Here are some companies that choose to thank our educators with discounts.

Ann Taylor Loft understands you need style as well as substance with a 15% discount for teachers every time you shop. In the past J. Crew, Banana Republic, and Aerosoles Shoes have offered a 15% teacher discount at in store checkout.

Borders rewards teachers with a new Classroom Discount Card saves you 25% off classroom purchases every day, plus you can now use your Borders Rewards card with all your purchases and earn Borders Bucks!

Barnes and Noble wants to be a resource for teachers and sets you up with both in store and online classroom purchases.

JourneyEd.com has all the best software and fantastic prices for educators as well as students.

You do get summers off so make the most of it with STA Travel discounts.  The Educators Bed and Breakfast site offers unique experiences at $40 per night for two with continental breakfast.  Live like a local and enjoy meeting fellow educators while you travel.  And for those working for public schools check and see if you qualify for the outstanding government discount offered at hotels.

If I left anything out no doubt the Gift Card Granny caught it.

The Frugal Diva loves to buy online – better prices, no parking problems, product reviews- however there are ways to cut the price even further.  Here is a list of sites that give coupons, money back, or shipping reductions.

Fat Wallet gives you coupons and cash back.  Click through from their site and start seeing dividends for your shopping forays.

Coupon Cabin is a reliable site for both online and printable coupons. The $5 off at Target is for $50 which is usually the amount needed to get free shipping resulting in a double savings. 

Borders (with free membership) give you discounts with their partners.

Amazon has daily deals that might be just the ticket coupled with free shipping on some items.  

And always check with The Frugal Diva for the latest in deals.
