Confessions of a Teacher Shopaholic: Clothing Discounts for Teachers

Update as of 7/14/14:  Thanks to each of you who have take the time to visit my small corner of the world!  You might also be interested in my other post: Discounts and Perks Every Teacher Should Know, especially as we start preparing for back to school! Happy Shopping! :)

Let me begin by stating that I have ALWAYS been a shopper.  My mom claims that she had me in the mall only a few days after birth and I can honestly state that growing up my deepest dreams and desires often revolved around shopping.  I would stalk magazines, online shopping was second nature and I'd come running for miles if I heard the word "mall" or "shopping" mentioned.  Okay...that's an exaggeration, I don't run very far or very fast...but there isn't a part of me that doesn't love to shop!

However, after starting my career as a teacher you can imagine that money is, well, not overflowing and I'm always on the hunt for a good deal.  Thankfully, many stores offer discounts for teachers if you can procure your teacher I.D.  I've even had stores take my insurance card that states that I work for a school system as proof of my occupation when my I.D. had been left at home.  Below is a list of retail places that offer discounts for teachers and I am on the hunt for more!  Happy Shopping!






Retail Clothing Stores with Teacher Discounts

15% off with a valid school I.D.  They also provide a discount for college students, too!  Most of the time it cannot be combined with any other offers, but it never hurts to ask!

Ann Taylor Loft has a Loft Loves Teachers program.  Here again, 15% off of full price purchases with a valid school I.D.  They also run special discounts and offer grants.  Who doesn't love a good Loft outfit? 

20% off your first purchase once you enroll in their program and 15% off each additional purchase.  Coupon offers are also sent to your email. This is a great place to stock up on some basic teacher apparel, like dress pants and dress shirts.  They also run some really great sales. 

15% off in store purchases with a valid teacher I.D.  Unfortunately this deal is not good at Banana Republic Factory stores.  

15% off of in store purchases.  The offer cannot be combined with other coupons or offers and again, it can only be used in stores.  

15% off for college students and teacher will a valid photo I.D.  It seems that this deal is set to expire on 12/31/13 and is only offered at Tanger Outlet Centers.  

10% off your purchase with a valid school I.D.  As with the Polo Ralph Lauren discount, this seems to be a discount only offered through 12/31/13 by Tommy Hilfiger Stores at Tanger Outlet Centers.

Happy Shopping!

  2. Banana Republic Factory Stores actually do give out a teacher/student discount. It's 10%. It's also the only discount combinable with any other coupon you may have. (I know this because I work at one)
