Teachers know the cost of maintaining an appropriately equipped classroom can be significant, which is why they must look for savings wherever possible. Luckily, there are discounts out there to help stretch budgets while still getting everything they need – from textbooks and teaching resources to decorations and furniture – making these discounts an effective way for educators to save this school year.
Amazon Prime stands out as an invaluable benefit for teachers, providing free two-day shipping of orders of any size and kind. This can be especially helpful when teachers need books and supplies quickly – or are faced with last minute emergencies when students show up without backpacks or lunchboxes – plus exclusive Prime Day deals offer reduced products exclusively to Prime members.
Other benefits available to teachers include Amazon Books for Education, which allows them to purchase electronic books and access digital content; Apple products are offered at special education prices; there’s also Amazon Business for Education that allows schools and administrators to make tax-exempt purchases with multiple teachers enrolled as administrators can streamline the ordering process; additionally AWS Educate provides free self-paced lessons and interactive challenges designed to prepare them for cloud careers.
As well as these Amazon benefits, many other stores also provide teachers with discounts and free items when they present valid educator ID cards. McAlister’s Deli offers teachers free 32 oz tea when showing valid educator ID cards; Talbots and A.C. Moore both provide 15% discounts to teachers; while office supply stores like Home Depot often give discounts when educators present ID cards.
