.
Cricut: 15% Off Materials and Accessories
Cricut gives verified teachers an additional 15% off materials and accessories. Full-time and part-time teachers from early years through secondary school qualify, and you verify through a gocertify form. The discount is applied in your cart and can’t be combined with any other offer, so if Cricut’s own sale takes off more than 15%, take the sale.
Full details in our Cricut teacher discount guide.
Razer: Education Pricing for Teachers and Staff
Razer offers education pricing to teachers and staff. Complete the form to verify and register a Razer ID with your education email. The education discount can’t be combined with other promotions, including products with ongoing promotions, so a product that’s already on a Black Friday promotion won’t take the education price on top.
Full details in our Razer teacher discount guide.
Ring: 20% Off, But Not During a Sale
Ring’s Give-Back discount is 20%, and teachers are included. Click Get Code, sign into VerifyPass, and Ring gives you a one-time discount code to use at checkout. The catch for Black Friday: the discount isn’t valid during sales events and can’t be combined with other offers such as Cyber Monday and Black Friday. If you want the 20%, buy outside the sale.
Full details in our Ring teacher discount guide.
Peak Design: A Discount That May Sit Out the Sale
Peak Design lists teachers among the groups it gives a discount to, and you verify with ID.me. Additional discounts may not be valid during a site-wide sale, on bundles or on already discounted Sale items, so a Black Friday cart may not take it. Verify first and look at the total before you pay.
Full details in our Peak Design teacher discount guide.
Q&A
Q: Which teacher discounts work on sale items?
A: Michaels takes 15% off the entire purchase, sale items included, and Office Depot’s 20% coupon covers regular and sale prices (technology, ink and toner are excluded). Dell’s extra 10% can be combined with select offers but not with other Dell coupons.
Q: Which ones don’t work during a sale?
A: Ring’s 20% isn’t valid during sales events. Peak Design says its discount may not be valid during a site-wide sale. Birkenstock leaves out Sale styles, and Cricut and Razer don’t let you combine their teacher discount with other offers.
Q: Should I verify before Black Friday?
A: Yes. Every brand here has a verification step before checkout: ID.me, SheerID, VerifyPass, Michaels Rewards or the brand’s own form. Do it now instead of with a full cart open.
Q: Is there a sale made just for teachers?
A: The Scholastic Teacher Store’s Buy More, Save More runs through Cyber Monday with up to $50 off, and it’s the one dated teacher-store sale on this list. The rest are standing discounts, so the question is whether they work on sale prices.
